Not all cheap stuff aint good lor!

Another product review here after the previous one on super broom 918.. (Again I 'm not receiving any commission or revenue for it hah!)

This time it's the TESCO antibacterial multi-surface cleaner.



Why I like this product:

1) First of all the fragrance is very pleasant (unlike most antiseptic agent like DETTOL which has very strong "Medicated" smell).
2) Easy to spray
3) Leaves surface clean and smells great without having to rinse.
4) More affordable than other anti-bacterial brand (price between RM6-7 depending on offer)...oops mistake just found out today(11.9.0) when I went to TESCO, that it's only RM3.90..even cheaper still.]
5) It supposedly can kill 99.99% germs(not very sure of this though!)

I use it to clean the surface of my cupboards, doors, sink top, fridge, TV , door knobs, etc.

Recently without maid I find my house is unavoidably messy with 4 kids around but it's cleaner than when my maid is around. I sweep everyday, I mop alternate days and sometimes everyday when I can't stand the stickyness and dust on the floor. I wipe windows and fan once a month. Change bedsheet and curtain once a month or when necessary. All this my maid didn't even do consistently when she was around as we didn't want to tax her too much thinking that she has to manage the household and the kids. Looks like mommy now is doing a better job than Kakak. Who says we can't live without a maid? Mommy have got us- twins 9 yrs and girls 4 and 3 yrs to help her out and also got daddy to iron clothes on weekends. Mommy we will stand by you!

This is our SIGNATURE kitchen set which mommy won 1st Prize from Johnson and Johnson "MY FAVOURITE BONDING MOMENTS" contest. It was worth RM10K. When the carpenter came he told it actually worth RM8K only. This was back in year 2004 when Juliana was born. Lucky baby brought luck for mommy.


So you can imagine after 4 yrs lots of dust has accumulated needs wiping. So the Antibacterial Multi surface cleaner is very handy to mommy.

Can you see the microwave on the left side? That also needs wiping from time to time inside and outside. This microwave also has sentimental value as mommy won it as the 9th to 2oth prize from Cuddles Puppywink Mom's choice contest in the year 2005 when she was pregnant with Jasmine..Another lucky baby who brought luck to mommy. The condition is still good . The best thing with this Samsung 28L microwave is it came with a radio function and can record voice.



The fridge beside this kitchen set is TOSHIBA 2Door 370L model won by mommy in the KAO 30th anniversary contest.


This fridge is 5 years old now. Still standing tall. Mommy use to keep all her breastsmilk in the side freezer compartment for all 4 of us. Emmmm another sentimental asset....that also needs thorough cleaning and wiping now.

Anyway here is the broom review:

The next time you are looking for a broom or think of changing the useless one (always dropping out), try this one:



It's 918..yah make sure you buy this genuine brand 918. What's so good about it:

1) Very hardy and lasting ....Will last you for years (at least a year).

2) Has the end that can trap dust and hair by grouping them with rough end bristles . The trapped dust and hair can be easily pull out with bare hands or just simple rub it against grass surface.

Really IDEAL for sweeping your carpet. No need to vaccum so marfan! my house got 3 carpet. All sweep clean just with this fantastic broom.

3) The price?? Of course more expensive than the RM2 ringgit shop or TESCO promotion
onelah!
I saw a few places selling for different prices which range from RM5 -RM8 .
I got it for RM5 only.

4) Comes in various colours...grey(silver), golden yellow, red, green, etc.
I chose red.."ong" (good luck)!

So what are you waiting for..go grab your 918 broom now.
