Sabco Microfingers Mini Duster (Green)

This is a good duster. It's structure and handle are made of sturdy plastic, while the head is velvety soft and dusts beautifully, especially at-reach wide surfaces (tables, beside tables, consoles, shelves). Ain't sure why is called 'mini' because I'd say the head is quite large, and certainly larger than my old one.  What is mini (meaning short) is the handle, so ain't able to reach lamps, the top of my blinds or high surfaces unless I use a chair or a stool.  It gets the dust out easily and I wash it under running water with average household soap and, when dry, it looks like new. I can wash it because the head is a sort of glove that I can get on/off. I wish  it had a Velcro closure to make the removal a bit easier, but it's not difficult at all. I love the brand and having all my cleaning products in this bright green. Good value for money, too.

Generic 30-cm Power Extension Lead Cord Australian AU/ 3-Pin Plug Black

This is one of the shortest extension cords I could find in the market. It is made of sturdy plastic and the lead it's 23 cm long but it's 30 cm in total. I've had it for a week or so, so no complaints so far. It's perfect for what I wanted it, which is to adjust a bulky laptop adapter flat into a cable organisation box without having excess cord bulking up the box insides. It serves the purpose beautifully.  On the other hand, I would have loved the cord being 30 cm plus the plugs length as this would have made it ideal for the purpose mentioned above and for any other future uses. l. For the rest, it's a bit pricey for what it is, but it is a rare type of cable and I can use it for many purposes, so there you have it.

HPM Household Duty Piggy Back Extension Lead White 1m

Nothing fancy or out there about this cable, just a sturdy 1-metre extension cord. It has a piggyback on the plug itself, which I won't use, but it comes handy if I needed to. This one-metre lead is perfect for my needs and replaces a longer cable that had become a hassle on my floor. So far so good. If I had any issues, I would update my review.   

 

Update 5/9/23

I didn't think I'd use the piggyback, but I have, and it is so convenient, when I want to plug something that is just for a little while while the main cable of my computer, for example, is always plugged. More utilities that I thought I would give it. Very pleased with it.

Luxor Cotton Terry Fully-Fitted Waterproof Mattress Protector

I've been using this protector for several months now. It is really good quality, light and fits my mattress perfectly. Before purchasing it, I feared that the waterproof part would be very plasticky and very noisy when rolling on the bed, but I was mistaken. It slightly noisy, barely noticeable, way-way less than other waterproof protectors I've used in the past and it doesn't make me sweat. The plastic part feels almost like fabric on touch.  I wash this in my washing machine on a normal every-day setting, high-revolution spinning, and it comes out as new, no deterioration at all so far. Good value for money, too.  Sometimes the photos on a product page are misleading or better than the original, but, in these case, they reflect the texture of the protector and how it fits my bed. I haven't had any liquid spillage happening on this protector, so  I cannot comment on its level of impermeability.
