Laundress' Reply to me... Hi "Big Apple"! Je parle francais aussi! I stand corrected by your explanation of the way EDTA works, and appreciate it. I am by no means a chemist, but pride myself on years of experience with laundry detergents. I have to wonder why, then, do many soap bars...

"bygted's" Coffee Table Hey "bygted", My Aunt has the same coffee table as you do, but her's has a black base/"legs"! I really like your Living Room's design! Jason

We had a Bendix Economat I remember only too well, back in 1955 as a 3-year-old, the hand-wringing we used to do(Mom, Grandma & I) to prepare the wash for the 1955 Frigidaire Condenser dryer we had! That Economat washed well, but that "Metaxaloy" tub was bizarre. I have, somewhere, the...

Welcome to joefuss1984! Hi Joe! Welcome to the Wonderful World of Washers & Dryers, and other appliances! It's always nice to have new memebers to help-out with questions, especially younger guys like you. This is the best way to "get your fuss wet" as you would hope to. Just remember...

Use of Phosphates in Detergent As some of us laundry-lovers are pretty well-informed, phosphates have been banned for sale and manufacture in today's powder detergents. While some liquids in the past, such as all and Wisk, had phosphates, they never "kept too well" in the bottle. It should...

Reply #22 by gorenje Ingemar, The one ingredient "tetraacetildiammina..." is TAED, it is a mineral-harnessing(chelating) compound which keeps the hard water minerals in solution away from laundry. The "carboxymetylcellulosi..." is Carboxymethylcellulose-this is a soil-suspender used in...

Purex with Zout Liquid Mrcleanjeans reply #1 Hi David, I bought a bottle of the new Purex with Zout liquid at "Tarzhay". It was on sale for 4.99 and I had a 1.00-off coupon, so I couldn't resist. I find it doesn't clean white laundry so well even in hot water, in my Samsung WA448AAW...

Re: Reply 83 from gorenje Hi Ingemar! I am sorry, I meant to say that people who insist on using hot water for chlorine bleach, that is not effective as we were told growing-up. Your regular "Bright Clean Cheer" powder may not make so many suds because your water is so hard! It has no...

Reply #7 from "gorenje" Cold Water Bleaching Ingemar, for those who really know, chlorine bleach works BEST in cold water. Using only hot water as an effective solution is a myth. I would never use "tap cold" water that's quite frigid, to do ANY laundry, but the chlorine bleach would work best...

Replies #6 & #9 I am glad bosch2460 knows that currently, only Cheer powder contains NO optical brighteners, as all the liquid versions now do have them. The "Cheer for Darks" liquid has no optical brighteners, but is extremely sudsy. To Roscoe62, there is currently no Cheer HE powder...

Chevy Caprice & Ford Falcon Convertible Thank you Vern for your reply about the name "Caprice". Also thanks to Patrick for his photo of the Falcon Convertible, proving me wrong once again! I visit friends in Vienna, Ashburn, and Leesburg ,VA! I'd love to meet Waher/Dryer collectors some day...

Falcon Convertible(cuffs054) I do not ever remember there being a Ford Falcon convertible! The car's whole selling feature was basic compact transportation in sedan and wagon configurations.

EVERYTHING GM! Caprice means "changing at a whim" or always switching your mind at a moment's notice. Maybe there was a NYC restaurant by that name, I as a native will have to check.
