Have been trying to replenish my supply of Tide Free and Gentle Powder for a few weeks but wasn't able to find it at any WalMart or Target, and even on line. So I called our dear friends at P&G and they confirmed that the powder has been discontinued - but of course still available in liquid...

Well, regarding dear old Betty and the Westinghouse test - would the fact that the top loaders used had timed fill and possibly a single water supply for the three other machines filling at the same time have made an impact on the results? If true, that may not have had much, if any effect at...

Interesting observation. When we were growing up in Brooklyn, we went to the beach every Tuesday - Thursday during the summer- a two hour bus trip but that's another story for another day. That meant beach towels and bathing suits were washed every day after returning home. We had a 1958 Lady...

Liver is polarizing - no way around that. I can't think of any other preparations for beef or calves liver than frying it with bacon and onions and quite frankly, I won't eat it period. Yet I have friends who won't touch eggplant, broccoli rabe or any beans that eat calves liver gladly. I...

Glad to help!! I hope they can remove those stains. Good luck and let us know what happens!!

If you still aren't able to remove the stains -you may want to consider contacting a company that restores vintage and/or designer fabrics. There is a place in New York called Madame Paulette that seems to be quite well known and does work for museums and designers. Not sure how well they do...

If you mean the new Tide with Bleach powder (TWB) shown in the first posting here, yes, I have started using it for most of my laundry. I think this fragrance is the third iteration of scents with TWB. The first and original was around from its inception in the late 80's up to around 5 years...

I use both the powder F&G and liquid Ultra Stain release versions for my sister's laundry as she is way too sensitive to scents, etc... Also, I use the liquid Ultra Stain release for spot treating since I use a few different products for my own general laundry and don't want to have to have...

That is a beautiful set and in incredible condition. Can you give us a history of where they came from, etc...? Always interesting to know the details behind the find, especially when you see units that are in such great shape. Anyway, I am a sucker for a lighted control panel... Personally...

My bad - - I commented on the washer not the dryer so I didn't answer the question that was asked. Dryer is definitely a Whirlpool as others have already noted. Not sure of the year though...

Looks like a Maytag Performa - kind of resembles a Magic Chef - which I guess it is and is based on the later Norge design...

Apparently that particular product is made by a specific third party producer and that producer has decided it's too much trouble to make any longer. Ronzoni is now part of a group of companies under the same parent company ownership with sister brands like San Giorgio and Prince. I think a...

I too am cursed with an overly sensitive nose and notice that same issue with eggs and raw poultry (chicken and turkey) whether washed in the DW or by hand in the sink. We have soft city water so it isn't the water heater or the water or it would happen all the time. my solution is to keep a...

That pic of the City of Paris tree and rotunda was stunning. Another store famous for its holiday windows was the iconic, and now sadly defunct Lord & Taylor. People would line up on Fifth Avenue for hours just to look. And in typical L&T fashion, someone brought out complimentary coffee to...

Saw the windows at Bergdorf Goodman last week when I went in for the Radio City Christmas Show and they were magnificent as always! Saks flagship Fifth Avenue store still also has beautiful windows and they have the light show on the front of the Fifth Avenue facade across from Rockefeller...

And let's not forget the brief and not so successful 1997 introduction of Jenn-Air washers and dryers. Those were nothing more than rebadged Magic Chef/Norge units but were meant to capitalize on the Jenn-Air name since at that time, Jenn-Air was still considered more upscale. Apparently that...

I definitely agree with the durability comment. I had one of those from 1997-2000 and while it performed well enough, it felt much flimsier than its Filter Flo predecessor, and I didn't notice that it's performance was that much better then the unit it replaced. I ended up with on-going...

Cheer powder is still available on line at WalMart.com at least as of yesterday, so you can order it. However, it smells nothing like the original Cheer from the 50's through the late 80's.

Early Philco Bendix models, like the Automatic and up through the design change of the wash plate, cleaned well. When the wash plate was redesigned and capacity increased, the wash plate was more curved downward like a helmet as opposed to the earlier wavy plates. According to Consumer...

Let's see: poor general washing practices - not sorting, improper water temp, bargain detergents that don't really do anything (but insisting that they are as good as Tide or Persil), excessive use of heavily fragranced detergents, liquid fabric softeners, dryer sheets and scent beads...
