Just To Show How Much I Loved It

A few weeks ago I was telling my maid to clean the house more properly because there were some areas in which she did not pay enough attention to and left them dusty and dirty.

Now she overcompensated her lacking by cleaning everything in the house using wet towels, including my room. This would have been perfectly fine, except that she somewhat decided to sweep through the top of my laptop with the same wet towel – which she had used to clean many other things before.

She probably didn’t think this would do any harm, but naturally a wet dirty towel would leave a mark on my milky white Fujitsu, and this I found not to my liking. The markings would not come off, even though I had used a fiber-cloth which had worked on many other stubborn stains before, which was the last solution after the wet tissue and napkin worked to no avail. I dare not using any agents that I could find around the house because – hello – it is a white-colored surface material and what if it would only make things worse?

For those who didn’t know, might I reinform you that I had to part with my hard-earned cash to purchase this laptop, and to find it sullied by something so simple and yet so destructive rendered me absolutely hysterical. Sulking and cursing over how unbelievably stupid my maid was, I decided to vent off the anger by hitting the shops. So I dragged my boyfriend along and when we passed Ace Hardware, I suddenly made a sharp turn and went straight in – in hoping that somewhere between the tall racks displaying arrays of cleaning agents, would be a perfect solution to my sodding-stained laptop.

My boyfriend approached one of the shop assistants and kindly explained our situation, in which she reassuredly led us to a small display which had sponges, foams and fiber cloths hung on display. She took a small package containing somewhat insignificant looking white sponge and claimed that by using water only, this sponge could wipe clean even the most stubborn stain like paint sprays and ink. She even offered a demonstration, and we obliged for one immediately.

The demo proved to impress us nevertheless, so we decided to give it a try. And guess what? It works. It really, bloody works. All I have to do is cut a tiny bit off the sponge, wet it with water, and brush the stain with it and the markings easily comes off – leaving my laptop back to its sparkling milky white glamour. I felt like I had been given second chance to reincarnate back from death – or something as equally dramatic.

It’s unbelievable what technology can do these days, and they are getting much more environmentally-friendly, which is something I strongly approve.

On a different topic – my car has been fixed (earlier than I expected!) and it’s now parked back in inside the house. All the ruined bits and wreckage have gone, and now it looks as good as new.

Halleluiah!
