I usually use Tide. Our water is pretty hard. I normally fill the cap to line 5 ( 3/4th full) for a large load. I have not tried anything yet to remove this as I wasn't sure what to try.

I have a Speed Queen TC5 that is 5 years old. I love the machine, my only complaint is with the stainless steel tub. I'm not sure how to describe it but its developed a dull scratched finish, which only started after I started adding Oxiclean to each load. I put the Oxi and detergent in first...

Jerry, put us down for two. Evan and I will be there again this year. Been looking forward to it all year!

I've been using my TC5 for almost 3 years and absolutely LOVE it. Yes always use the deep fill option when washing full loads. The regular setting fills the tub about 3/4th full and is for all partial loads. Its more like a medium setting. I also always select the heavy soil setting when I'm...

Beautiful machines! Can't wait to see when Bob fixes them up. Maybe you can make some vids of it when he is done with them? I'd love to have them ;)

Congrats on the set! I would love to find one of these machines, they are one of my favorites.

Jerry Mark us down for 1 more as we have another friend who will be joining us.
