applefreak 1 Report post Posted May 28, 2008 main difference between normal cabinets and concrete support is the material one is plywood and laminate, the other is hollow bricks with tiles thing about the sink area is the high moisture and the water pipes the moisture will slowly seep into the plywood and cause the area to smell if pipes leak, and the owner didn't notice the cabinet is gone case liao on the other hand, concrete support doesn't have these problems but it's much more expensive, and not so nice as cabinets unless you pay extra to cover up with doors but then it brings back the wood-and-water issue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

applefreak 1 Report post Posted May 29, 2008 yes that's true as long as you take out the clothes while it's still warm and hang them up don't really have to iron unless you want the 'iron-lines' just give the clothes a good hard shake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skywolf 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2008 Aiyo, cannot ask me abt WM and dryer de. I am an absolutely sotong abt it. Only my mum uses the WM. I hand-wash everything. But i will still get one because of practicality reasons (hubby to wash the clothes in future. ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redknapp39 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2008 I think if u lazy to iron most of ur stuff such as jeans, pants, tshirts, just topup $100 and get the one that has creaseguard/iron aid. But for those office tops, u sure must iron even with these creaseguard/iron aid functions. If not, it will still look a bit crumpled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

applefreak 1 Report post Posted May 29, 2008 hmm maybe i'm not too particular so my clothes are ALL from-washer-to-dryer-to-wardrobe-to-my body :lol: another thing to consider, i pick material that doesn't crease much when i buy clothes so that helps quite a bit as for easy way to iron, learn how to operate a vertical steam iron so far feedback i heard is it really works but it seems difficult to learn the skill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BunBun 5 Report post Posted May 29, 2008 Ya steam iron works cos i tried it out yest (my iron got this steam function) but there are some creases that still cannot iron flat till it is no longer visible as a crease. hmm maybe i'm not too particular so my clothes are ALL from-washer-to-dryer-to-wardrobe-to-my body :lol: another thing to consider, i pick material that doesn't crease much when i buy clothes so that helps quite a bit as for easy way to iron, learn how to operate a vertical steam iron so far feedback i heard is it really works but it seems difficult to learn the skill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
