Misaligned control knob I have to say, that brings back memories of a Hoover (Candy) 'Quattro' machine, circa 2001. The control knob on that went the same way, and it was pot luck whether you ended up with the right programme and soiling level on the first spin of the dial. I believe on the...

"@rolls_rapide I suppose i could just add a scoop of own brand Tesco or Sainsburys 'Whites' booster on top of the Splosh as also suggested by @Foraloysius." Yes, that is what the customer did in the Splosh review, she noticed that it required two scoops worth to get the whites bright again. I...

'Splosh' powder According to their customers' reviews, most seem happy with it. However, one customer comments on their whites being 'very dingy and grey'.

Lidl 'Formil' Bio Powder Lidl's Formil powder has, apparently, recently been reformulated - and sourced from yet another manufacturer. The latest version has the name 'Formil' as straight block lettering. (The previous versions had it as sloping upwards). This new version is made by Persan of...

So, does that come to a grand sum of around €3,000 odd for the two machines? I think an awful lot of folk will just not entertain these prices.

A3156 Autocare 1100 Series Five, Episode One of 'Sorry!' (with Ronnie Corbett as Timothy Lumsden), apparently features this machine. About 5 minutes into the episode. The machine seems to be identical to the pics in Reply #106, above. In previous episodes, there was a Hotpoint toploader...

Bibby possibly plucked the name out of thin air, to make it distinctive compared to the likes of Persil, Daz, Surf and Tide. Or perhaps the 'Pat' name was based on the name of the low-foaming detergent ingredient. Maybe it was patented, hence 'Pat'? They had other soap powders and bar soaps...

I came across this on Ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265613701043?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338722076&customid=&toolid=10050

Cystic Fibrosis "However, they are using Deoxyribonuclease in inhaler form for patients with Cystic Fibrosis. It can't be *that* bad in minor exposures." From Jaybird14's link: Apparently it assists by: "reducing the viscosity of cystic fibrosis sputum." Allowing patients, I presume, to...

Probably based on the fact that laundry soiling is composed of a multitude of different types of dirt, phosphodiesterase is supposed to snip away at the bonds between DNA and the surface to be cleaned. It should work against 'ring round the collar' dead skin cells, sweat and sebum grime. Since...

Spin speed for the Indesit models is 2800rpm. https://markselectrical.co.uk/NISDP429_Indesit-Smart-Pump-Spin-Dryer.html

Indesit... Not quite. The Indesit models (two of them), are still roughly based on the Creda 'Debonair' designs. The motor support suspension is a tad more substantial compared to the Thomas/White Knight/Crosslee design. The Indesit models are made in Hungary - and available to buy in the UK...

Jaguar, but not a Jaguar advert...

I'm sure we've had this sort of conversation about pet hair, a couple of years ago.

"Any other suggestions?" The obvious answer: hoover the fabrics with a turbo-brush before you wash them.

Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate is what used to be the bleaching agent in the old chlorine-based powders. I think it was also used in the old gel-liquids (the opaque white-coloured ones). It gave a lovely aroma of chlorine, and usually tended to whisk away tea/coffee stains in one wash. The modern...

Ah - a single speed pump. That means that when it detects extra soiling and drains the pre-rinse water, the alternating spray arm pattern allows the single speed pump to deliver powerful blasts per basket. Good. On the other hand, if it detects the pre-rinse water being relatively clear, it...

Reply #8 I like the fact that your upper basket spray arm seems to have round holes. Does it spray quite forcefully to the upper basket? I wish Bosch would supply an upper spray arm with a multitude of round holes. I personally think the Bosch rectangular slots, coupled with slow speed...

Could the whining/squeaking be coming from the bearing/shaft seal? I've noticed over the years on different machines, that certain detergents might cause a squeak on one load of laundry, which doesn't always occur on subsequent loads.

Cascade Rinse Aid According to Walmart's enlarged photos, 'Cascade Power Dry Rinse Aid' does have glass protection technology... This time it is in the form of Zinc Chloride.
