Let us Recycle together! Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

 

Do we need to do spring cleaning once a year only? Many of us normally would have a yearly spring cleaning, but some people will always clear whenever they want to.

But before we take out the black garbage bag and start to dump whatever we do not need anymore, why not let us look at places whereby some centers can collect our unwanted stuff and turn to something more meaningful?

In fact there are many more recycle centers out there and sometimes we do see a lot of recycle boxes placed at the road side whereby people throw stuffs and abuse them. These people treats them like a dumpsite and throw anything in the boxes which is totally unacceptable. Think about how the volunteers need to sort out those 'donations' and only to find out a lot of them are not in good condition. We need to put ourselves in others shoes, how do you feel if you are the volunteer?

During this MCO or CMCO period, kindly find out if these centers have any change of time or collection point. Please based on their link and find out more if you need them.

Concept of Facebook "I like you, you like me"

When we approach vendors to advertise with us for Zero Cost , we get a lot of funny responses. Why do you do this? What is the strategy behind? Are you sure it is free? Is there something behind? Is it just another cheating online stuff?

How many times you see random people in Facebook posting : "Learn how to make 5 figures in a week?'' "How to make money in a week?" 👎

What about story that some random person's goods stuck at custom and need help to release. This X will call or email to Y saying it is urgent and all they have to do is 'help' him with a small amount of money (which compare with the actual goods, the price seem small) So X decided to transfer money to Y thinking by doing so, he will get the stocks which he can sell later with a huge profit.👎

Then stories of receiving email saying that someone have inheritance and need help? X send email to Y saying he has some inheritance which he need someone to assist him to retrieve and promise that he will share 50% with him?👎

There are endless type of scams online and all these are huge money.

But for us PitpitHome is different. We are giving you Zero Cost advertising for real.

Facebook let all of us to 'I like you, you like me' concept and for those looking for business in Facebook is free too. Did you ever question why you join Facebook is free and you can create groups to look for business which is free too?👍

We are doing 'You help me, I help you'. We provide a website for you to advertise and you help us by coming in to advertise' It is that simple.

So come and join us now and let all of us enter a very good 2021.

Schools are closed, offices and shops are closed. We are not encouraged to go around to shopping centers, malls, children's park, entertainment outlets, or sit in cafe to have a cuppa.   

The world is changing and buying habits changed too. Many bricks and mortar businesses failed and those that cannot survive has closed. While some may just close certain branches, some closed totally like Robinson's in Malaysia and Singapore.

6 different types of kitchen top , which one shall I choose?

 

In many homes, people spend a lot of time in the kitchen, preparing victuals to sustain them throughout the day. More so when they have a family to feed. In these homes, a kitchen with a high-quality kitchen counter is really necessary since that is where food is prepped for cooking and eating. Especially so in Malaysian homes, where the usage of highly stainable food such as turmeric and soy sauce, and the use of the mortar and pestle to prep food for cooking calls for kitchen countertops that are made of durable material that is easily cleaned and maintained. In this article, we will highlight the 6 most commonly used material for Malaysian kitchen countertops, and the pros and cons of each.  

1. Solid Surface

Solid surface countertops are usually made of acrylic or polyester with fillers and are designed in such a way that they can resemble other materials yet cost a fraction of the price. Acrylic can be moulded in a huge variety of designs and colours. They are among the most popular choices for countertops as they are not too expensive and require little maintenance. Although scratched, this is easily taken care of by buffing and sanding out the marks. The material is also non-porous, ideal for food prep as the risk of harbouring bacteria that cause food contamination is low. 

 

 

 

2. Marble

The natural marble countertop is quite popularly used as kitchen countertops due to its heat resistance. This material is available in many colours and no two countertops have the exact same pattern. However, marble is not as durable a granite, as it is a soft and porous material, and easily scratched up. Spills also can result in stains if not cleaned up quickly enough. It thus has to be sealed often to avoid damages to the surface. 

 

3. Quartz

Quarts countertops are human cultured which combine natural quartz stone with a variety of materials such as resin, broken granite, marble, or glass. This is the most expensive countertop material on this list but due to its premium quality, it is worth investing in. Its durability is increased due to its non-porous nature, being highly heat and scratch resistant. The fact that quartz is manufactured means that it can be customized to imitate any style, including granite and marble. Its durability is increased due to its non-porous nature, being highly scratch resistant, and thus doesn’t need to be re-sealed as often as granite and marble There are also many colours and styles to suit different tastes. 

 

4. Granite

Granite is one of the most common countertop materials and is very solid and durable. Granite is natural stone; like marble, no two countertops will look the same. Granite can withstand extremely high temperatures, and quite hard to crack or scratch. The colour options, however, are quite limited, and it needs to be maintained by using sealant. It is also cheaper than marble or quartz.

 

5. Solid Wood

Wood countertops are popular with homes that are going for the warm, rustic, cottage-style look, and easily matched with any design. Like marble and granite, wood also has a natural vein pattern, so every wood countertop is unique. However, wood can be expensive as it is a rarer commodity than stone. The regular wear and tear do not show up as obviously on wood. However, it needs regular maintenance and needs to be sealed, as it can easily acquire damage from heat, water, and corrosive substances. 

 

6. HPL High Pressure Laminate

This material is able to mimic the style and texture of other materials. There are many layers and it consists of plywood being encased in a layer of plastic resin where the designs are printed. The material is easy to maintain and durable and is the cheapest material on this list. It is easy to clean but great care needs to be taken as damage from scratches, cracks, and heat cannot be repaired. Always remember to dry up the table top in case the water sipped into the surface and long term is not advisable.
