Regarding Reply #54: "Playing in the sewer"? One of the most inappropriate, unnecessary, irresponsible and insulting comments I have seen anywhere in a long time. "All of us guys" don't necessarily "do" anything and I don't recall seeing anything in our charter or by-laws that mandates this...

I actually still use Spic & Span powder on my floors and yes, it's only available in hardware stores here in CT. I have tried other products (Mr. Clean and Fabulouso liquids) and they don't compare. Most floor cleaning solutions require rinsing though. So that is a bit of a pain. I also used...

Interesting results. Not surprising that the Rao's, mustard and Frank's stains were not removed by the detergent alone. Regardless of the detergent I have used, those stains almost always require chlorine bleach for complete removal. Unless of course you want to do a whole pretreating with...

Beautiful dishwasher! I recommended the KA 604 model to friends who needed a new machine last year. However, they listened to the salesman who pushed GE Profile so hard that he practically shoved it down their throats. I was so annoyed I wanted to call BS on the salesman as he droned on about...

And don't forget- today is all about the soda bread and brown bread of our Irish brethren, and Tuesday, March 19 is St. Joseph's feast day so for us Italians it is cream filled "zeppole"(also depending on which dialect you speak are called "sfingi") - kind of like cream puff dough with a cannoli...

didn't make anything but I did bring a cherry pie from a favorite local bakery to a friend's house for dessert. This is one of those occasions where they make a better pie than I could - all butter lattice crust, tart cherries. That and a scoop of vanilla ice cream - what could be better?

Some of these products may not have made it out of test market cities so would not have had national distribution. I would guess that was the case with Tide Redi Pacs. I am pretty sure that was the case with Clorox Act back in the 80's. I know I never saw those in Connecticut. And I never...

As frustrating as it is to read this Laundry Expert's ridiculous advice, I have to agree with Dave. All we can do is continue to apply our knowledge and share it in this forum, doing things the right way as we know how. Railing against this fool only builds more frustration and gives him more...

Well, that self proclaimed "expert" - the Laundry Evangelist strikes again. This month's AARP magazine had a short article on how to do laundry. It listed several tips - starting with not overloading the machine, and a few other innocuous items. Then this joker was quoted as advising to never...

Yesterday's weather prevented me from getting my annual paczkis. By the time the roads were cleared from snow and driveable, it was too late to go to any stores . So I will have to be content to wait until March 19 - St. Joseph's Day and make do with a few cream filled zeppole or "sfingi" as...

I've seen this guy before on some talk show or other. Not impressive at all- completely disconnected from reality and tries too hard to be a "personality". And most of his advice is BS. But I guess anyone can be a self proclaimed "expert" today just like everyone is suddenly a "lifestyle...

Interesting they didn't discuss Tide With Bleach Powder. I haven't seen Tide Oxi Powder in any of our stores here. Supermarkets just don't carry more than one or two powder choices anymore and even WalMart and Target here don't have the Tide Oxi Powder. Interesting that the article was...

Family Dollar is similar to Dollar General - lots of junk, prices not great and stores are usually cramped and unkempt. Not worth the effort in my book.

Oddly enough, we still have one AM station that plays music and with live DJs yet. The one I can get here in southern Connecticut is WHLI out of Long Island. It is 1100 on the AM dial but has a sister station at 104.7 on FM. For whatever reason, I can't get the FM station but AM comes in loud...

Eugene, I should have mentioned that the All Oxi powder isn't in every store. For some reason, I have seen it only in ShopRite - but not in Stop & Shop, Big Y or Price Chopper, our other local chains. Unfortunately that doesn't help you in Minnesota. Do you have a Big Lots somewhere near you...

Eugene, glad you are having success with both versions of UK Persil. I might have to try some myself. To your point on using the stain boost cycle on things like marinara or barbecue sauce, one of the issues I have encountered is that anything tomato based is very difficult to remove in cooler...

Am I missing something? The second ad does mention a GE washer (like we couldn't tell from the actual machine itself!!), but the ad was for Tide, not Cheer. So the original post commenting on Cheer ads not showing the actual brand of machine seems correct. Again, though if you were astute you...

Re: reply 37: I can't say that the Wisk liquid looks exactly like it would have when it was "new". But it hasn't separated at all and maybe the fact that they were in metal cans and not plastic jugs was helpful; or maybe they were carefully stored and tightly capped; or maybe all of the above...

Most of my real vintage products have no scent left, but they do work. The only ones that have some noticeable scent at all are a few boxes of Ajax 2 and Cheer, as well as the few cans of Wisk liquid. Obviously the liquid Wisk held its scent pretty well. And those powders were sealed in...

Have to agree - there is almost nothing on today's market that doesn't overpower with scent. I have found that the latest iteration of Tide with Bleach Powder to be less offensive than others. However this Tide scent is still nowhere as pleasant as the original scent when it was introduced...
