Dettol vs Sol U Guard ( Melaleuca)

Every Singapore Household would buy dettol, that includes me.  Now I know what's brewing in my home.  Its time to change disinfectant.

Dettol has three main compounds: chloroxylenol, pine oil and castor oil.

Pine oil and castor oil are not considered toxic. But chloroxylenol is poisonous and should not be ingested.

While not considered that toxic to humans (unless swallowed), chloroxylenol does kill fish. Cleaning or washing with it can result in the some of it getting into our rivers and lakes.

It's become popular because it does kill a wide variety of microbes including bacteria, fungi and some superbugs. Natural equivalents would be tea tree oil or neem oil.

The Skin Deep Cosmetic Safety Database ranks chloroxylenol as a mid-range toxic chemical that can cause burning, itching, rash, redness, or swelling. If you experience any of these symptoms you should stop using it immediately.

Melaleuca Melapower, Melabrite and Melasoft Review

MelaPower detergent from Ecosense is 6 times more concentrated than all detergents from NTUC OR COLD STORAGE.  I divide one bottle into 3 bottles and fill them up with water. You just need to use as normal measurement for your laundry. Alternatively, you can just pour 15ml for each full load and mix well with water to disperse it into the washing machine.  You can do the same with the MelaBrite 6x.


MelaBrite 6x is an ultra-concentrated color-safe brightener that is strong and effective, ecologically sensible, non-caustic, safer for your home, and economical. Requiring just a half ounce per load of laundry, MelaBrite 6x still delivers a powerful, proprietary blend of detergents, enzymes, and brighteners to target stains and safely remove them without resorting to toxic or corrosive chemicals—giving you brighter, whiter clothes that look newer and last longer than ever before.   Good for kids white uniforms. :)

MelaSoft is good for towels and bed linen. Its 2x concentration.  One 15ml is good enough to wash a full load of towel together will Melapower and MelaBrite 6x.


Try them and you will see the differences!  

ALL THESE PRODUCTS ARE POWERED BY NATURE, ECO-FRIENDLY AND HIGHLY EFFECTIVE!!

NO PORK NO LARD = HALAL??

I noticed there are food stalls pasting "no pork no lard"  on their stalls in the hope to tell our muslim brothers and sisters "its ok to consume".  That is definitely a misconception on the meaning of halal.


According to the MUIS, 

'No Pork, No Lard' Claims
1.	‘No Pork, No Lard’ - Does this claim mean that the food is Halal?
	Food claims such as 'No Pork, No Lard' do not necessarily imply that the food is truly Halal. Halal food must not contain and/or come into direct contact with non-Halal items. Examples of these include alcohol, pork and meat deriving from sheep which are not slaughtered in accordance with the Islamic Law. As Halal food goes beyond 'No Pork, No Lard', Muis advises Muslim consumers to exercise caution and discretion when patronising eating establishments which display/make such claims.
2.	Is it against the law to display ‘No Pork, No Lard’ signage? Display of such signage is not an offence in Singapore. However, 'No Pork, No Lard' claims can be misleading and should not be treated as an alternative to Halal.  Halal is an Arabic word meaning lawful.  It refers to things or actions permitted by Shariah law without punishment imposed on the doer. It is usually used to describe something that a Muslim is permitted to engage in, e.g. eat, drink or use. As for halal food, there are few categories on how the food is halal, im not going to dwell into the details but to summarize as follow. 3 CRITERIA FOR USE OF THE TERM “HALAL” 3.1 LAWFUL FOOD The term halal may be used for foods which are considered lawful. Under the Islamic Law, all sources of food are lawful except the following sources, including their products and derivatives which are considered unlawful: 3.1.1 Food of Animal Origin (a) Pigs and boars. (b) Dogs, snakes and monkeys. (c) Carnivorous animals with claws and fangs such as lions, tigers, bears and other similar animals. (d) Birds of prey with claws such as eagles, vultures, and other similar birds. (e) Pests such as rats, centipedes, scorpions and other similar animals. (f) Animals forbidden to be killed in Islam i.e., ants, bees and woodpecker birds. (g) Animals which are considered repulsive generally like lice, flies, maggots and other similar animals. (h) Animals that live both on land and in water such as frogs, crocodiles and other similar animals. (i) Mules and domestic donkeys. (j) All poisonous and hazardous aquatic animals. (k) Any other animals not slaughtered according to Islamic Law. (l) Blood. In conclusion,HALAL doesnt mean no pork no lard. If there is meat being used in the food preparation like chicken, beef or mutton, the meat may not be halal.  May Allah swt forgives me if I have made any mistakes in clarifying any doubts on halal foods.
