Mike, correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember that the biological/enzyme hysteria also stems from staff at the Lever Bros factory reacting badly to exposure to high levels of different enzymes - respiratory problems, skin complaints etc. The press got hold of it and made a big song and...

Lovely Hoover single tub http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/112320079669

Something a little more interesting than a modern Hotpoint http://https//www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152451609510

Hi Ben, I had one of these when I first left home in a rented flat. Alongside the 5kg washer we had at the time, it was fine for drying bedding and towels so they weren't hanging all over the flat, which kept the clothes horse free for jeans, t-shirts and the like. I still think that a bog...

That's a good system Tom, at least you still have some kind of detergent in the machine that will shift the bacteria that causes mold to build up

An utterly pointless product and complete waste of money IMO. If you wash properly with the appropriate detergents, you don't need this stuff. The only real benefit I can see is if you care for children or elderly people and have to wash up after "accidents". On the plus side, the Sainsburys...

I believe that was the very last model of Hoovermatic ever made

What does he do at Miele? I can't quite remember - he did explain it to me. I believe he works with suppliers and stockists.

Lavamat_Jon no longer posts on here. His video's were taken down as he now works for Miele and wanted to avoid any conflict of interests at work.

WE in AW are of a different breed Oh I know that - the purpose of this thread wasn't trying to teach anyone to suck eggs, it was purely for information. Don't forget, automatic washer pages come up in google searches, so you never know who might find this interesting. Just for info, my Mum...

I never wipe the door seal after use! I clean it down once a week when I'm wiping the laundry room surfaces down. I just spray a big of regular kitchen clean spray on the cloth and give it a wipe down, nothing major.

been discussed till it's engraved into the earth Indeed it has, but it can't hurt to bring it up again. Especially as it seems (correct me if I'm wrong) that traditional toploaders are becoming rarer and HE toploaders and frontloaders are getting more popular. I imagine it's quite a leap to go...

Hey folks, I've seen a few post recently regarding mold in front loaders and thought I'd offer some advice. As most of our US friends will know, whilst top loaders were the norm for many years in the US, they never really took off in the UK for a number of reasons. When washing machines were...

mold in frontloaders... Just some input from someone who has never owned a toploader (because we just don't have them here!)... I have never ever had a washer go moldy on me. It's become more of a problem in recent years in the UK (never used to be) for a number of reasons. The rise in...

Miele WKB130

Toploaders/frontloaders The market is fairly evenly split between front loaders and HE top loaders. I haven't seen any US style TL's with the agitator up the middle, only HE TL's from the likes of LG, Haier, Samsung, Hitachi and Siemens. Bosch & Miele front loaders are available but very high...

Oh I wondered where Savex was from. I know Dejan has it in Serbia but I don't think he rates it very highly. That makes sense that the French detergents are popular as French is the most spoken language here, along with Creole. My partners Mum uses Ariel powder and Soupline softener when...

As promised, the big bars of soap

Hi folks, We're on holiday in Mauritius at the moment. Staying with my in laws. We had a trip to InterMart supermarket so I got some snaps of laundry detergents. Detergents are a fairly new thing here. Traditionally, people bought huge bars of laundry soap and grated it or cut chunks off to...
