    the dishwasher detergent thing and the bleach

    I forgot to add I don't scrape or rinse the dishes, I turn the plate upside down over a sink with a disposal, what falls down will get rinsed down the thing, and what sticks to the dish goes in the washer. I even run stainless skillets through with the cooked on stuff on it. I will not own or...

    the dishwasher detergent thing and the bleach

    I Insist on the detergent having bleach as well... And I'll be shitminced if my detergent doesn't;'t have STPP in it too! During the 'rona, when Cascasde Fryer Boil became difficult/expensive to get (I was buying the cases of 6) I switched to this stuff, am exploring options for getting it more...

    Asko set questions (I assume these are 'Modern'?)

    Thinking about getting this set tomorrow. I assume they're new enough to be in this section, but am not much of an Asko expert. I've used similar sets before and was impressed with them, and it was this, a Speed Queen stacked set, or a Bosch or Miele. Whatever came first. I'll be replacing a...

    What Is Your Preferred Detergent of Choice?

    Hans I'm the same way with detergent, depending on how my clothes are washed, and in what, my skin can really break out, or just feel dry and scratchy. discovering this had made me a lot more comfortable.

    Get a load of this big, shiny blender!

    It sure does look like a toaster! And I think those handles on the sides ARE toaster handles. Makes that large container seem kinda small even. And that spout is just wild. But it sure is powerful, and it seems like the 3600 or 4000 are the best of the old ones, but I still wouldn't mind...

    What Is Your Preferred Detergent of Choice?

    My favorite is definitely Liquid Laundersol. It clearly must be as i bother buying it in the big bucket! I like adding some Sodium Percarbonate, some like OxyClean, but I like just using the oxy part and skipping the rest… I also don’t care for fabric softener at all, and my eczema has even less...

    Get a load of this big, shiny blender!

    I’ve known Vita-Mix blenders are supposed to be amazing for a long time, but either wasn't finding any or bothering to hunt for one. I decided more recently that I was really found wanting pf a more vintage one. A good friend out in MO managed to get one before I could find mine, but one came my...

    Commercial laundry detergent

    Well finally... I’ve emptied both buckets of detergent! Before I ran out completely I reordered only one bucket. Like I said at the beginning, I expected to like the powder more, but I had decided to get both just because they were the two phosphate filled ones offered, might as well sample the...

    Sink grinder woes...

    If I were to get a brand new ISE, it’d be one of the high end Evolution models, but there’s just something about the way this thing, and the older Waste King units are built. I’ve bought several NOS units as well as a used one off of EBay and not had one issue, but the long and short of this...

    Sink grinder woes...

    Found something I’d been looking for for a bit, and at a great price too! And then the seller shipped it... P.S. It seems I’m in need of a Kitchenaid or Viking magnetic disposer stopper. Anyone have one they’ll sell for less than the $100+ it seems some parts places want????

    Commercial laundry detergent

    Oh it’s good stuff! But it’s also inspired me to explore as many other phosphate filled detergents as well, at least for the laundry. I can’t say I imagine a detergent in the dishwasher that would do any better than Bubble Bandit or Cascade fryer boil.

    Balky TV Remote....

    “ it would just be doubling down on old technology, and you'd have a mess of boxes, cabling, and another power adapter to deal with.” You’d wind up with a setup more like I have, which requires a minimum of 3 remotes to do anything with it. I’ve got the HDMI ports, the component and composite...

    Commercial laundry detergent

    Well the detergents have arrived! I’ve so far just tried the powder. It’s pretty potent stuff, and when I realized I was using too little, I realized this stuff is pretty sudsy too. I just went ahead and used vinegar in the rinse from the beginning, I decided it beat to just take your word on...

    Commercial laundry detergent

    And the other question I have, do I need to be using the vinegar with the liquid too? Or do you think that one is not harsh enough to worry about?

    Commercial laundry detergent

    My goal in adding the vinegar to the fabric softener dispenser was a couple things. I know I keep hearing ‘final rinse’ but I don’t really want the vinegar in the final rinse, I want it in the first (and only unless extra rinse is selected) where there will be another full, agitate, and spray...

    Balky TV Remote....

    There are a couple things... does the power button on the TV work? If the buttons on the TV work fine, the little board with the IR receiver can fall down and not be up in its window. Easiest fix. If it’s the capacitors, it’s probably the ones on the power supply board. A competent electronics...

    My little maytag laundromat adds another

    This thread has me lusting after a vintage Maytag set. I know it’s inlikely, but I really want a 900 series set!!

    Commercial laundry detergent

    Further research and thinking has me saying I think I’ll use vinegar as the sour rinse, all the commercial sour rinses I see are just acidic fabric softeners. I don’t really want any residues or scents left in the laundry, as they tent to either irritate me, or my eczema. I’m really after that...

    Commercial laundry detergent

    Assuming I’m following the 1/4 or 1/2 cup instructions... How much vinegar should I add? I’m eventually going to buy some laundry sour, I found some by the gallon jug on Amazon for not too much, but we’re still going to wait for the next paycheck, as this stuff wasn’t inexpensive! And I’d be...

    Commercial laundry detergent

    Interesting about the HTD leaving things scratchy, so would putting vinegar in the FS dispenser work? I got the powder expecting it to be on the harsh side, and I guess I had the gut feeling something would be needed to completely rinse it out other than water, and now I know! I want to see...
