I actually recall that jingle----seems like the timing for Colgate-Palmolive for that branding was a bit off because this would have been about the moment that X-rated movies became a "thing" in the greater culture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Age_of_Porn

Umm...believe Whirlpool and Sears have been providing braille overlays/use and care guides for years....

We've had a GE dishwasher with this filter in a very hard water area along with a Bosch in a similarly hard water area and also one in a soft water area. The filter seems to get limed up a bit, and the flexible nylon (as opposed to the Bosch's stainless steel) doesn't clean up as well. It...

This was the era of the AGA trying to fill the kitchen/house with gas-fueled appliances and muscle out those knaves from the Edison Electric Institute and their Gold Medallion program. Yesterday I ended up going down a bunny trail of the Caloric Disposer.....incinerator from the early 60s.

I still remember a story on NPR in roughly 1994 during Morning Edition as I was driving to work (so would have been about 7:40 am......lol) about dial-up and running out of ports/phone numbers/...as I worked in numbering at US Cellular it was quite important

According to the privacy policy on the Surf website it's Henkel USA

that is an esoteric collection!

There are two different designs--not sure which is better or more convenient. One (for a king size) uses a single plug into the wall and has the two controls on a T circuit with a single plug-into the mattress pad. The other has two entirely separate circuits, two plugs into the wall, etc. A...

sorry for the confusion---yes, with the rack in and only a cupful (my mom was famous for boiling two potatoes cut into quarters for dinner many nights in a Revere Ware saucepan, then marveling that there was always some left (yet when she made more interesting potatoes they'd all disappear----my...

That was always the refrain of Thanksgiving--the Mirro-Matic rattling with the potatoes to be mashed. My mom used the pressure cooker for bulk potato boiling (potato salad in the summer; mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving). among other things.

Heading to my aunt's in Oberlin, Ohio for a dinner at her CCRC, Kendal at Oberlin. Avoiding the local family due to the election drama. It's such a late Thanksgiving (short Christmas season) that it feels a bit weird this year.

Actually the matte white finish is pretty attractive, and far easier to keep clean than, say, the textured finish of a refrigerator. Soft cloth/no abrasives and no Magic Erasers/Scotch Brite/etc

Believe I'd seen mention of SQ dishwashers in Canada, but not beyond the wit of mankind to label a few in the US to help loyal SQ dealers round out a line with a lower cost DW than KitchenAid (which would have been these type dealers higher-end offering).

The HE Butt Grocery Company (giggle) ostensibly creates it's top-shelf private label with Texas washing and water conditions in mind. https://www.heb.com/product-detail/h-e-b-bravo-plus-he-original-liquid-laundry-detergent-value-pack-96-loads-150-oz/1695637 Costco, Sams, Walmart, etc specify...

Beg pardon, there but Church and Dwight/Arm and Hammer absolutely does produce laundry detergent with enzymes. 3 enzymes https://churchdwight.com/ingredient-disclosure/laundry-fabric-care/40501313-oxiclean-refreshing-lavender-and-lily.aspx 2 enzymes...

All of the companies (Henkel, P&G, Unilever, Kao, etc etc etc) make detergents with differing components; on the highest level to make sense for the local conditions/market but also in the cheaper lines to reach their price point and expecation point regarding fragrance, viscosity, etc etc. A...

I lust after one of those 30" with the tall backsplash in white---have the perfect slot in the kitchen for it. Had a friend with a 40" in Harvest who doted on that range...

I grabbed a box of those Ariel pods when we were in Manchester UK to wash with; brought the rest home. The box was really well designed to be both childproof and all-cardboard. Pods seemed to work well both in the FL Bosch we used at the B&B and the rest in my DD Whirlpool at home.

The Crisco launch is so fascinating---the recipe books that were developed in multiple languages and the work done with ethnic communities...the Kosher cookbook is really interesting in just how revolutionary a neutral (pareve) solid fat was.

Boy this series gives one so many questions! Looks like Norge refrigerator/stove in that kitchen. Cotton wartime mattresses. Somehow thought salt water pools were a recent thing (or weren't they generating chlorine by breaking down the salt back in those days). Dansk cookware...so...
