A book of matches works great.

I think they don't know whether this is a washer or a dryer, hence the 'washer/drier' listing.

Its three pieces that can be taken apart? I've already taken the dispenser off the agitator and run it through the dishwasher. But you can actually take the 3 pieces apart to clean it?

Why do all of the patent descriptions refer to "cleansing fluid" instead of saying detergent and water"? Were their inventions meant to be used in dry cleaning as well as home laundry?

Does anyone have the link to the chemistry store. I found www.chemistrystore.com but I can't find STTP on that site.

I've heard to death all about low-sudsing detergents and I'd like to know, which detergents are still high-sudsing?
