Thanks Stan! Thanks for the info on the Rinso! The scent in no longer there like you said.

Hot water I totally agree our government sticks it nose where it does not belong!!! You have to use HOT water to get cloths really clean especially with body oils grease ect. Detergents DO NOT rinse out well in cold water. I live in Ohio close to Lake Erie and in winter the water is Cold and...

Costly Cheer !!!!!!! Would this old box of detergent even work as it did when new? I have an old box of Rinso from 1930s still sealed. I often wondered if it still good to use? Any thought?

Top loaders & front loaders? I have a wringer washer I mostly do my wash in. I used to have a Kenmore top loader that I trashed after 20 years. I just bought a Kenmore Elite front loader. I got the matching dryer which I LOVE!! The front loader in my opinion does NOT get my cloths clean as my...

Great Kenmore Washer! Boy o boy that agitator scrubber top brings back memory's when I was a kid my Mom had a Lady Kenmore 1962 model 800 with the same agitator top. I wish I had that pair. Anyway I still have the plastic cup that fits over that scrubber. Enjoy it!!!

Thanks!!! Thank you the THEFIXER interesting article on plastic gears.

Plastic gears? Does anyone know why plastic gears are used? I can't understand why plastic is used in gears?

Downy! I totally agree with Stan about using washing soda like Arm and Hammer washing soda you can find it at Wallmart it seems to be getting harder to find though. Don't be confused with baking soda this is different from washing soda. Downy if used will build up a gel type gunk on the walls...

I want to say to ESTY when I first started to use STPP it cleaned my washer and cloths I think there might have been old detergents in your washer and it may have been in the rinse water (old detergent that is ) just a thought. I would use the hottest water possible in the wash and STPP and...

STPP ? I want to ask does anyone know how long STPP last after the factory bag,bucket or other original container is opened? I read that humid air will destroy or change the STPP into trisodium phosphate. Which I tried in a wash load and had VERY bad results!!! I just found out about STPP and...

Ivory snow scent!! I have to chime in and AGREE with Laundress I also love the scent of Ivory Snow soap which is no longer made. I have a couple of boxes unopened and a box that is half empty of Ivory Snow soap but the powder is light brown colored. I wonder if it's ok to launder with?? Anyone...

Wringer rolls! I have had good luck with sanding the rolls. I read in a booklet on wringer washers to use kerosene this works on all rubber rolls but you need to wash off after cleaning because it will rott the rubber if left on. I never needed to use kerosene but sanding worked for myself.

Jkbff Washers look GREAT! The dryer reverses tumbling action? Wish my Kenmore Elite dryer did that. The washer does but not the dryer. How has the Persil detergents work??

Stan I would love to try your bar soap! I made soap in my high school years over 30 years ago. Let me know how much. I have learned so much from this forum and met some nice people also!!!

Stan You talk about a good soap formula can you share it? I use Zote soap grated and add calgon the new version with zeolites. I may have misspelled that? Or I use STPP which I can't believe how it get items REALLY clean. I have very oily skin and hair so my pillow cases and sheets do not get...

Low density? I also seen the two different types of STPP and avoided the low density. I can't believe the difference in how it cleaned my cloths. I put the water with STPP on my grass ect. I don't want to be responsible for contributing to Lake Erie having a alge bloom this summer. If any...

Perfect! Thanks a million guys on suggestions for a quality dryer vent!

I wanted to ask does anyone know what company makes a strong well built dryer vent? I need the vent that goes through the wall to the outside. I only see cheap plastic or thin aluminum types. Any help would be much apreciated.

Problem solved!!!!! I can't believe you people solved my problem! The person from Germany said the back vent that's where it Is comming from!!!! I had a service man out here twice he could not find anything wrong. I do use HE detergent Tide I use no other additives just Tide HE unscented...

I would love someone to tell me what is going on with my 1 year old washer??? I use this only for towels or bedspreads anything large. My wringer does the rest of my laundry. I have been having a water leak on and off ever since I got the pair last year. The model is a Kenmore Elite front loader...
