Sure-Temp vs. Sure-Clean I noticed that on the Superba models they refer to the Automatic Water Heating as SureTemp where on the other models it is referred to as SureClean. Was this just marketing or was the water heating done slightly differently on the different models? I always thought...

Hi Everyone: I have heard from Clorox Consumer Services that the Sodium Hypochlorite concentration in the new Concentrated Clorox Bleach formulation will be 8.25%. They do not yet have any literature on line or available yet. Supposedly, everything is the same except for the increase in Sodium...

Amway L.O.C. I thought it was Liquid Organic Cleaner. They had this at a summer camp I worked at for one of my very first jobs. It came in the generic Amway square white opaque plastic bottles.

Hi Everyone: We have a fountain in our courtyard lined with nice decorative tile. The tiles on the floor of the fountain have developed bad tile scale over the years. (The attached photo shows the tiles on the bottom and the same tiles on the side with less scale.) Any suggestions for...

Loved ths dishwasher We had one of these and loved it. The only drawback was the tower but we got used to it. Autoclean and Extra Rinse were great cycles. The control panel died after they did the Rinse Agent Dispenser recall repair.

Love this... Great document in the Daily Doctrine. Love the graphics on the front and back cover and all the detail in this document. Thanks for posting! Bob

1981 Dodge Colt It was the Colt made by Mitsubishi and was red. Wonderful first car. It had 49K miles on it when I got it and over 200K when I gave it to a neighbor who was going to overhaul it. Got me all the way through college with only having to do brakes, tires and replace the starter.

OBAs in Powder but not liquid?? I always thought that the color products did not have optical brighteners as they contribute to darks fading over time. Based on MRX's previous post, I went back and looked at my box of (Unilever) Persil Colour powder and Persil Small and Mighty Colour liquid...

Washing Machine Cleaners/Gimmicks I used Tide Washing Machine Cleaner once when I got a great deal on it with coupon/sale. I don't know that I would have purchased it otherwise. The fragrance was very strong but dissipated within a day. It is basically oxygen bleach and surfactants. I...

Love it... When using Persil Megaperls, I use 3 Tbsp plus 1 Tbsp STPP in our LG front loader. This works great for even large white loads. I always stock up when I go on vacation to Europe or have family bring it over as it is so expensive here.

Chlorine and enzymes definitely do not work together as the chlorine breaks down the enzymes. If I am using any detergent containing chlorine but also need the benefits of enzymes based on the load, I will put the enzyme detergent (i.e., Cascade Complete) in the pre-wash cup then put the...

I was in Target today and noticed there is a new Finish product: Power Up Booster Agent. The website indicates it is basically citric acid with fragrance. I guess to compete with Lemi-Shine. I would have liked to have seen a new version of Glass Magic with oxygen bleach instead of...

Acrobat Pro Version 6 When I tried opening it with Acrobat Professional version 6, I also had the issue with "Bad Encrypt Dictionary". (Occurred when opening directly as well as when opening a saved file.) It worked fine with Acrobat Reader. Bob

Personally, I will always use rinse agent. However, my best friends wife is against rinse agent so I make sure their dispenser is regularly filled with white vinegar. I wouldn't do it in our house but it seems to work well for them. They use Finish Power Ball tabs and things seem to come out...

LG On the normal cycle: Wash (about four minutes before end, dispense LCB) Drain Spin Rinse Spin Rinse Spin Two rinses are standard on normal, there is an option for Extra Rinse which we always use. Bob

Hi Everyone: I know on my KitchenAid dishwasher(model KUDK)I can access the test mode by pressing Heat Dry, Normal, Heat Dry, Normal. Then Start cycles through the various test functions. Does anyone have a chart about the sequence of the various test functions or the service manual? Thanks Bob

Finish Dishwasher Cleaner I've noticed outside North America Finish Dishwasher Cleaner specifically calls out that it cleans grease and limescale where the North American version does not have a grease claim. The product also looks different (an opaque and a blue layer) compared to the one we...

Hi Everyone: We have a trip planned to Costa Rica and Equador. Of course, there will have to be a trip to the local grocery store to check out the detergent aisle (one thing I always enjoy doing when traveling). Any tips on good detergents to pick up? I would like ones suitable for front...

Had one for years in my previous house that was installed new and loved it. Cleaned beautifully. Have another one now in this house as our second dishwasher in the garage. Love it as well. If I was in the area and needed a dishwasher, I'd get it.
