I think it doesn`t matter how stupid and pointless it is to wash jeans in the shower. It`s been over 20 years since Levi`s legendary 501s have been "in fashion" where literally everybody wore them. 501s and the Levi brand in general will have a huge come back again sometime, no doubt about it...

The most important difference will be the increase in profit for Reckitt and Benckiser. I could imagine as soon as they rolled out the Infinity Shine version the regular Ultimate`s package got a little update too including a new barcode number because they silently lowered the quality of those...

Ok, so I had to look it up in my favorite specialist book on laundry detergents just to make sure I wasn`t talking BS in reply #3. On a side note, I fully agree with Eddie on how stupid it is to use expensive booze for this purpose. And just because Blanche didn`t pick up a detergent related...

I don`t get the point of a fire hazard. Apart from dilution with plenty of wash and rinse water, is vodka even at full strength strong enough to ignite? So even if a whole bottle of 100% alcohol was used per wash cycle you`d never even come close to the alcohol content of beer when the cycle is...

Didn`t the first generations of liquid detergents in the 1980s contain large amounts of alcohols like ethanol? Nowadays stuff like glycerin or propylene glycol seems to be favored instead, these are some sort of alcohols too, aren`t they? Hopefully someone with more insight will chime in. I...

I my area even though the business has been declining over the years a "Mangelstube" where you drop off your washed linen like in the video or a coin laundry equipped with a "Heißmangel" is still easy to find. My mother (she`s in her 80s) uses the drop off service for large items like sheets...

Considering the large amounts of potentially toxic scent chemicals released into the environment just for a very brief moment of happiness and pleasure when a fragrant cloud of steam hits your face as you open the DW door after a cycle finished it seems irresponsible that scented DW detergents...

I suppose for many of us life won`t be the same anymore when the day comes to an AW without Robert as Webmaster. But nothing in life we take for granted will be forever and everyone understands if a beloved hobby has slowly turned into work or maybe even a chore then it`s time to move on...

"Thailand takes it a step further and has their own plug type "O" plug which is a hybrid of the US NEMA 5-15 but the the round pins and spacing of the Euro plug" Apparently they`ve come a long way since I`ve been there 25 years ago. I remember those hybrid outlets but haven`t seen one with an...

I was wondering if there might be a logical explanation behind like "customer surveys found out that the majority of consumers are too lazy or too ignorant to shake out clothes before transferring them into the dyer or hanging on the line so we decided to reduce the final spin speed of the...

My Bosch heatpump dryer`s wool cycle takes only 6 minutes too. It`s not meant to dry anything its only purpose is to fluff things up after line drying or "flat" drying because wool is very susceptible to mechanical agitation and thus might felt badly if dried in a dryer. If I had an expensive...

Had to look it up first to see what it is about. Kind of reminds me of those plastic covers for couches and lamp shades which by the way never seemed to have made it to Europe even back then when it was still considered perfectly normal for everybody to chain smoke in their living rooms.

Had it been a French or German ad in 1967 I could even imagine her breasts showing in the picture *LOL*

The crazy look in her eyes just perfectly complements her style. Love it! If you think about it, many print ads and record covers were actually quite daring in the late 60s and 70s. Some would be unthinkable today. Also the phrase "We call Dash the little giant" caught all my attention...

My duvet is 100% polyester and the caretag allows to "boil" it in the wash but to dry it only on low heat in a dryer. The one I`ve had before allowed a hot dryer but low heat makes more sense to prevent scorching or maybe even to start a fire because chances are high to overload a dryer`s...

I think most if not all Bosch dishwashers might suit your needs as there is an accessory called "Sprinkler Head" that you can use instead of a top rack. It gets attached at the back wall where the water would normally enter the spray arm...

Launderess, you could use the net thing from the picture in reply #10 you posted (middle row on the left), or just an old sock, a small laundry net or similar to use up the rest of your pods stash. As long as they don`t get a chance to get caught in the door boot there won`t be a problem with...

I suppose it should be dosed over the detergent drawer and thus it has a rather low (watery) viscosity, which again would make it ideal for automatic dosing systems? For manual dosing I wouldn`t be too fond of the measuring cup which apparently needs to be rinsed out after use, the regular one...

It's the dose that makes the poison While a lot of non UK detergents marketed for sensitive skin contain enzymes it should also be taken into account that some TOL detergents like some variants of Henkel Persil or even those Spanish Formil Pods from the other thread must have an allergy warning...

As some may know already from another thread I'm in Spain right now. Just checked the care tags of my hotel towels and they come with "iron at medium temperature" instructions! The terry cotton loops are rather short though which might make the difference. I actually checked for the washing...
