    How likely are you to convert your car to Electric?

    @thomasortega I just so happen to live in the Suburbs surrounding New York City, and my experiences couldn't be more different than yours. First off... in my home, my laundry room is actually on the 2nd Floor, so I most certainly COULD NOT use the dryer outlet, without running some sort of...

    How likely are you to convert your car to Electric?

    Would I... and would the vast majority of Americans? The answer is No. I like my gas-powered car, and I love the simplicity of filling up in less than 3 minutes and being able to go hundreds and hundreds of miles. A neighbor of mine has an Electric Tesla, and in our Affluent Suburbs there is...

    Biden admin proposes more stringent efficiency standards

    @aquarius1984, I am literally surrounded by water. I live within 30 minutes of the Atlantic Ocean. There is no point, in the next 1,000 years that where I live, is not going to be surrounded by Water. Calling me Selfish or "Prickish", when you don't know me, nor anything about my personal life...

    Biden admin proposes more stringent efficiency standards

    @mattl, I previously had a set of Whirlpool Duets. They were from 2004, and I absolutely loved them. My machine was made in Germany, had an on-board heater, and cleaned like nothing else. I felt confident in the rinsing ability too. The homebuyers of my home, apprently, also loved them and...

    Biden admin proposes more stringent efficiency standards

    @sudsmaster - All these newer machines barely use the "Hot" Line, unless you are choosing a Clean Machine, or Sanitize Cycle. Almost all of them that I've seen, no matter what manufacture turn Hot to Warm and Warm to Cold. Cold = Cold. @mattl... I happen to pay my own Water Bill, and I can...

    Detergent thread 2011

    Oh... What I would do to go back. I miss literally all of this! There were so many Powders out there, and all the fragrances were so much better.

    Real estate mess

    Dan... the real problem is, unless I significantly downsized my home and life, It would make absolutely no financial sense for me to move, or go into foreclosure. Even if the value of my home dropped again. The reason is... first, is that my monthly mortgage payment, at 2.4% Interest + my HOA...

    Ariel Laundry Detergent

    @nmassman44, I am very intrigued by your post. Mostly because, since about 2016/2017... all of the Latin American versions of Ace & Ariel have had a major dose of Suds Suppressors added to them. I can use upwards of 1/2 a cup, sometimes more, and get very little sudsing, and clean rinses. Are...

    Real estate mess

    Eddie, Believe it or not, that story pails in comparison to some of the stuff I've heard. There is someone in our subdivision, that bought their house in April 2007, stopped paying in June 2007, and IS STILL IN THE HOUSE. They got a similar deal too, with one mortgage for 80% of the house, and...

    Ariel Laundry Detergent

    Phosphates are still in the Latin America Foca & Roma. But, I haven't seen any of THOSE bags in any store in the U.S. in a long, long time. It's been over 10 years, maybe. There may also be phosphates versions of Salvo, and Majesto Limipo (MR CLEAN) in powder form, there. You'll know if they...

    Real estate mess

    One thing that is vastly different, is back in 2007/2008, if you defaulted on your Mortgage... the servicing company (acting on behalf of a faceless/nameless Investor) would just send your file immediately to a attorney to pursue foreclosure. A friend of mine defaulted on his Rising Payments...

    Induction gets even cheaper

    The real question is, why bother? My GE Profile Gas Convection Range from 2007, still functions and acts like new... all these years later. I've taken very good care of it, and kept it very clean. I would be outlaying hundreds, if not thousands of dollars for this "upgrade"... that is...

    Ariel Laundry Detergent

    Well... it took years, and years, and more years, past P&G's announcement in 2014, but they have finally removed Sodium TripolyPhosphate from the Ariel Powder sold in Mexico. Previously, they removed the Phosphate from versions manufactured for Argentina, Peru & Columbia, but left it in formulas...

    I need a new dishwasher

    Does anyone know how to remove the yellowing of the tub? I've noticed that a lot of the older Whirlpool Ultra Wash units in my area --- have iron staining, or yellow tubs. I'm just curious if there are ways to clean this up, so they can be kept in utilization.

    Cascade Boil Out Sudsing?

    This version of Cascade, has a anti-foaming agent. Honestly, you may want to check out your rinse aid dispenser in conjunction with using less. Your rinse aid dispenser, may be leaking.

    Automatic dishwasher detergent that will not dull dishes?

    For what it's worth... While it's just my personal opinion, I think that it's the modern detergent's that use Sodium Citrate, and Citric Acid -- that seem to swiftly remove patterns, and cause etching. I'll say this confidently... I've got clear tumbler glasses, pyrex measuring cups, fiesta...

    STPP usage and amounts...

    As for dosing Most of FL has moderately or very hard water. Bare that in mind, when dosing -- that you'll need to use enough to accommodate that. In my experience, You should attempt to use at least two to three tablespoons in a Deep Fill Machine like a Conventional TL or Deep Fill Top Loader...

    Roma Detergent ... opinions?

    Speaking of Detergent's across the border P&G has not completely eliminated Phosphates from their Ariel Production. They have begun to phase it out from some markets (like Columbia) but for Peru & Mexico -- they are still making the Ariel Powder with Sodium TripolyPhosphate. What is, however...

    Is powdered detergent safe for dishes?

    Speaking of Palmolive and other modern day dish liquids, I have to say.. I'm quite disappointed. Not only do I find them very hard to rinse off dishes, and sponges, but a lot of them have taken up horrible strong scents. The recently reformulated Green Palmolive, and new Dawn formulas come to...

    A fabric softener question...

    Closest thing to old Downy April Fresh you'll ever find! Up & Up Spring Bloom from Target. It's light, and wonderful smelling, unlike anything other P&G garbage of today. I've been using it for years, until it was discontinued, and recently brought back again...
