I have no clue how to respond to this. Lol. I like things clean I suppose? Also ours is in connecting passage between bedrooms and kitchen/bath. It’s an open type space which is cleaned regularly. And when you have a old open like house, you know big arse windows open almost the whole day, well, you get dust.
Bathroom imo is one of the most practical places for a WM. Unfortunately I don’t want to replace it as it will involve some plubming and sh!te.
Rats and other things like cockroach don’t bother me that much. I mean I am obsessed with these things. So a rat enters our house (happened two days ago ironically), and it exists dead the next day. A typical hygiene obsessive here but no matter what lizards I cannot control.
Dont keep open any windows from the garden side so that rats climb the pipes and enter the kitchen. This is what happened in my house. Rats in my house if seen my wife immediately kills it. Coackroaches arent there here in TN where I live but in Hyderabad where ever we used to shift we used to call pest control.
But there is a huge problem of lizards in my house. There are I think about 20 lizards in my house even though my wife kills them as she sees the. They are producing in a great rate.
I dont know what to use either to kill them or reduce their numbers in the house.
But frogs here are many as do snakes as we live in a rural environment but in a township. We didnt have any snake problem until now but frogs comes through the washbasin holes & commode holes by through them and emerge and these frogs jump super height with having wide webbed feet not like the normal frogs we see but all are green in colour and small like the size of a 1Rupee coin.
So when ever we see or find them sitting on top of the basins and commodes we catch them and release them in our gardens.
I tell my wife to similarly catch the lizards and throw them away in the garden but she doesnt listen.
There is traditional wisdom that keeping peacock feathers in the home scares away the lizards. I could never test it because lizards didn’t visit consistently anywhere I lived. Anyone here tried that? Does it work?
) where noise was coming from machine during start. It went away after a hot water tub clean using a descaler. Now no noise. Very silent in all wash programs. I guess it helps to descale the machine every 2-3 months.
I have both. I put one packet of the top one and a tablet of the second one because it has some citric acid in it. The second one i mostly use to clean my bathroom and toilet cistern now. Both are quite effective.
We’ve discussed this one already. A two in one product. As an alternative I prefer to DIY with citric acid and floor cleaning Lizol. More bang for the buck as well.
This is a fake or ineffective product going by the price difference of it here vs the US. It cannot be compared with its equivalent being sold abroad (genuine).
Yeah, wondering if its even good enough for that.
Liquid Harpic contains hydrochloric acid. Works as a quick acting descaler because its quite strong and so is only safe to use on ceramic. Definitely not on marble and certainly not your machine unless you want to permanently tarnish the shine of your steel drum :bored:
I put it in extremely hot water (about 1 liter) and put that solution in the cistern tank. The tank was brown with a mud coating after 3 months of not cleaning it, and 2 hours after putting the solution the mud dissolved after to a mild brown coating. I’ve used it 2 times till now and its effective. If it was fake, I wouldn’t suggest or use it. Btw, it fizzes up into millions of bubbles only in boiling water. People probably use it in cold water and expect it to work and it wont activate because its citric acid and some detergent two in one tablet.
eg. with citric acid I notice the fizz is instantaneous and short lived.
With percarbonate or Vanish it’s slower and the fizz lasts longer.
Citric acid and detergent will act against each other and not be as effective.
You don’t need hot water with citric acid but its faster acting if it is in hot water. Otherwise in colder temperatures you need time. Think overnight to soak with a few minutes agitation to dissolve and cycle restarted the next day or post 24 hours and complete the cycle.
hey brother, i am in the market for a dryer/washer combo.. and i with lots of research i have found LG FHD1107STB on amazon perfect for my ageing parents. Please let me know hows your experience with your new machine.
forgot to add.. our water is pretty hard. how much i don’t know. but it has lots of iron in it. Do you think i will need an water softener for the machine.
Yes i am also looking at the same exact model. on amazon its 10k cheaper.
What difference is there between a 10kg front loader and a 7kg one?
I think only the motor is a bit more powerful. And maybe bearing are better. What else?
The machine is the same size, and so is the tub. It’s not like one can put more clothes in 10kg model as compared to 7kg.
My 7 kg machine realistically can wash 3-4 kg of clothes (not talking heavy bedding). If I stuff more clothes, the washing time increases and/or quality goes down. How much I can wash is not limited by the KGs mentioned by the maker but by the volume of the tub.
Let’s take one example of Tata punch car. The maker claims that it can fit 5 adults. But realistically, only 4 can be comfortable. Let’s say I put Tata Safari’s engine into the Punch. Does the punch now suddenly accommodate 7 adults?
