    Have you ever had an allergy to any laundry detergent?

    You could try a heated mattress pad or maybe one of those Sunbeam heated throws.

    Expert weighs in on quick wash cycle

    I use the quick wash cycle on my LG front loader occasionally for one or two items. The base cycle is 15 minutes but you can add time and even extra rinses.

    ProjectFarm Stain Remover test

    I can't get through any of his videos completely either and do the fast forward thing for the results. He did a good one on non stick pans which I'll have to return to when I need a new one. I didn't much care for his one on laundry detergents because he didn't have enough samples and iirc...

    Have you ever had an allergy to any laundry detergent?

    Sounds like heat rash. You were laying back on the heat pad which iirc the instrx warn you not to do. Same with an electric blanket. Heated mattress pads are a different story probably because they have less wires and don't get as hot.

    I went all electric - Hyundai Ioniq 6

    Congrats on your new car. we could probably get away with one all electric car. I barely go any further than maybe 200 km return more than a few times a year these days. Still would keep the gas for the other vehicle, or a hybrid when it needs to go

    interesting Canadian ad 1963

    Pretty much all the US detergents were sold in Canada back in the day, many still are. What was the one that had a free towel in the box... was it FAB, I'm thinking it was something else though?

    Easy It looks to say Spiralator 500 on the control panel.

    Crown range

    Tom; might also be that they used oven cleaner and destroyed that coating which apparently these continuous cleaners had.

    WANTED: 1959 Frigidaire Refrigerator for Henry Ford Museum

    That will be a great addition. It's been maybe 25 years since I last visited GF village and the Henry Ford when my UK relatives were over. They loved it and the museum. Also want to go downtown and ride the new streetcars and see the newly renovated old Michigan Central station.

    Tupperware files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

    So much competition in the plastic food container business. Every store you go in has oodles of different makes and brands for less. May not be as good and maybe less expensive but price sells a lot more these days I think

    1957 Home in Tallahassee, FL

    I was thinking as well that there was a garage or carport on the left side that has been made into a room. It's the only room with ceiling tiles.

    On the hunt for an electric percolator

    Perc basket flat filter disks are available with a hole for the stem to go thru. My folks had and I still have their GE pot belly perk. They got it when I was a tyke, so probably in the late 50s or early 60s

    The Great Washing Machine Scam

    Jerome I'm interested because you say you are blind or blind to some degree how are you able to see whether your clothes are clean, or more clean using one machine versus another? I have great vision knock on wood, and can see variations sometimes. Consumer Reports uses color spectrometers to...

    Canning bolognese in an oven

    You can't smell botulism, you can't see it, or taste it. I canned stuff in a boiling waterbath for 30 years or more and never took any chances. Everything was sterilized in boiling water and once out of the water untouched by my hands. Not into it anymore. However if have excess sauce like...

    Vintage Amway

    Those vacs look more like Fantoms to me, which were designed by Dyson when he worked at Fantom, before he started Dyson. ? A friend of mine had an Amway wireless intercom in their house back in the 80s. The main console was wood and not bad looking.

    On the hunt for an electric percolator

    I think a cup as to the makers definition is something like 6 ounces which is more akin to a "tea cup" since that's what most people drank coffee from back in the day before coffee mugs took off in the 60s.

    Canning bolognese in an oven

    Yikes No way would I eat it. Bolognese and all tomato based sauces with meat, veggies etc requires pressure canning. Not even water bath canning is sufficient for low acid foods which bolognese is. There is so much room for error no recognized health authority recommends oven canning.

    Are open-case coolers (& some freezers) at or nearing extinction?

    Most of the newer and or refurbished stores here now have doors on all or most of the refrigerated cases. The open top island bunkers seem to be fazing out as well. The smaller footprint store near us, built arounnd 1960, just did all his frozen foods with doors but the dairy wall is still open...
