Angelwrath 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2007 (edited) Now this is a MUST HAVE for stainless steel lovers. Works great on ANYTHING that is made of stainless steel as well as any metal surface. Not only cleans but also leave a protective layer on the metal, enable it to withstand dirt/dust. Use this to spray on every steel you just bought and it will be easy to clean in future.I went to buy this already after reading recommendations~ wonderful thread for first-timer like me. thanks bro MaCeneed an advice, can this be used on laminates too? i saw another brand call Softfix, those specifically said it's for laminates.

MaCe 3 Report post Posted August 29, 2007 (edited) Great thread, all the saving tips cos money not enough.From Kam Bong Yan, detergents to lightings...Who is Kam Bing Yan ?any tips is fine, keep it going.Kam Bong Yan = sandal woodI put it as kam bong yan so that:1) when you say you want KAM BONG YAN, everyone knows what it is.2) even if you walk into a incense shop specialised in kam bong yan, and tell them you want sandal wood, they will tell you to go to wood factory to find , they NO SELL. this is a kam bong yan(sandal wood) $2.50 for 50pcs in a packet. I went to buy this already after reading recommendations~ wonderful thread for first-timer like me. thanks bro MaCeneed an advice, can this be used on laminates too? i saw another brand call Softfix, those specifically said it's for laminates.i remembered reading some lousy review on sofix thats why didnt buy. heng wife didnt bought it.another brand to aviod is simi murphy oil soap - think not avaliable in sg.I dont have laminates - so wouldnt dare to say comment anything - but what i heard is laminates can be clean using just normal chemicals(detergents).

MaCe 3 Report post Posted August 29, 2007 (edited) Chemicals againMagicClean (green) - use this for major spot cleaning, a must have for all households. Worth every penny paid.MagicClean (blue) for glass - didnt find anything special with it. tried it on both EXTREMELY dirty window and normal dusty windows. Already switch back to KIWI's KLEEN glass (been using for 10+ yrs in my old house) the blue liquid is actually KIWI, not magicclean.Side note : DONT BUY the simi Mister Mussels, even my mum makes a lot of noise, a stupid product that COULD NOT clean anything clean. Might as well fold your $$$ into aeroplane and watch them fly in the wind.Refill packs - ALWAYS BUY refill packs unless you dont have the container - they are a lot cheaper and enviromental friendly.KIWI KLEEN Glass cleaner - refill pack - still the most reliable value for money. btw, they have been around for donkey years liao.MAMA lemon refill pack - been around in sg for at least 30 yrs - still the most effective/value for washing dishes.JIF or CIF - another product that has been around for donkey years.use it for ceramic tiles/basin in the toilet, find it BEST for cleaning white ceramic.

hello88 2 Report post Posted August 29, 2007 need an advice, can this be used on laminates too? i think cannot be used on laminates. I usually buy this big budget liquid detergent for my dishes, ranges from $3-$5. Can last me very long, I merely need to refill onto my mama lemon bottle.I prefer the clear bottle ones as I can just get a new one when its running low.

Prettibride 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2007 Wow..these tips are really good. Besides the 3M spray, there is another product called Pledge, good for Stainless Steel items too. And leaves a nice fragrance after use. I use it for my kitchen tops and SS backing. Can't wait to tryout the fitted sheet folding method soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
