    Anyone using a specific detergent because..

    As does All Free & Clear Wasn't it the 80's & early 90's that Cheer used to advertise the lack of OBA's in their products? I think they advertised it as the detergent to go to for fade free washing. I remember that.

    How about old furnace is still in use

    Way Back When.... When I was growing up one of my earliest memories was of a thermostat just like this but branded "Iron Fireman" in our house. I think it was installed in the house in the 1940's.

    Anyone using a specific detergent because..

    I had meant that it was Cheer that added the OBA's back in all their own detergents rather than all detergents on the market. Plus add the fact that some "models" of of detergent aren't sold everywhere, it makes it harder for find one. Can anyone even name one detergent where it has been...

    Anyone using a specific detergent because..

    I've been down this road before. It's very difficult if not impossible to determine for sure which detergents don't contain OBA's. Cheer advertised a few years ago that they didn't have OBA's but then they added them back in all their formulas. Maybe there is something more exotic out there...

    I'm disgusted

    That small kitchen shown above is very close to what we have. In ours we don't have that cubby the vac is sitting in and we have a 12 inch counter immediately to the left of the stove but before the refrigerator. For us, it's barely workable. In our last house the kitchen was 29ft x 15ft lined...

    How about old furnace is still in use

    There are lots of old 50s Lennoxes and Waterburys still running, the shame is the older furnace men have either retired or died and the first thing a new so called tech does is say its old and not safe, scaring a elderly homeowner into changing it to a new POS that is not a tenth as good. Yup...

    Let's Talk About Heating Shall We?

    We had a condo one time that had electric baseboard heat in each room. You could turn on and off each room as needed. So we could keep the bedrooms cooler than the living room, very comfortable. If I remember it wasn't that expensive to run. But then again that was in the late 70's. It even...

    Which dishwasher is the best for cheese enchilada and guacamole removal?

    I think high heat hot water and a good detergent are the keys to this problem. Our Maytag would make easy work of that. We never prerinse anything and are always satisfied with the results. But then again we select boosted heating and Sani-Rinse options when cleaning these kinds of messes.

    Let's Talk About Heating Shall We?

    A cracked heat exchanger in a hot air system or any system is bad news and keeping a working CO2 detector is a must for every home, just like smoke alarms. AND we should check all of them as the time changes back within the next week. This is exactly right. An ounce of prevention as they say...

    Let's Talk About Heating Shall We?

    In the three story den they have about 9 vents in the ceiling where the a/c and heat comes out. And three 25x30 media filters in the walls down in the den near the baseboards. SO the air gets sucked in from the den, processed through the system and exits out the ceiling. The den size is about...

    Let's Talk About Heating Shall We?

    Some friends of ours have a very large home that has a den with a three story tall ceiling in it. One each of the three levels going up the walls are open to the rooms on each floor. The effect is that you feel like you are in Grand Central or Union Station train station. The house is zoned into...

    Status Of Common Direct Drives

    I believe that number of units. When you count all the brand names the DD's were sold under. I think parts for these will be available for at least the next 25 years or so.

    1980? Lady Kenmore Dryer Electronic Fabric Care

    Is this one of the "filter on top" models? If so, it may last forever. I have a 1993 WP Electronic Dryer, electric. I have never had to replace anything on it. Even the light bulb in the drum is the original. The only think I do to it about every three years or so is take the cover off and...

    Creme de la creme...

    I never would have guessed that photo was made with a phone camera. It's like a fabric explosion of a fruit punch! Cantelope, Lemon, Lime, Blueberry, and even a Pomegranite!

    Making an Apple Crisp

    Rub some lemon juice on the apples after you peel them. They'll last a lot longer without turning brown.

    Creme de la creme...

    Photo #1 is almost a work of art1 All those colors with the absolute proper lighting. I'd enlarge that photo and frame it and use it as a laundry room artwork! What kind of camera did you use for that photo?

    Making an Apple Crisp

    Have you ever tried mixing Apples? Like using two Red Delicious and two Granny Smith's? It gives a boost in flavor that is quite nice. I love Apple Crisps. just make sure you mix them up before using in a pie or crisp.

    I wonder how many Whirlpool/Kenmore DD washers were built? It must have been in the millions of units. They were very popular.

    Latest new ban coming soon

    I remember the plastic beads in a facial scrub that I used to use in High School. I think the product was Noxema Multi-Scrub or something like that. It sure did get rid of any excess oil on your skin. In fact, your skin would become rather shiny when you were done with it. But it really did keep...
