I use the clip/lock on 3M with handle. Change one for bedrooms; one separate for kitchen & small makan corner; one for living & dinning. Once each cloth used and rinsed, just hang up individual cloth for drying. The mop handle not affected, just rinse. I leave the cloth to dry till next cleaning. Easier than traditional mops, coz no place to put entire mop for drying.

I have the 3M clip lock. Service yard will not have tap to wash mop. I mopped the floor today as it is sticky and dusty. Then I was wondering where to hang the mop to dry. Looks like I would have to use the common toilet. Will put a clip lock in the toilet tomorrow.
Used 4 pails of water to mop the entire flat...no joke. 2 pails for living room, 1 for kitchen and service yard, 1 for rooms.
Thanks for all the valuable input. Lots to learn and adjust living in the new place. No point doing big cleaning since it will be dirty again after movers come in.

Hubby said I would not be able to cope when I get older.

Janet,

Agree. I'm aging very fast now & feeling more exhausted esp helping PIL with cleaning since MIL's op. Had to get SIL to take over now that I'll be away till end June.

Consider getting a LT part-timer fr a reliable source. But I just noticed in other thread on PT helper's that cost work out to double a stay-in helper. Yikes!

Janet,

When do u need to handover the hse to new owner? Ya the pl would be dirty again after the movers shift in the big items. I cleaned all the furniture after the shifting coz the truck they used fr transportation was quite dirty. Used this opportunity to spring clean
i engaged cleaning svr but realised it was not thoroughly cleaned. There were still dust in the drawers n windows. I took out all the drawers n shelves, cleaned n sun. Used a lot of disposal wipes.
It took us abt a mth to clear all the things in the old hse. We planned our renovation, shifting shui shui but at the end, still emcountered many hiccup.
Take one step at a time. We old oredi…cannot act hero n do everything at one go. I used to be a kan cheong spider…nw i learn to relax n accept imperfection. My living n dining areas still look like a warehouse.
Still trying to figure out hw to arrange n store my barang. I like to shop ard daiso, japan hme n ikea to hunt fr containers, racks. I am very slow when come to keeping n organising n labeling my barang

I got a part-time cleaner for my parents. Once a week, 4hrs, major cleaning of toilets, mopping, changing sheets, etc. Think it is 18/hr these days.


Parents are still healthy and mobile and it is just the 2 of them in that flat so they can still do the daily stuff.

LT - Long Term

Some u uses PR help one-off or after op for a mth or move-in cleaning services. I'm looking for local LT PT cleaner coz PIL really old & need help with basic chores. I can't find Msian cleaners. Most PT, unless with local agencies type, are really FDW (Pino, Indo or Mynmar) moonlighting & will put me in trouble with MOM.

Is the white item the water filter? Do you put your cup or mug to get the filtered water?

The PT cleaner that I got for my parents is a local lady. Been about 2 years already. Engaged her via NTUC Cleaning Services. $280/4 weeks, for 4hrs each time.

Starlight,
The white item is the water filter. Just put a cup under the outlet and turn the knob...water will be dispensed.
The filter doesn’t require electricity. The guy who installed it said it’s better to put further away from the sink so that it doesn’t get in the way when washing bowls. The rubber tubing provided is long enough.

It’s a strange feeling when I think tonight is the last night we are sleeping in this flat. But after moving almost 90% of our stuff over, this place doesn’t feel like home anymore.
