renaz 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2007 i can vouch 4 the 3M stainless steel cleaner...........actually found out by accident fm the supplier of my kitchen solid top when they came 2 polish..........n they recommended the stainless steel cleaner to 'polish' or rather add shine to my counter top (which is black).............N IT REALLY WORKS...............so every now n then when i wanna give my a kitchen a 'brand new' look..simply polish with the cleaner.............of course, it works on my hob n backsplash also...............everything so shiny n nice too bad...it doesn't remove the scratches n stains on the kitchen top.....tat requires professional effort.......but sometimes even grinding/professional polishing can't really help..........so those of u with black solid top.............must take extra care........esp. with heat n water marks..........n try the 3M on it.............. !!

MaCe 3 Report post Posted August 31, 2007 go buy a cheapo $1 metal ashtray and put the KBY inside to burn.but pls be careful, the metal ashtray will be very hot while the KBY is burning.I was told after burning - it does leave something on your walls/furnitures When i read online articles about smoking cigarettes - the smokes can enter and stick to your furnitures - i think quite true for the KBY also lor.As all our plates are in the cabinets - no problem burning them in the kitchen. especially when you want to smoke the place under the kitchen cabinets.places to smoke;1) near rubbish chute. regularly.2) under all cabinets.3) toilets (close door and smoke) - regularly.4) store (close door and smoke)5) under sofa,coffee tables,side tables...etc6) under bed7) under staircasetype sandalwood and googlehttp://www.ancient-wisdom-herbs.com/prodde...=Sandalwood-redhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandalwood Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deathcoth 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2007 Compact Fluorescent LightbulbsCommonly referred to as CFLs, compact fluorescent lamps or compact fluorescent lightbulbs have escaped the stereotype of buzzing, flickery, washed-lights to become one of the poster children for consumers taking action in the modern green movement. The bulbs, which can replace incandescent, halogen and other electric lights around your house, use between 60% and 80% less energy than their incandescent counterparts, making them an increasingly popular way to cut energy use without having to make any radical changes, like replace your lighting fixtures or rewire your house, in many cases. In addition to using a fraction of the energy, CFLs have a much longer usable life than incandescents, typically lasting between 6,000 and 15,000 hours, compared to 1,000 hours or so for incandescent bulbs. Recent improvements in technology (more details on that in a sec) have improved both the light quality and versatility of CFLs -- many now emit a more pleasant "soft white" light and work in dimmable and three-way fixtures. All of this adds up to a bulb that can save the user upwards of $30 over its life and save 2000 times its own weight in greenhouse gas emissions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
