    "New Formula" Ariel now phosphate-free

    Tom . . Prairie Dogs cause a multitude of problems where I live. They do, in fact, burrow under the ground, and they deposit the majority of their waste there - as opposed to dropping it on top of the soil. They also help themselves to the vegetation growing on local farms, and then they do...

    "New Formula" Ariel now phosphate-free

    Good point, but . . We don't have that problem as much in the western half of the United States, because there is not water where I live. Here in West Texas, we live in a desert-like region where there are no streams or rivers for our wastewater to run. Ours goes to the local water treatment...

    Time of day calling it quits at AT & T

    58limited . . . Out of curiosity, I tried calling 214-844-6611, since I figured that Plano probably still had the 214 area code back then. It's still in service - a recording by Bank of America. I was curious to see what I would get if I dialed 972-844-6611, since Plano is now in the 972 area...

    Nice Maytag Set

    Very good machines . . But they were not made in 1995. They were more-than-likely made in the mid to late 1980's. That is also the small capacity washer, just like the center-dial predecessors.

    Oh Fab, I'm sad...

    Shane, My Boy . . . Last time I checked, Launderess is a "she". LOL. Would love to see a pic of Launderess on the Pic thread! I have a feeling she may look a lot like Cheryl Mendelson! Just kidding . . Launderess - I think you should write your own book on Laundry and all things related. If...

    Quixtar's Liquid Fabric Softener: In the dryer?!

    I remember my Grandmother once pouring a generous amount (that's right - pouring - not spritzing) of the old Final Touch fabric softener (oh, so Heavenly) on a kitchen rag and then tossing it into her 1980's Kenmore fully electronic push-botton dryer. I thought she was CRAZY! She had very hard...

    MEGAPEARLS

    I not sure it's necessarily the "Megaperls" that are so special, but the Persil brand overall. The powder is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING in terms of cleaning and whitening, and the scent is AWESOME!!! The Megaperls variant is a more concentrated format so you can use less for great results. Persil also...

    Branching Out . . . Experimenting with Water Temps in my LG Steam Washer

    After using my LG Steam Washer for a few months now, I've finally decided to begin experimenting with different water temperatures on different loads. I typically only wash my whites on the Sanitary cycle so I can ensure that they will come out bright and white! But after hearing about some...

    Yellow top Oxydol

    Uh oh..... That bottle looks like the same bottle for the EXTRA-CHEAPO "X-TRA" detergent that lines the Wal-Mart shelves. I sure hope it's not the same formula! X-TRA cleans about as well as just plain ole' water!

    German Persil

    Does Sainsbury's still have their "Perform" line of detergents? This is(was) essentially German Persil Megaperls re-packaged for Sainsbury's. Bryan

    A laundry soap I have never seen before

    Joe, you bring up an interesting question . . It makes me wonder how many people in Russia actually have a dishwasher? Maybe the commercial is trying to portray an "upper class" family who would have a dishwasher, while at the same time promoting a product used by all of the classes? Or I...

    Someone Explain Please

    I love my Heat Pump . . . My house is all electric, and my electric bill was $52.54 during my last billing cycle (4/26/07 - 5/26/07). I used 410 KWH during this cycle. That's pretty good, considering my house is a 3/2/2 with about 2000 sq ft of living space. Since I am pretty warm-natured, I...

    Moving Up to Miele ..... Maybe?

    That's what I get for sleeping!!!!! I thought it was mine but a couple of bids came in when I wasn't looking. I was already planning my trip to Dallas to pick these babies up when I realized that I had been OUT-BID! Oh well, I'm sure I will find another. No hurry... the LG's are working...

    @ all Fl-Owners: How do you keep your whites sparking white?

    I use a good bleach-containing detergent (such as Henkel Persil or UK Persil), some STPP and the hottest wash my machine will deliver. My LG only heats up to 70*C, so it's not quite a "boil wash", but gets the job done. When using American Detergents (which I rarely do for whites), I add the...
