Rich Thanks for that feedback. My next vintage buy is going to be a 40's refrig to go with my 40's range. I am still undecided on brand/styling. Any advice?

30's, 40's, 50's..... Does anyone have a refrigerator from the 30's, 40's, or 50's who can show it's energy consumption?

Laundress, your valued opinion Laundress, Tide with Bleach has been my Favorite for years, but in my front loader it creates excess foam as well. I had the dosage down so low (still with foaming issues) that I felt things were not going to get clean, so I gave up. The same is true of all other...

Love the clothesline Eugene, What a beauuuuuutifully hung, perfectly white wash! (Martha Voice) lol I use mine any chance I get....today was a great windy day... I used my Maytag Wringer and hung everything out. The "T-Post" is my favorite, but to save space when I landscaped the backyard, I...

I thought I was seeing things I would also like to know what causes those stains and how to remove them as I have had the same problem with white napkins/tablecloths. When ironed and put away they were not there, then after 6 months or so, they "magically" appeared. Nothing would remove them...

PeterH770 I did that same thing with 1/2 a clothespin when I was a kid...I forgot all about that until I read your post. I have always used the spring type as those were the preferred type of my Mom and her Mom because they provided a better grip and you could "double up" pieces easier. My...

Laundress and Shane.... I agree with both of you. Laundress, I have noticed that things are softer with liquids. Liquids seem to leave behind an "oily" film much like a fabric softner does, therefor leaving a softer feel. Shane, I also prefer powdered detergents...they seem to clean the...

My other thread on "The Physics of the Spin Speed" prompted this question. I remember when front loaders were just becoming popular... somewhere around the mid 90's I think... that was when I got my ASKO set. Frigidaire/Kenmore had theirs, Maytag introduced the Neptune, and ASKO gained more...

Jamie, Several years ago I had an ASKO set in my kitchen. Even though the cabinet of the machine was absolutely free from vibration at all speeds (thanks to it's great suspension and tub design) I could feel the vibration in the wood floor... especially around 1000 rpm, but it seened to get...

Thanks Everyone Keven, you brought out another question. The "How you do it" comment made me wonder if the machine picking up speed slowly vs. taking off & going right up to full speed has any effect on extraction? Mike and Nate you answered questions I had about the size of the holes in the...

Recent machines have an extended spin in the final spin portion of the cycle suggesting less residual moisture. While not a physics major, it seems logical to me that the faster the tub spins and the larger the tub is, the more water removed from the clothing by pure force. The longer it spins...

I had doorbell problems for years...everything from sounding cheap, sometimes ringing when the button pushed & sometimes not & going off by itself during thunder/electrical storms. Problem solved...Big Old Fashioned Iron Door Knocker...looks cool, sounds cool & no more getting scared by a...

Gary, I am sorry to hear your news. Even though I don't know you, I can relate to what you are feeling. I remember when my Gram passed away 2 years ago, so many things changed forever. I can say that I have many, many great memories and hope you do as well. Joe

Toggleswitch Steve, you really said it very well.

I'd like to know the answer to this one as well.

How about that Mr. Clean Magic Eraser? The texture of it may grab the lint. If not I would just throw them out. :(

Shane As always, thanks for the feedback. Yes I have a Siemens FL and just about everything I have tired has made it go into extra rinses due to excessive foam. I am going to give the ALL a try...I understand it is a different formula than the ALL Ultra Powder off the grocery shelf...am I right?

Has anyone used Concentrated ALL detergent (the one that comes in the 50lb bag/box) and if so what did you think?

I bought a bottle of it to use this spring. It was my understanding that it is much more concentrated than the laundry version?
