For what it's worth... I remember my grandparents using Dreft to wash their dishes back in the 60's.

Now for the difficult part: ...I've had a hard time trying to find the manufacture date for my machine. The Maytag club website was confusing. I also contacted Whirlpool, who had no information for me. My machine had a foot activated actuator for the wringer, which I bypassed. Does anyone...

Thank you... ...for all your interesting insights on porcelain tubs. Launderess, I particularly appreciate and enjoy reading your thorough information! Here is the basis for my original question: Last week I acquired a like-new Maytag wringer washer. The machine is nearly immaculate...

Are there any possible situations where modern powder or liquid laundry detergents, used normally and with no other additives, can damage a porcelain tub?

Another view... Interior shot.

I picked up this machine today for 50 bucks! It's all original with no touch-ups. As soon as I bypass the wringer safety actuator, it'll be ready to go.

Great sauce! Thank you for posting this recipe! My go-to jar pasta sauce is usually Mid's Italian Sausage, found here in Indiana at either Kroger or Marsh supermarkets. It's good, but this sauce recipe is better. I made this recipe (minus the green peppers) Friday afternoon with angel hair...

Were all Maytag N2LS wringer washers equipped with pumps?

I'm old enough to remember when Listerine antiseptic was touted as a cure for sore throats and dandruff. During my Internet meanderings today, I discovered that people are using their favorite flavor of it for after-shave due to its essential oils acting as cooling agents. They're also using...

When I buy my next car, I hope to find a used Crown Vic or Grand Marquis. My hunch is that a used Grand Marquis, for instance, will have been babied by an older driver and will have low mileage.

Thanks, appnut. It's a dandy!

Our new Amana gas dryer was delivered this morning! The inaugural load of towels was dry in half the time it took in the Hotpoint electric that it replaced.

Back in college in the 80's, the dorm I lived in had Act-O-Matic shower heads from Sloan Valve Co. They had a very powerful stream and gave a really invigorating shower. I need to order one for my house today...

The owner is threatening to scrap this Maytag wringer washer unless someone takes it. http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/atq/2343449109.html

It's way overpriced, in my opinion. http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/app/2316683116.html

Mine is not HE compatible.

Does anyone know of a liquid fabric softener that has the same or similar scent as the new Cheer compact powder?

Ruth Lyons vs P&G (CircleW) My mom used Instant Fels as well! Ruth Lyons famously stood up to P&G by refusing to give up her "50-50 Club" noon time slot on WLW so that P&G could air their noon soap operas in its Cincinnati home market. As a result, P&G dropped its sponsorship of her show...

I made a batch of it and used it for awhile. It worked OK, but I migated back to Tide. I still use a bar of Fels-Naptha as a pre-treater and it works wonders for that. The Fels-Naptha recipe in gel form smells great, though!

Point taken You're absolutely right. I've donated unused/unwanted cleaning items in the past, and I should've done so this time. I'm ashamed. I'll know better in the future.
