Pierre A lot of us here are still using what u described, myself included. I’ve toyed with the idea of having a modern front loader..so that I could wash pillows and bulky items that I can’t put in my old school washer, but haven’t gotten there yet What machine are u using now that’s got you...

Jerome Just read all that .. A lot to unpack there..and to try to be as fair as possible to him.. It’s true that if detergent can’t be rinsed out then it’s not effective..as it’s crucial that effective rinsing carries the detergent and dirt away and down the drain. However what machine is not...

Jerome It’s sure not with getting too upset over..sit down have a beer relax! Thank you for posting the link! I’ve never used a modern front loading machine and I found ur link informative and interesting, and certainly made more sense than a tbls of detergent and a scrub brush! LOL

Express Cycle? So when washing in my Maytag Wringer, recommend agitation times are usually 3-5 minutes according to the manual. We all know why. So would this dude tell me to reduce agitation time to 1 minute? Ya know..to get a “express cycle” Also when using soap (that’s made for laundry...

How do we get on the same no not call list as the police department or hospital? They ain’t callin them. So if there’s a way to stop them from harassing those phone numbers, there has to be a way to stop them from calling us! Who’s gona share the secret?

Hi guys Elisha’s post about searching for a usable wringer for his folks caused me to wonder how many here on the forum are using wringers exclusively? I recently had a breakdown of my automatic daily driver, and until I could get a part to fix it, I resorted to the faithful Maytag wringer...

Lets hope Elisha comes back to share more pics and his progress with the Kenmore.

For you vintage fridge guys here.. I watched both parts of David’s repair and it’s fascinating to see Y’all should check it out

Walking down the detergent aisle Is an adventure.. certainly an assault on the o factory’s and it has nothing to do with one’s age or what one got use to as a child. I don’t remember smelling the obnoxious and over powering scents until the last 15 years or so. Remember..these new and...

For a one or two cups You can’t go wrong with a plain old french press You control the amount of water and coffee. Heating one or two cups of water on the stove is pretty quick

I think It really depends on the load you’re washing. Sometimes I use Tide powder (alkaline) and sometimes a liquid detergent (neutral P.H) with no scent or O.Bs Your water conditions should be considered as well. My machine doesn’t have a detergent dispenser and even though your machine...

Get a bucket Fill with hot water and Borax. Soak napkins over nite. Take napkins out. wring out by hand, then wash as you normally wound with detergent. More than likely the odor or whiff will be gone.

Great Job Thanks for sharing with us.

Mine Was plastic But still in good shape as well as the metal parts. It was just that thin metal hub that had broken.

Good job again Heres a pic of what actually failed on my neutral drain. It was hard to see till after cleaning. Nothing else was wrong except this thin metal hub Just a heads up for your next one. HTH

Bill Sorry I missed seeing this til now. I’m almost a month late. Eddie is correct. I do have and use a monitor top as a daily driver. It’s a prized possession. However is also a bit nerve racking..not because it fails to function.. but because I do not have the tools or mechanical skills...

Good job Sean! Looks great I got lost here on the problem with spin speed.. how did you resolve ?

Eleni Here’s you go First letter is the year made Second letter the month made.

Pete Yes during my time in Pro Laundry and Dry Cleaning Aqua Ammonia was used for the reasons Laundress has mentioned above. Sodium Perborate was used mainly at the spotting board so spot could be slowly heated with steam then flushed away and air gun used to dry..provided fabric could take...

Well Pete There’s been lots of decisions here over the years as to how effective Oxy Clean is for bleaching..especially since it does not contain a AOB. But between the sodium percarbonate and sodium carbonate contained therein..and along with hot water? Guess the black dye didn’t stand a...
