Washing the Thermomix Jug

The very dirty jug.

Add 1.5L water and add one dollop of washing dish. Set to 6 minutes/Speed 4. In between, set to Reverse and then back to normal position. (If there is no butterfly inside jug, I would set the speed to 6.)

Voila! Clean jug with no excessive scrubbing needed.

Totally Scent Free!

I saw this being sold in Grocer at Starling Mall. I took a whiff and it doesn't have any fragrance. Unfortunately, the price is quite steep: RM15.90 for 500ml.

If you're desperate for something to wash your dishes (or bathrooms) that doesn't smell, you might want to try this.

Product Review (2) - Ecover Washing-Up Liquid

 Today's product review is Ecover washing-up liquid.

Chamomile & Marigold

Lemon & Aloe Vera
(I did not realise that this picture is the product BEFORE the latest ones. The ones I bought do not have FRAGRANCE as in the picture above.)

This is the one I have, the older version.

I have been using these for years now. They are gentle on the hands. The smell is very, VERY faint and that was what caught my attention. It hardly had any smell.

When I first bought this many, MANY years ago, it was only approximately about RM15 for 1 litre. Now it costs RM23+ at many supermarkets and hardware shops. But ACE Hardware is still selling this for RM20+.

*The ingredients are plant-based. They are DI water (deionized water), sodium lauryl sulfate which is derived from plant oil (coconut oil), lauryl/myristyl glucoside which is derived from plant sugars and oils, ethanol which is from fermented plant sugars, sodium chloride (salt), glycerin from vegetable oil, sodium citrate from plant sugars, citric acid derived from fermented plant sugars and T-butyl alcohol which is from fermented plant sugars.

Apparently they have a fragrance-free wash liquid but I've never seen this in Malaysia.

Not only do I use these two for my dishes, I use them for my bathrooms. Yes, I use them to wash the bathrooms! They work very well. 1 litre can last for 9 months! After every wash, the bathrooms do not smell as though they got bombed by chemical-fragrance bombs. And they clean the bathrooms very well. No residue and no smell!

Unfortunately, when I find something suitable, the universe will go all out against me. Products are either discontinued or have their ingredients changed.

The revamped products: IMPROVED FRAGRANCE!

I don't know how strong the scents are. I haven't taken a whiff of the new improved versions. I have not bought the new ones as I still have a lot of the old ones.

I might have to start scouting for new smell-free washing up liquid with reasonable prices.

Verdict: The old version was awesome. No comments/feedback on the new ones.
