My ID remind me lots of time to tell me if I can't take hairline crack I can't go for cement flooring, so I am well prepare. I just take those hairline as the pattern of the floor lor hahaha.

I looking at louvered blinds with ball chain system instate using the string pully thingy, I love blind just that I think is much more easy to maintain just have to wipe down and dust it than will be all good.

I am sure I will need to host some friends and family during CNY, why ah? want to visit me ah?? hahaha

Wooww your house looking great, super like the cement floor :good:

You can use coffee powder to remove the smell after renovation..

Charcoal, coffee powder, baking soda..

Daiso has a wide range of charcoal products for cabinets, fridge, bathroom.

I am also thinking about using baking soda. Need to go NTUC find find.

Always no stock one lor.

Must cut lah.. lol.. coffee leftovers is gd too!

hahaha I was thinking you ask me use Pineapple to bring wang wang for the house when I 1st read it. lolx...

Coffee Powder maybe is a good idea. I go ask ask can the cafe in my office collect for me.

Lazy to cut my nespresso capsule

Oh and tea leaves! The carpenter boss told me so and I kinda like it. Smells good and it's chemical free.

You use left over tea leaves or???

Chinese tea right?

Second charcoal and baking powder. :)

Daiso has charcoal packs, and NTUC has baking powder packs (for deodorizing) at around $1.80.

Thanks Kara, my cleaning guru. Lots to learn from you.

Now thinking can I use the magic sponge to clean my counter top, also thinking maybe can use Mr. Muscle Total Kitchen to clean the counter top. Did you try before?
