devaram Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Is it possible to get Ajax or Comet abrasive bathroom cleaning powders in Chiangmai? All I ever see is noxious liquids like Duck. Anyone know where to buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyL Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 The closest thing you have in Thailand is a cleanser called "Win" or "Vin" sold in the same section as the Duck and other liquid bathroom cleaners. Comes in a white container. The word "Win" is in Thai; not the Thai word for Win, but the Thai letters that spell out the word "Win" I'd post a photo, but I don't have any of the stuff around right now and I'm too lazy to go down to the mini-mart in the condo lobby to buy some. (where's Dave2 when you need him? Oh yeah.....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not VIM, used to use it but got worried it might block the drains,so use liquid now. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its Wim or Vim, depending on whether you want to pronounce the word like a Thai person would. And yes, we have Tops Supermarkets in Chiang Mai and the product is available there.

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Thanks for posting this topic, OP... I'd been wondering the same thing myself for a long time, but hadn't gotten around to asking... Meanwhile, I've been carrying a container or containers of Comet back with me every time I return from the States... For those who have used Vim/Wim, is is pretty much equivalent to Comet or Ajax? My Thai wife uses the liquid Duck stuff in her bathroom cleaning, but I find the smell really annoying and have told her to keep it out of my bathroom...

Vim/Wim doesn't seem to have the "horsepower" of Comet/Ajax, but it doesn't have the chlorine smell that they do either. Why not buy some and try it out? Better things to bring back in your luggage than bathroom cleaner! The main attractiveness of Duck is the low cost. Some of the other, more expensive liquid bathroom cleaners available here do a better job and smell better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grin Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 It's funny but a few years back I brought a few of those yellow plastic containers of Comet with the green top back from the US. As these containers are full of powder I didn't bother storing them in a cool dry place. Now the containers have split open at the bottom, even the one that was opened and half full. Easy enough to fix with plastic bags and rubber bands but even those will deteriorate over time as well. Comet does cake up here but a good shake or two frees enough powder on top for a quick cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
