Ah, thanks. How long do the alternating spray arms operate for?

Miele G 7000 Series wash times Regarding the 'Intensive 75°C' programme: How long do the following sequences last, in minutes, roughly? Prewash Mainwash I ask because my scraggy old Bosch - which incidentally I have never been happy with - does a prewash for 20 minutes (approximately)...

Reply #23 That is exactly the sort of incompetence I expect from modern day companies - frankly, it does not surprise me in the slightest. Speaking of cookers... I was looking at Belling's range of cookers. Pretty dire styling now.

Surely that Bosch is approaching 'vintage' status? I'm assuming that is the 'Apexx' series? It looks suspiciously similar to the Bosch 'Exxcel' mid-range over here, so must be well over a decade old by now. The dispenser is of the standard version too. Modern Bosch have the dispenser high up in...

Even worse... The 'Scent of Ariel' version: Polyethylene Glycol PARFUM PARFUM Aqua Butylphenyl Methylpropional Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone Coumarin Citronellol Benzyl Salicylate Linalool Limonene Urea Hexyl Cinnamal Eugenol Methoxypolyoxymethylene Melamine (MW>500000) Hydroxycitronellal Magnesium...

Lenor Unstoppables 'Fresh' Polyethylene Glycol PARFUM Benzyl Salicylate Hexyl Cinnamal Citronellol Eugenol Aqua BHT Colorant Basically a waxy perfume concoction. But they may cause allergic reactions: "Polyethylene glycol as a cause of anaphylaxis"...

Food Protection Trends/Sahai paper "Although chlorine is a well-established sanitizer, we would not expect its presence in a detergent to improve the chances of a dishwasher meeting the prescribed limit. To be an effective sanitizer, chlorine must be added, in the right concentration, during...

Mechanical Dishwashing I came across this - a report from 1999, with an update from 2005: "Methods for ascertaining the cleaning performance of dishwasher detergents" It mentions when the the biological compact detergents put in an appearance: 1990/91...

Swanmaid Apologies for resurrecting this ancient thread, but... I was watching an old colour film from 1969/1970, called 'Some Will, Some Won't'. This film is an inferior remake of the 1951 Alastair Sim film, 'Laughter in Paradise'. Anyway, in 'Some Will, Some Won't', Michael Hordern's...

"why would you wanna wash you’re dishes with bleach?" Two-fold action: to remove tannin stains, and sanitise the dishes. Older powder detergents were highly caustic (sodium metasilicate) and had a chlorine based bleach (sodium dichloroisocyanurate). Good cleaning power, terrible fragrance...

I like the way Kitchenaid has no allegiance to just one 'recommended' detergent - they've effectively 'thrown in the kitchen sink' with three decent sized samples - and included vouchers for a fourth brand! You never see that these days - in fact you're damned lucky to get a couple of sample...

Looking at the 'Techmoan' video - and pausing it - the 'Bob' detergent appears to be as follows: Compartment 1 is apparently detergent, composed of Sodium Hydroxide and Etidronic Acid, with phosphonates and polycarboxylates. However there is no chlorine bleach. Compartment 2 is apparently the...

It is a pity that the multi-million dollar corporations can't see beyond their balance sheets and allow a 'one-off' concession, with one single entity of the store/restaurant being allowed to exist with the 'dodgy' name brand as it is or was. Simply as a goodwill gesture and local tourist curiosity.

Rolls Razor / Rolls-Royce No relationship whatsoever. Bloom just liked the idea of getting a free marketing boost with the 'Rolls' name. Probably if that sort of game was tried today (playing off the reputation of a distinctive quality brand), the perpetrator would no doubt be dragged through...

Photograph #1 There should be two pumps on the machine. According to your photo, the sump unit is white, the larger wash pump is at the bottom left of the picture (a shade of grey), with the white heater box on the right-hand side. The drain pump is smaller, and looks to be at the top of the...

Warm Rinse I remember Hoover-Candy had a 'Quattro' frontloader - I think it was - which had a warm final rinse before the spin cycle. It was supposed to give a better spin efficiency. This was around the time when 1600rpm was still only a 'B' grade efficiency on some manufacturers' machines.

Broadbent spin dryer It appears Broadbent as a company is still operational as part of Broadbent Group. The laundry division is under Vega Systems. Not much Broadbent historical info at all - it's all modern corporate biased. As others have said, spin dryers have gone from their catalogues...

There might be several possibilities... 1: you are under-dosing the detergent, so dirt and soiling might remain in the fabrics leading to the sour smell. 2: you are overdosing, so detergent might not properly be rinsed out. 3: the detergent itself may be the cause. It might be the...
