    spray rinse

    reply to frigilux I have been doing the same as you...I fill on warm or hot in the heavy duty cycle and then move to normal/eco. I rarely use fabric softener, so this is not an issue for me. There is not a shortage of water where I live, but the cost of my sewer is horribly high. I try to...

    advantage of additives in detergents

    If a person has a conventional top load washer (Speed Queen), is there any advantage to using anything other than an "original" formula of a liquid detergent? Does Tide Hygienic Clean perform better than original Tide in a washer that uses a lot of water to both wash and rinse? I'm thinking...

    Speed Queen suds/drain issue

    I have a 2016 AWN432 and my SIL has a new TC-5. We both have an occasional problem with suds coming out of the top of the drain pipe around the drain hose when using the normal/eco cycle. We both are detergent misers and are not using too much detergent and we both use HE products. Does...

    Party Line Telephone Service - Tell Me Why

    party line time line Rock Hudson and Doris Day were party line neighbors in NYC (Pillow Talk)in 1959 and the Ricardos were on a party line in "I Love Lucy". I doubt that party lines were gone by 1930 in NYC. TV and Hollywood wouldn't have used them as story lines almost thirty years later........

    best for removing body oil

    thanks for the quick responses I have a Speed Queen top loader which allows me to use hot water. I rarely use cold water for anything. From the great tips I have seen here in the replies to my question, what I think I need to do is use additives and allow the linens to soak. I usually use...

    Using your dishwasher as a waterproof safe

    water tight? During the flood last year that destroyed everything in my lower level, the dishwasher filled with muddy flood water. The door was latched. I wouldn't depend on any dishwasher being water tight.......

    tl tub indexing the tub indexing will eventually stop.....both of mine did that in the beginning, and stopped indexing with use. (I only had to replace the first one because my basement was flooded with muddy river water last year). I had the first one seven years and not one repair. Gotta...

    Do you Wash, or Worsh

    wash or "worsh" Say what you want about Speed Queens, but don't judge us unless you own one or have owned one..but...back to the Queen's English...and that's exactly what it is...many of the pronunciations that folks make fun of are simply carryovers from the Elizabethan Era. Many people who...

    Odd vintage electric center?

    round jack The round jack could also possibly be an early telephone jack. Before 4 prong jacks and then later the modular jacks we use today, the Bell System used a single pole plug for extension telephones. I'm not sure about this being a jack, but it's likely.

    New Speed Queen washer question

    manual/electronic controls I just bought a Speed Queen TL AW432 that still has mechanical controls. The hot water temp is what your tank delivers and the warm is a 50/50 blend. The normal/eco cycle is all cold except for a brief spurt of whatever temp you choose. It comes at the end of the...

    New Speedqueen TL

    is it necessary to replace the machines? The "water" that stood in my machines for over 24 hours was mostly mud, so I replaced the machines. There's a big difference between water from a broken supply pipe and muddy river water that contains who knows what in it.

    Hello again & thanks!

    welcome to SQ world. I've had mine six years (still mechanical controls and I raised the water level). It replaced a 32 yr. old Maytag. I have to say I love the way it washes and I especially like the higher spin speed. My only complaint is the "warm" setting in winter...it's not warm. (the...

    When were the last Caloric ranges?

    last Caloric I bought a Caloric gas range in 1994, after being without power for a week during a snowstorm. The 1972 GE P7 range had to go! The Caloric had the UltraRay broiler. I didn't like the broiler, but the stove was great.

    going green - eco cleaning products

    green products I don't subscribe to Facebook, either. (and won't) My floors were refinished the same way 22 years ago. I clean them with vinegar and water also on the advice of the floor guys. The reason offered was that if a person uses oil based cleaners and at some point the floor needs a...
