    Thank you for the tip!

    Dipping the plastic in Future Floor polish will make the plastic crystal clear and take away any scratches that might be there before you install your windows.

      Tnx Catherine, for mentioning that! Not sure how many will have (or can get) Future Floor Polish, but for those who do, it's a great tip!

      Hai Ilona, dit is waarschijnlijk ook al een oude bekende huishoudtip, maar inderdaad zal niet iedereen het kennen (ik kende het bijv. ook niet tot ik het ontdekte in dat blad). Dank je voor je compliment voor m'n blog, zo leuk om te lezen!

      ja he? je moet er maar opkomen.. zou ik nooit aan gedacht hebben iig ;)
      geen idee of alle merken geschikt zijn, maar ik vermoed van wel (behalve misschien kruidentandpasta's als paradontax, maar wie weet zelfs die wel). ik zou het iig met je eigen tandpasta proberen, in het ergste geval heb je gewoon een heel fris ruikend poppenhuis/roombox oid, haha!
