lachesis 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2010 U know those price tags on gifts we buy, I have seen a salesman using a lighter to sort of heating the tag very quickly and peel off. Initially when I saw him taking out the lighter, i was . I tot why he needs a lighter to wrap present? The tag came off nicely but with our furnitures, better try with cautious. Err.. don't think will try that. Might end up burning fingers, or setting the item that we just bought on fire! Woooossssh..... hahahaha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samgalz 2 Report post Posted July 30, 2010 (edited) i jus realised last nite that if i put an excessive amount of the goo gone then the glue stains come off easier. we might be too stingy with the amount used anyway, am progressing lah, jus lamenting why i wanted to save the money in the first place. shd jus spend and be relieve of the pains of labour....haiz... the melamine sponge, yes, i bought from daiso too. but wun use it first. after clean the stain out then will use that to polish the window glass. dun waste a good sponge cos the glue will render it useless within a few swipes. i tried it with the scouring sponge and this was wat happened! thanks gals_mama & lachesis, yeah 2 more days to move in and the horror of unpacking..... sgnick, yeah good luck in the shift too! u know, i have been thinking, would a steam cleaner help in the removing of the stain? i apply to goo gone then steam the window....glue might react better...what u think, guys? cos i was thinking before this to buy the advante beetle for steaming my carpet and DIY aircon cleaning... but was putting off to a later date after we move. If it might work, I might bring forward the buy.... Edited July 30, 2010 by samgalz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sam if I'm mistaken I saw on HGTV you have to put ice on the glue to come off, not heat, coz heat will just melt the glue and make it harder to take off.

My painting is this one http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=32690 (L97cm x H66cm) I think need to dismantle from the original frame, etc. Not sure how to do it, so thinking to get an expert for the job.

I used to use someone in Geylang but I think she's closed down now. My colleague recommends this place in Bukit Merah, near the Alexandra village, she said very reasonable.

mahjongace 0 Report post Posted July 30, 2010 Thanks! Love it too, we took a huge risk when we decided to order via catalogue sales with Hommage and so far the quality and looks of the items have met up with our expectations. Though there is still one wardrobe pending which Eric initially missed out on arranging delivery as it is being delivered by supplier. Had a very frustrating tel-con this afternoon with the girl working with the supplier. Earlier on Monday, hubby arranged with the supplier to send this Thurs btw 2-4pm....guy say ok...fine, settled. Hihi SamGalz, Need advice from you..haha So the furniture is delivered by their supplier instead of Hommage? I've also ordered a dining table from them that would arrive on 3/8/10. Hope there's no more hiccups from them like the first dining table that i ordered from them. Anyone has any idea where i can get study room chairs? those with back rest and wheels de...i saw some from IKEA...but duno if they are durable enough or not.

Another hurdle is all the cleaning and unpacking but after that can relax liao. I wonder whether the steam cleaner is good especially the robot type that being mentioned in last Sunday times?
