Shower Shield
Thai glass shower enclosures look wonderful but readily streak with limescale and soap. My first act in the search for problem solution was to buy a squeegee at Thailand's Central Chitlom, and wipe down after every shower occasionally after wiping with a soapy sponge.
I had notices HG products in Thailand's Home Pro imported from The Netherlands. They make big claims and are a big price. In splurge mood I bought their Shower Shield - prevents lime scale and dirt for glass, chrome, synthetic materials, aluminium and tiles.
Eureka - it works excellently and the label says it lasts for many months with an easier regular clean. The 250 ml bottle looks enough for 3 applications for about 420 baht.
I remember once admiring a Thai ex-pat friends lavish new bathroom. I asked " but don't you find it a pain keeping the glass clean?" quick as a flash he replied " I have no idea, would you like to ask the cleaning woman?"

Det Thai Sweetener
I have been concerned for some time about the amount of Aspartame sweetener that I take with diet drinks and Equal in beverages. There seem to be too many reports that is has toxic properties.
I tried this new one Det which is made in Thailand. It is granular and very sweet, maybe 3 times sugar, and much more like sugar than anything else I have used. It is 98.6% Erythritol and 1.4% Sucralose. According t Wikipedia Erythritol is no worry and Sucralose may be a tad but here it is only present in a small dose. It is granular though pills are supposed to be out soon. I got it from Fascina the huge Pharmacy on Pattaya North Road by Thai House and City Hall. It's about 150 baht for a 90 gm tub or a bit more for sachets.
I wonder if adding the Thai sweetener will save me from banishment?
