Oh, i didn't see your post amass... Maybe i shouldn't. Decisions!! :)

Ok after much debate, I convinced my husband to get a speed queen top loader. :) I just had it installed today. I hope it lasts a very long time! Thanks for your help.

Ok, you guys convinced me :) Alright. I am going to try it. Mama, would you like me to send you some? You know you want some :)

I found Ariel pods at my local Walmart. They look identical to tide pods. Anyone use them? Do they do a good job? Also, and possibly more importantly, do they smell like tide pods? I can't stand the smell of the tide pods, but if these smell different I would like to try them. Thanks for...

We need a new front load washing machine, between the $600-800 range. Any suggestions? Any brand favorites? I don't need a zillion features. Just something simple and reliable. For the record, I had an LG that bit the dust after 2.5 years. It gave us horrible water hammer, so we would like...

My daughter keeps coming home with stains on her pants from black dry erase markers. They are driving me crazy! I can NOT get the stains out. Have tried alcohol, shout, nail polish remover, dry erase marker remover/dry erase board cleaner, and nothing has budged them. Has anyone had luck...

I keep reading about so many people using STPP in their laundry, and I am curious what it is all about. What does it do when you add it to your laundry? Does it only work in certain temperatures? Does it only work on whites? Will it fade colors? What happens if you overdose it? Will it...

I was relieved to see other comments saying that their front loader caused excessive wear on their clothing. I feel the same way. My LG front loader is very rough on my clothing. Don't even get me started on the water hammer. As soon as this machine dies, I am buying an old school top loader.

Stan The red knobs in your kitchen really make me smile. I like the door knob on the door and the table is so charming!!! Love that cheerful kitchen.

Thanks everyone for all the input. I was very curious about how these detergents worked vs mainstream detergents. I have heard so many conflicting things about these detergents, but more often then not I hear things similar to what lordkenmore said (Tide price, no where near as good as Tide).

What's the scoop with "green" detergents? I have been very curious about Seventh Generation Ultra Plus, Clorox Green Works, Ecos, Method, etc. Anyone try these? Are they any good at stain removal?

Just curious what detergent is the worst, in your opinion. :)

Joey, how does it do on various stains? Does it need a lot of help?

This is really interesting to me, I guess I always assumed everyone used dryer sheets. (Very silly, I know) :) Ok, let me ask a different question then. How do you all control static in clothing? We have allergies and asthma in the family, so line drying is a no-go. We use the dryer, but the...

We use dryer sheets, usually Bounce Free sheets. Anyone else use sheets? What brands and scents do you like? We mainly use them for static control and light softening. Thinking about trying something new. I am not unhappy with Bounce, just curious about the other options.
