"My partner and I have severe night sweats" Philippe, what temperature is your bedroom at night, and what kind of heating do you have? Also if you're using a heavy (especially woven, which allows close to zero airflow) wool blanket, try switching to a lighter/open-knit blanket. We were having...

As long as water usage levels are at Soylent Green (AKA "Energy Star") levels, the spray configurations in DW's won't matter much, or at all. We were shocked to learn the built-in Maytag we adopted with our house uses 1.1 gallons per fill, or 1.3 gallons with the quick 1-hour cycle. So try...

"Clothes are softer simply because they're rinsed more thoroughly in warm water." "Do you have any documentation / data / proof to back up that statement?" Of course. Research allergen studies done on clothing and bedding (dust mite droppings etc), or residual oils/waste matter in baby...

"warm rinses may not have an adverse effect, but clothes seem to feel lighter, softer, and dry better when using a warm rinse, but then again, this could be just a mental thing..." It's not just your imagination. Cold water (for washing and/or rinsing) sucks for cotton, and 90+% of what most...

Anyone know the logic behind this washer's temperature selections? It has Hot/Cold and Warm/Warm, but no Hot/Warm? Offhand I can't think of anything I wash in hot water that I'd want to rinse in cold.

We've never had any complaints on S&S's scent. Used as directed the residual is great imo and disappears within a few hours. Sure beats smelling pine oil for weeks at a time. As with any cleaner, don't overuse it. We use it mainly because it works very well and its MSDS couldn't be much simpler...

Yes. It's all we've used for floor cleaning in the last 30+ years. Harder and harder to find in national chains, but our local hardware stores have always carried it.

No. According to MS XP was included only because its support cutoff date had been so recent.

Ralph, I grew up a few miles from it. It started as an actual lodge for fishermen and other sportsmen, the redeisgn is straight out of Rodeo Dr. So I'm not sure how any decent sportsman could feel relaxed in that environment. The place was in serious need of renovation, and to be fair imo they...

"The lodge at 12825 Ventura Blvd. in Studio City spent two years on an $8-million makeover that exudes a '60s-cool image and banishes all signs of creakiness." Ugh on the redesign imo. Most of the Sportsmen's Lodge's charm was its creakiness.

Our federal government is in de facto bankruptcy, and this kind of nonsense is precisely why. Like 97% of all federal agencies, the DOE in its entirety could disappear tomorrow, and unless you were one of the public teetsuckers you wouldn't even notice. If you haven't seen it, look up the...

True. If you ever wondered why every web browser except Chrome has an option to disable third-party cookies... It's not Google's only attempt at destroying the free and open internet, e.g. their purchase of Motorola (world's largest router manufacturer), their wholesale censorship of Usenet...

"Here's one you might did know: Windows XP with Microsoft Essentials goes to update, can't because it's "no longer supported", and suddenly your whole harddrive becomes inaccessible. Now would be a good time to turn off auto-update." Maybe that's what happened to Robert's host. :)

"Here's one you might did know: Windows XP with Microsoft Essentials goes to update, can't because it's "no longer supported", and suddenly your whole harddrive becomes inaccessible. Now would be a good time to turn off auto-update." The joke can and will only get worse, until the internet is...

"I called the SQ tech support and quizzed (interrogated - lol)the guy" It's what sold us permanently on SQ. We had pre-sales questions and the tech number dialed directly into their assembly plant. Also if it was Justin D. I think he's sold a LOT of machines for his company this way. :) The...

It was only a matter of time until Google pointed us to absolutely nothing except ourselves.

Washman, compare odors from two loads of laundry washed with LCB, one with a spray rinse and one without, and you'll understand why they're important. The simple reason is because no actual rinsing takes place during a deep rinse agitation. None. Residual detergent/bleach/etc is simply...

"Then he somehow heard of the benefits from someone else and tried some and found that it really improved washing performance because, in addition to binding the calcium magnesium salts in hard water, STPP also helps lift soils from fabrics by going after the bond between the two." That's true...

"To everyone, when I offer advice on appliance related issues I do so with experience learned from dozens if not hundreds of real customers that I have met face to face and discussed these issues with. " You're far from the only one. Especially here. You've contributed a lot of helpful and...

"and the extra rinse feature is just plain wasteful" also "The spray rinse is sort of moot when you have a deep rinse in most any TL machine." Guys this amounts to outright disinformation. If this or any feature is "just plain wasteful" it would not survive over a half century.[this post was...
