@peachpurple Do you mean the garbage collectors used to go to your housing area only once a week? Has it been like that always? It is always 3 times a week here – Monday, Wednesday and Friday, even in my home town (Ipoh) when I was young.

Here in our country had just started to educate citizens to separate trash into different categories.

Now, twice a week, the garbage truck will collect wet waste trash while once a week collect dry trash such as recycle items ( plastic, polyform, cardbox, glass, tin cans, broken flower pots,…[Read more]

We do not have Garbage separation at House level, but in some Indian cities this has been started on a pilot basis, and it will take time to get going at a bigger level.

We sort out that which can be handed over to garbage collectors which is mostly solid waste, such as plastic bags.  The wet garbage mainly kitchen waste, weeds and twigs are dumped in compost pits.

I have also used solid waste such as broken glass, stones, crockery, plastic bags as filler for foundations for garden artifacts.

Separation of garbage is the best way to clear your bins. it’s good to separate the garbage that way it’s easy to burn what needs to be burnt, use the left overs as manure if you have a small garden you could use it there. and the rest goes where it should go.

De-cluttering has been like a hobby in my house surely, and I feel so tired some times. anyway I get to de-clutter when I feel the house is too full, and when I do I really go all the way. it would take me like a year to start that work because I will have to go around the house check what I don’t want, go to my wardrobe remove the clothes and…[Read more]

I always…[Read more]

@peachpurple, that is nice peach, you can truly save. I will want to apply it , I’ll share it to my sister.This way we can save our few pesos at home.

We use chlorox at home in cleaning our tiles in the kitchen even in the toilet. Sometimes we use Mr. Muscle.After cleaning with chlorox, I pour the sink with hot water.

Nope, I don;t use any clenaing products.

Just wet the kitchen towel, squeeze out the excess water and wipe 2-3 times until all the stains are off the kitchen equipment and fridge.

If you use cleaning products, it will leave the smell onto the items.

hence, plain water tap is the best solution for me.

I even mopped the floor with water tap , no…[Read more]
