never heard of any product specifically created for cleaning such material(top). general consensus towards "plastic" = NOT to use anything that is strong.

hmm...reminds me of my acrylic/plastic polish for cars.

Years back when my buddy show me this metal thing and told me this thing could remove whatever odour..fish/onion/grease/petrol/kerosene from my hands. I laugh at him and tell him to f*** off.

But when he(DIY king) look really serious and show me his dirty greased hands and then wash his hand with the metal thingy like a soap bar. I smell his hands...no shiit , no smell!

Actually this thing exists for years liao - just that it didnt make it's way into singapore until recent years.

Avaliable only at that aussie mini mart at the basement of parkway parade - around $5-6.00

Mace, the cedarfresh sure looks interesting!! Wow so many effective things to buy, I am making a list on my pda now! Hee...

My aunt teach me to put bleach into a spray bottle to clean toilet's wall & floor but must avoid the metal parts of the toilets. Quite effective except the smell. Leave it for 5-10mins then wash off with a hose.

thats a cheap way(money saving) used by my mum's generation. But then they dont mind having rough rough hands - bleach.

Use magicclean also can - just not as cheap as bleach.

And dont look down on bleach, they may be cheap but they REALLY KILL germs hor.

if you burn them consistently, soon, you will find DEAD flies or cockroaches. Yesterday when sweeping floor, found a few dead flies.

I use them nearly every day, cos i burn them for my altar table also.

go buy this - make sure it's TOKAI brand - $4.00-$6.00

UPDATEs

Kam Bong Yan - cheapest i have found is $2.50 for 50pcs. thats $0.05 per piece.

FYI - One stick of cigarette already $0.59

Will check with a fren's fren whose mum operates a incense shop, see whether can get cheaper or not if buy by carton.

pls dont buy this, it really leave a lot of mess.
