So there I was in Target (Trumbull CT Mall location) yesterday looking for some Tide Mountain Spring Powder - currently the only Tide powder scent that I can tolerate. Of course, none to be had. However, yes there were several jugs of Cheer liquid. Not sure where they have been but this is...

I think NuSoft liquid is still available - not widely. However, you can order it from the company - Malco Products (Barberton, Ohio)- they also make Bluette liquid bluing along with several other household items. NuSoft still smells quite a lot like it always did. I don't normally use fabric...

Is Cheer liquid still even widely sold? I haven't seen it in any of my grocery stores, WalMarts or Targets for a long while. At one point one could still find Cheer Powder in Walmart and Target along with Surf powder, but other than Tide and Arm &Hammer, along with the occasional box of Gain...

I had the next model up from your washer. Mine was a 2000 model and was from the period where Goodman Indiustries owned Amana. That was the company between Raytheon and Maytag. Unfortunately my unit literally only lasted three years - when I started to have that issue of loud spin squealing...

Probably a test market product that never went national. That's true of so many products. Living in the "NY metropolitan area" we missed so much since we weren't representative of the rest of the country. For example, I never knew that Cold Power was also offered in liquid form. Never saw...

unfortunately Vano is no longer made. When Purex was acquired by Dial , the Vano (west coast) and StaFlo (east coast) brands were merged into the SteFlo brand. I discovered Vano Starch back in the 80s when I used to travel for business and I would buy cases of it and ship it back to...

hard to tell without seeing the entire jacket. However, if it's structured like a sport coat or blazer, likely there are facings inside the jacket behind the lining and those shouldn't be submerged or washed since you may experience shrinkage and linings/facings won't shrink at the same rate...

Interesting question. My maternal grandmother died well before I was born but as my mother told it, she and her next older sister were responsible for the family wash - that was 10 kids and no washer. That meant scrubbing on a washboard in the bathtub and boiling in a huge stovetop kettle...

Here in Connecticut, we are surrounded by Wegmans - they are in Massachusetts and will be opening in Harrison, NY (Westchester County) sometime in the next year according to their website. There are several in New Jersey already and the one closest to me is about an hour away in Montvale, NJ...

much as I like the performance of Tide w/Bleach Powder, I can't stand the reformulated scent. I don't notice any difference between the scents of regular Tide or the w/Bleach version. As the original scent (on the market since its introduction in the late 80's) was going away, I went to my...

In later episodes, a top loading Philco washer and matching dryer were in the laundry room. Rarely seen, but for quick glimpses, but they are unmistakable. Never a close up shot but I think they were around 1962 middle line models. Definitely not "Miss Americas". Then when Hazel moved into...

Sunshine also had Cherry Coolers - very popular in the early - mid 1970s

In my family, after dinner coffee was understood as part of closing out the meal. We might take a walk after dinner just for a break, but we would reconvene at the table. I guess I just see it as extension of the social nature of the day and a relaxing time - coffee or tea, caffeine or no, it...

The traditional dinner with the friends I grew up with. So in addition to the roasted turkey, the fried turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, peas, squash and turnips that the host prepares, I will be bringing the sweet potato casserole (no marshmallows), sautéed broccoli rabe, corn pudding...

Wasn't that originally called the "Lady Stella Assortment"?

Feel better soon. I had something awful back in February. Still not sure whether it was a virus or food poisoning. I had eaten lunch at a "Smashburger" in Milford CT. on a Saturday afternoon and by 8pm that night, was keeping nothing down. And since I am the person who says "I never get...

A couple of things: - Big pot of Sunday gravy with meatballs, sausage and pork chops (not a big braciole fan). Will use that gravy on lasagne di Carnavale (the southern Italian kind with little meatballs in the layers - Chicken soup, a lot of which will be frozen for the upcoming Thanksgiving...

Let's not forget the solid tub Hotpoint's "Fountain Filter". Apparently GE was a fan of alliteration - "Filter Flo" on their models but Fountain Filter on the Hotpoint line. Also mid-late 1960s agitation on the Philco top loaders was labelled as "Flex-a-Wash" and on the models with the wide...

Interesting sales video. If you actually believe all the quality statements, you would almost be tempted to go out and buy one of those Kelvinators thinking you were actually getting a solid reliable machine... I wonder if the sales videos for other WCI brandmates like Gibson, Hamilton and by...

Actually, if you could see the control panel up close, you would see, at the bottom right the small Philco symbol and it shows the "P" then it says Philco Bendix. A year or two later, they switched it around. the larger plate on front of the machines had the "P" with the words Philco Bendix...
