The sponges are gentle enough to use on glass ceramic, stainless steel, aluminium, ceramic, melamine (Formica), tiles, wood, chrome and fiberglass. For non-scientists, this means that while the sponges feel like normal sponges, they actually work like super-super-fine sandpaper, getting into tiny grooves of the object you’re cleaning.Īre these the “magic erasers” that cleaning experts talk about?īut while you can pick them up in supermarkets for AU$4.40 for a pack of 8 mini-blocks, at DAISO you’ll pay just AU$2.80 for so many more! Melamine sponges are made of melamine foam, which is made up of formaldehyde-melamine-sodium bisulfite copolymer. Warning: Once you start using them, you may want to clean everything! They’re everything you want in a cleaning product – cheap, easy to use (forget the elbow grease), gentle on your surfaces and eco-friendly. Forgiveness is good for them AND for you.These melamine sponges aren’t quite as cute as others you’ve seen at DAISO, but they have cleaning superpowers to champion those scuff marks on your floorboards and marks on your shoe rubber that no other sponge can conquer – AND there’s no need to use harsh synthetic chemical cleaners! All you need is good old-fashioned tap water. This can happen some time after the original apology, but the sooner the better.
Be willing to discuss different options.ĥ. If you feel it is insufficient, you can offer suggestions. Acknowledge their plan (if they offered one). If you had to clarify, give them a chance to amend their apology.Ĥ. I want to clarify that what upset me was when you _.”ģ. Clarify if what they apologized for wasn’t what you need an apology for. Even if you think what they’re apologizing for isn’t that big of a deal, they feel guilty, so dismissing it makes things worse.Ģ. It doesn’t make them feel better, and now you’ve set the precedent that the behavior is okay. Steps to RECEIVING an apology (did you know there were rules for this too?!?)įirst, DON’T just say “it’s okay” or “no worries”. “I hope you’ll forgive me, but it’s okay if you don’t want to/aren’t able to right now.” Or maybe if you said something you regret saying, plan to take time to think before speaking (which is a good rule in general)īonus step (optional): If you want to ask for forgiveness explicitly, be sure to leave them an out if they’re not ready to forgive. Like if you hurt your friend while you were really drunk, plan to limit your drinking. Instead, make a plan to avoid similar behavior in the future. We are imperfect human beings, and you WILL mess up again. Saying you won’t do it again (or worse, that you’ll try) is insufficient. State what you will do to make it right AND/OR how you will avoid doing the same thing in the future. Actually apologize for it (I’m sorry I did _, that was a wrong/inexcusable/really crappy thing to do.)ģ. State objectively what you did wrong (not “I hurt your feelings,” but “I said something that was rude and uncalled for”)Ģ. Steps to a proper apology (because nobody actually teaches you this ever):ġ.
