Your set is the one I recommended to a friend, they like them. It's a good, sturdy machine. Sound advice from Ronhic, I started with soft water, medium and was able to back down, depending on the load. For a lights load of polos and t's 60cc, sturdier, dirtier stuff closer to 100cc, my massage...

I agree, with being able to cut down on the amount used and not needing additives, makes the cost a little more agreeable. The price you paid is lower than I've paid. It is cool we even have the same machines! I like mine, just wish the heater would work in all cycles

7 grains is in line with the water I was used to in Michigan. Yes, you're correct use a common measuring cup. Though 275 ml (approx. 1-1/4c)is a lot of powder for on load one load. I get great results with less than half that for a heavy soiled load in my Frigidaire Affinity. With the European...

Detergent measures on the Persil pkts are volume not weight. I use about 60-120 cc/ml of the powder and 45-65cc/ml of the megaperls. We had mod hard water in Michigan and now very soft mountain water here in NC. I use the same amts here. When I lived in Portland our water was quite soft, the...

I was curious about those statements as well. Not being a chemist, I wiki'd H2O2, chlorine bleach and chlorine. Without going into lots of detail. Mich is partially correct. H2O2 is a weak acid with a pH of 6.2 and considered a strong oxidiser. From the info I found, mixing these two...

Whirlcool, that's a gem of a machine! I agree, a sewing machine has it's own personality. Your mother obviously knew this one's very well! Not to be insulting, but it could be something as simple as the threading that is causing the issues. I've learned over the years to retread the machine...

I pretty much buy all of my sheets at Ikea these days. I have black and dk. grey sets that are all washed at 60 with Persil colour and ammonia. No colour fading after 2-3 years and still look great. Most importantly, they're holding up well. Now they're not the softest sheets, but I don't use...

My deepest sympathy! Love and light to family and friends in this very sad time.

We bought the "Hogla" about two years ago, for the guest room. It's a very firm mattress. Well built, I think. People who have slept on it, myself included, think its a bit too firm at first but end up liking it. I didn't wake up sore at all. I don't think you can go wrong with it, though I...

Can you imagine sleeping on that bed, with all that un-neutralised chlorine wafting about! I think I would have used a whole quart of vinegar in the rinse to neutralise that mess. Lol

I agree with nmassman. Mine loves phosphate powders best as well. I get perfect results on the most baked on stuff with Somat powder. Cascade complete phosphate free does fine on everyday loads. Surprisingly, the worst results with Quantum tabs. Which I liked best in the old Bosch.

I've found detergent needs to be dosed quite carefully in my La Perla II. I keep it to 20cc for a normal load and 30 cc for a pots and pans load, plus about 5cc in the prewash cup. Fill the cup is way too much soap. They use enough less water that less is better. That's a great machine, btw...

I used one of the 14 x 36 units to hold a full size micro on the second shelf, a full set of dishes for eight on the third and a KitchenAid mixer and bread machine on the bottom shelf, topped it all off with glasses. Used it for at least 10 years, with no issues. They are very sturdy, should...

I was just thinking how easy it was to access the site from my iPhone and here you went and made even more improvements.Thanks for all you do!

Damn, it's too bad Hotpoint is a different company here in the US. Those vacs are nice! Who manufactures their irons? They look like they would work really well, lots of steam when you need it.

I wash mine all the time. We have two cats and two dogs. Therefore, they need washing pretty frequently, even with a duvet cover. Mine are a combination of down and feathers. Depending on the stains, I'll wash on warm or hot, with Miele down wash on the Cuddledown ones and Persil universal on...

Thank you Yogitunes, for your recommendations. It's sound advice, I hope that its heeded. This is actually quite an interesting thread, it's just difficult weed through the chafe. There are allot of very well informed people on this site, who are very kind to offer their knowledge and...

Frigilux, I with you! I much prefer Perwoll for by better clothes. The addition of some enzymes enhances the performance, helping to keep shadowing to a minimum. As a side note, just looked up ingredients list for Woolite, fortunately no OBA's. link below is to listing...

I've used this Wisk too. I thought it was fine at cleaning. It's too sudsy for our soft water. Went back to Persil and Shaklee, prefer powders anyway. Might try the neeTide HE acti lift then.
