Benefits of a maid uniform

Functionality is the primary purpose of a uniform for domestic help.


1) Regardless of any profession, wearing the proper work attire is essential for career success, especially for domestic help. Neat and comfortable clothing makes a difference in the manner and speed in which an employee works and/or carries herself.

2) If you want your maid to be noticed as a maid during parties, sessions or crowded areas, it is important that she looks like one. You may feel slightly embarrassed to admit this, but face the fact that you would like your maid to look good .... but AS A MAID!

3) Studies have shown that maids who wear uniforms report a considerable increase in self-confidence -- uniforms provide dignity and shows that as an employer you care about her and her attire. Never ask a maid to wear cast-me-down clothes.... it brings down morale and saps all motivation to continue serving the family as best as possible.

4) Choose dark-coloured uniforms for occasions where your maid is required to attend or serve adults. Darker colours are formal, no-nonsense and helps the staff blend into the background when service is finished.

5) Choose light-coloured, pastel or white uniforms for nannies or maids dedicated to minding children. Lighter colours are not so severe. In addition, it will be easier for the child to spot the maid in crowded parties, especially when the maid is wearing an extraordinary shade (ie check out our new colours turquoise, pink and cobalt blue).

Ban on BPA milk bottles

The Star, 15 March 2011

PUTRAJAYA: Polycarbonate infant milk bottles containing the chemical Bisphenol A (BPA) will be outlawed from March 1 next year.

Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said the Cabinet had decided to ban such milk bottles due to BPA’s risk to infant hormone systems.

“The enforcement will be made in stages and the industry is given one year to comply with the decision by making changes to their machines and buying new raw materials,” he told a press conference yesterday.

Liow urged parents and guardians of infants and children to make the switch now to bottles marked “BPA-free” which were widely available in the local market.

He said the decision for the ban was made as there was no scientific evidence which proved that BPA bottles were safe for use by high-risk groups namely infants and children.

“This action was taken in case BPA could definitely affect the hormone and other body function systems,” he said.

Enforcement against retailers selling milk bottles containing BPA will start from March 1 next year.

Liow said the move was in line with the World Health Organisation’s recommendations, adding that the European Union (EU) had made a similar announcement earlier this month to make the ban effective in June for EU-member countries.

Spot the difference: Model Nisa Kasnoon showing a polypropylene feeding bottle (left) and a polycarbonate one that contains BPA at the Health Ministry in Putrajaya yesterday.

Other countries that have banned the chemical in milk bottles include Germany, France, Denmark, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the state of New York in the United States.

BPA is used in polycarbonate to make baby milk bottles because it made the plastic translucent and stiffer while those without BPA had a less clear and dirtier look.
