hnstly i have been searching half the norwegian internet like local stores and they don't have anything like except tiny forms and those weird ass silicone ones without handles

the ones I found were on amazon from chinese shops that all used the same three pictures, so honestly difficult to gauge how much of that is real anyways, but maybe you can reverse engineer some pictures to find more credible sources?
I feel like those popsicle molds are also very much trend based, like either people are really into making popsicles and you can find them on every corner or people just completely forget what frozen treats even are

i am a popsicle person without popsicle molds because idk i wanna eat berries but not as smoothies but ice cream bc smoothies suck #thoughtprocesscomplete

honestly, valid...

I started buying these smoothies that come in amazing glass bottles because I love the bottles so much for everything (they're amazing for iced tea or coffe on the go and I also use them for my salad dressings and when making sauces in general) so I had more of them in stock and now I found out the brand that makes them has a store where they sell for rather cheap (compared to other places) different screwtops to repurpose the bottles and I'm not a little bit in love

have you maybe tried looking on etsy? there's a bunch of weird resellers there too, but maybe you can find something based in norway that way? (I can't check because etsy is one of those geo-locating messes... and I seriously struggle to get it to show me things that aren't in germany)

that's just ... ok that's so not cool of you norwegians to be this much of hermits ... how can I get there as fast as possible???

but yeah, I also agree on the not food safe silicone thing
it's the only reason I don't have any silicone things in my home, because I trust them even less than some of the plastics

oh, yeah, the water stains you mean? you basically have to wipe them dry if you want those to be gone and then polish it
but honestly, since it's mostly just a visual thing, I don't really care about that

omg, this is just my dream
I've been saving a whole bunch of products in a wishlist for when I finally move out and am able to fully build my own kitchen and let me tell you, it will be magical
if it ever comes to this and VP is still around, I'll probably take everyone else on the marvellous journey that stocking a kitchen is
because gosh, this is basically porn to me

my brain right now:
- washing tools for kitchen and bathroom (detergents, tools. how many do I need like do I really need detergents for every room, can I just DIY it or will I not. how many cloths do I need and like kitchen towels)
- how to store food (containers but plastic, no plastic lid? metal? glass? plastic?)
- if i'm gonna do some more w my compost or not (originally i was trying to do a no-dig bed, but it isn't working out so it might be a "i will dig bed" instead)
- i need sunscreen but mineral or chemical, plastic, metal tin or paper packaging?
- i need a new duvet and probably a madrass for when I move out --> do i pick the local one that let me clean it and fix it when it gets old w dove from a old, local company? or without dove w none of that?
- and i probably need a towel or two as well
- and all the other minor details i have not thought about yet
*screech*

I usually wipe down crumbs to the floor and then vacuum, yes
but then every time I do the dishes (which is daily since no washing machine), I wipe the countertop and stovetop with a wet sponge tissue (? - these here, it's in German but I'm sure you can find comparable things in Norway). You can throw them in the washing machine with your tea towels. I usually use them in the kitchen until they start looking a bit gross (because after about 10 washes they start to be discoloured a bit or start breaking because I hang them over the sink to dry. Then I just use them to clean in the bathroom.

Also once a week I completely scrub down the cooking surface and kitchensink with an all-purpose cleaner

Bathroom I also mostly just vacuum the floor and then do the appliances and such once a week (like sink, shower, toilet) with a citrus cleaner because of the limescale.

Once a month, I mop my apartment and also clean like the mirror in the bathroom and descale the shower door.
Also, for dusting I use one of those microfiber dusting cloths. they are amazing for quick dusting in between (I do that every couple of days, just giving the broad surfaces a wipe) You can use them a couple of times, just beat the dust out of them outside and you can use them for a few weeks before throwing them in the washer. They lose their fluffyness after a few cycles, but they still work perfectly

I realise microfibre might not be the best because of the whole microplastic thing
but honestly, so far it seems the best I can find, because a lot of the cotton based towels just don't clean as well
though I have to say, I really only use them for cleaning and dusting, so I feel like my 4 microfibre tissues really aren't that big of an issue on the big scale

oh and I also recently invested into a silicone "sponge" and I like it, definitely better than the dish brush I was using before
