Ingredients Show sodium lauryl sulfate as second to water on ingredient list? So it’s a type of detergent.. What a mess! You’d be better off with real soap and a little Borax

This is what broke This little metal hub. Took me a while to finally see it after cleaning it Mystery solved None of the other parts had failed. Machine still works perfectly

I’ll bet John L will know Let’s see if he stops by.

Love it Very cool

Don’t remember Anyone ever asking for a hard press. Some drapes had to be pressed flat before being hung on the drapery/pleat machine, but never would have thought to hard press creases! We did charge more per pleat if the drapes where lined.

Think You have to ask yourself if you want something that performs as cheer was supposed to. (Less fading of bright colors and darks) or if you want the scent? Cuz I don’t know if you can have both. If you want to keep darks dark, then avoid optical brightners, and oxygen bleach and stay with...

If Laundress stops by I’m sure shel have a suitable suggestion for a substitute. IIRC..Cheer was for colors. So possibly a mild detergent like Seventh Generation or Ecos. They don’t contain Optical brighteners, or oxygen bleach, and O.K for lightly duty HTH

OMG! So $12.00 per pleat ! I use to do a lot of drapes when I worked in dry cleaning. They were measured upon arrival or at the time of take down. Usually dry cleaned, then hung on drapery machine, steamed, pleated, re steamed and stretched back to original length if needed. Not a difficult...

$600.00 !! For drapes to be dry cleaned and pleated?? How many pleats ?

Well Walter Glad you enjoyed I feel Eddie’s post has gotten highjacked. I just know Eddie’s a good cook..so Eddie, let’s see the good eatin your cooking up with your new stove!

Glen Nice job of cleaning it up. It didn’t look like it had detergent build up or gunk. More like hard water deposits? Noting too unusual for its age. They all need a good cleaning from time to time no matter what one dose.

Good to know Eddie After reading your post I checked our local garbage/ recycling website and it looks like I’ve been doing this right but putting it in the wrong can! I should be putting this in with the yard waste container! Some of our scraps go to the chicken but I’m picky about what they...

Eddie This is what we’ve been using the last 38 years Our hostess and the rest of group knew this as we’ve hosted all the gathering at our house. This old stove has cranked out many party dinners. (For them) I later found out that they were all in on the joke and wanted to see if we’d know...

Hi Eddie Just notice this post. I guess you ain’t ever going to lay on a oven door again. 😂 Last Xmas time we were invited guests at someone’s house..kind of a pot luck deal. New experience for us cuz we usually do all the hosting. We brought something (can’t remember what) that needed to be...

Detergent can build up on fabric It’s referred to as encrustation. If you google “encrustation on fabric” you find explanations of how and why it happens. If Laundress stops by, I’m sure shel be able to explain further. STPP is one additive that helps prevent this. Good rinsing and...

Let us know Aldo You can also run a empty load (no clothes no detergent) with hot water and just the soda crystals (washing soda) to help remove any detergent build up in the machine. Same thing will happen if you have build up in machine (You’l see sudsing)

Hello Dear! Sodium Carbonate seems to be close to the top of the list on all Tide powdered versions. And I imagine it still is with the new box of powdered Tide Original I have now. I’ve advised folks that are die hard liquid detergent users to occasionally use straight washing soda and hot...

Aldo Have you tried using half the recommended dosage of your detergent? You might have a detergent build up already in the fabrics. This can cause over sudsing. Try washing a load in warm to hot water with 1/2 cup of baking soda or soda crystals (no detergent) and see if you get suds. If...

I’ve cleaned My 2000 Kenmore like he did in the video twice since new. Last time was only a month ago. Both times where nowhere near that bad. I don’t use FS I think no matter what one uses it a good idea to check them on occasion and clean them out. Since last cleaning I’ve been adding...

I wonder How different this formula is from the current Tide Powder available now? I always keep a box of Tide original on hand. I never use the recommended dose as the stuff is strong enough with half the recommended dose.
