    I finally tried Great Value (Walmart) Dishwasher pods (wow!)

    The only thing I don't like is the tub. You have to physically pull the tub out, rip the top off to get a pod...

    I honestly don't know. It gets the dishes really clean though. The ingredients say it has a fragrance, but it's VERY muted and definitely no smell at all at the end

    It has enzymes and I think somewhere it also has peroxide in it or something. The ingredients list were much like the kirkland pods but slightly different.

    No. Quantum. At least that's what they have at Costco and on their website. It used to be blue packaging but now it's black packaging. I was reading through the reviews and although a lot of them are good, a few of them caught my eye. One user said they used to Like Finish and tried Kirkland and...

    They clean really well, but I think these great value pac's are slightly better. I was shocked because they look identical. I thought it was the same thing, just repackaged. But it's not.

    No No... I'm talking about the regular great value dishwasher pac's. Not the gel. Even though they're scented, they leave zero smell behind and clean well. My issue with the kirkland is that the scent doesn't completely break down. it's slightly still there at the end. I was also reading reviews...

    So I'm almost out of my Kirkland Costco pods and I although they work fine, they are too scented. So with me getting almost done with this last batch, I'm not going to be buying more of the Kirkland. Honestly, I was just going to start using Cascade or Finish again. However, while in walmart, I...

    I think I RUINED my laptop

    Yea - Honestly, I think I did something taking it off because that cover was EXTREMELY difficult to get off and I probably shorted something out. It was heavily used the 3 years I had it. I ended up getting a brand new Ideapad, 15.6, 11th gen i3, SSD, 24 gigs ram, windows 11 for $350 and it...

    Cigarette Stale OLD smell on comforter not coming out in wash

    I think I did use too little detergent. Something in me said to use more but I haven't dealt with cig smoke so I had no clue how to deal with it. I guess I could have googled it but my first thought was to come here first... I wasn't sure about bleach because that almost NEVER lets you down...

    Cigarette Stale OLD smell on comforter not coming out in wash

    OK, Got back with a comforter someone gave me... It was never used but opened to be looked at and it just laid there in a room for a couple of years of someone who smoked. That thing REEKED of not fresh cig smoke, but STALE OLD built up smoke... So I ran it through the washer on a soak cycle...

    Speed Queen TR washers

    I recall they did decently on thin items... it was anything puffy or thick that it was absolutely horrible with. Didn't move in the least. What was on top stayed on top, what was on the bottom stayed on the bottom.. and this was NOT overloaded either. It was like a regular load of jeans. Again...

    8 Reasons Using Liquid Detergent Is Better

    I barely use any FS either... Most of the time I find I don't use it...even if it's a small bottle it takes forever. I can totally do without it.

    8 Reasons Using Liquid Detergent Is Better

    It takes me YEARS to go through a bottle of fabric softener because I use so little of it...and I've never seen it curdle

    GE UltraFresh Vent System actually works!

    ajar isn't enough for the dispenser/housing... I mean, it's better than nothing but it really does help to take out, dump water and just leave it out on top of machine or something so the housing can dry out for a few hours, then just put it back 1/2 way or something until the next time you do...
