Polyester and certain man made fibers not only are hydrophilic (love oil) but also tend to hang onto body whiff. This explains why sports kit and similar gear or even just normal garments made from such fibers (or even blends) may come out of the wash and still have bit of pong, especially once...

Well whatever it is that KA washer was hotly sought after by at least two persons. Final hammer price was about $150 give or take.

It's amazing how many of those Asian built twin tub units are still about.

If product in question has reached state it resembles badly curdled Hollandaise sauce then no amount of agitation is going to help. Otherwise, no, it's not necessary to agitate FS nor more than any other liquid cleaning or personal care product. Either something is a stable emulsion, or it's...

Maytag discontinued production of winger washers on 22 November 1983 after 76 years. Sales of wringer washing machines in USA had been steadily declining since 1950's. Post war era sales of fully automatic washing machines were eclipsing semi-automatics by miles. Steady drum beat from...

In case anyone hasn't noticed all sorts of online from eBay on down now posts messages that items sent from outside of USA (such as Europe) will now face import taxes. This is a direct effect of de minimis import fee wavier. Now no matter how small in price shipment happens to be there will be...

Boilers have been rated in horsepower (steam) going back to industrial revolution if not bit before. https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/boiler-horsepower-d_1061.html https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/boiler-horsepower-d_1061.html Comparison was between work done by actual horses versus steam...

Many if not most early at least steam heated tumblers did not have thermostats. There was a means provided for controlling amount of air sucked into steam coil area. Usually a lever or knob on side of steam box that controlled some sort of damper or valve which in turn controlled how much air...

Have given up bothering. Things either go or are going to the tip (by whatever means) in whole or at stripped down for parts first. Latter will go on fleaPay or something. Life is just too short to bother with too much nonsense. At least now we know why many sellers don't want to hear from...

They have no shame some people. What crust! Even if person couldn't take machines he should have at least done proper thing and paid for them so you wouldn't be out of pocket.

IIRC W1 washers can reach temp of 170F on certain cycles. Naturally doing so from tap cold water is going to take longer compared to 2100 to 3000 watts of heating power that came with Miele washers of old.

Commercial/industrial laundries that use steam to heat various appliances (washers, dryers, mangles, hand irons...) usually have two lines. One is incoming steam, the other is to drain away condensate (what forms when steam cools and condenses back to water after giving up heat). That...

Last few days things were basically down to two bidders up against each other. Someone new came in at last few minutes and copped the lot for $2,400 USD Sure hope those units don't have issues, winning bidder's CC will be charged at once for final hammer price plus BP, and that will be that...

Those extractors (centrifuges) in laundries were long a danger even when just used by industrial or commercial establishments. After some poor wee lad had his arm ripped off by a Bock extractor that was it far as laundromats were concerned. Many either took the things out an or disabled them...

Am no expert but do not believe immersion heating elements (shown in picture) can be swapped in as replacement for convector type. Will give you that convectors usually are nothing more than one or series of tubes surrounded by fins, but that's the thing isn't it? Fins are there to create and...
