I never use pacs because I like to dose less to avoid etching and dulled dishes. And I have a water softener so I need to dose less than pacs. Cascade powder started etching and clouding my glasses so I switched to Finish powder and it was fabulous. But my box is getting old so it isn’t...

The German Persil gels Are now far more concentrated than they used to be. Now they dose like the American Persil liquid — only need a dab in a FL. Used to be I’d need up to 3/4 of a capful with the bottle of German Persil gel I had before. Fabulous product.

Colored towels? Most likely chlorine bleach will not change their color or change them to white. Hard to believe but I’ve never had a bath towel change color with chlorine bleach. Besides, what difference does it make. Getting clean is more important. Also make sure you’re drying them on...

Clean the inside of the agitator Pull up on the fabric softener dispenser to remove it. Or see You Tube videos on how to do that. Then check the inside of the agitator. It is hollow. And might be filmed with black mold or other smelly slime from detergent and/or fabric softener build up...

I learned how to drive With a 1975 Fleetwood. Parents would not let me have my own car as a teen so that was what I got to drive when I did get to drive. That or Dad’s 1976 Eldorado. No car has ever come up to that for me. Not that I have ever been able to afford a car in that price class...

It’s a real shame to hear That your TG weekend was spoiled with stress over the site going down. ☹️ Burnout is such a real thing in our early 60s. Even though I exercise and take good care of myself, there’s been a sea change and I simply cannot do what I used to do, either mentally or...

Thanks Laundress For all these posts!

Ingenious Love the paint color in your laundry room!

What’s your workaround? Curious minds want to know.

Oh….. Every time I have bought a gas appliance from a big box store, they charged for delivery and installation, and then upon delivery the tech always had a flimsy excuse as to why they wouldn’t install. Every time. And I’ve heard the same stories from others. So I don’t buy from big box...

Inflation and COL then vs now The price tag on those obviously used wringers: $42.50. Assuming that photo is from the mid to late 1950s, then in today’s dollars that would be over $400. Imagine paying between $400 and $500 for someone else’s used washer, and only a wringer! We tend to...

Improvements Saw a YT video of a new SQ FL. Wow! The balancing routine has been greatly shortened with the end result as good or better. And it spins much longer and faster in between rinses. Cool! If there were a way I could download those changes onto the computer in mine, I would do...

Re #60 Since nobody else answered, and this is based on mine which is 6 or 7 years old by now, but the Delicate cycle does tumble slower. There is one water level, to the lip of the tub and slightly spilling over into the boot, for both wash and rinse, on all cycles except Normal Eco, which...

Cycles and options have changed!

Crackpot not crockpot The spell check program here can be maddening sometimes!

Fill Hi Eugene — It fills from behind the drum. From the detergent drawer, the water runs into a tube that pours behind the drum. I thought of something else you need to know. After your machine finishes its brand new honeymoon, it will start making loud clanking/banging sounds when the...

Oh NO! Hopefully that could be a quick one-minute fix! Just trade that screen out with a new old stock unpainted one. Or, maybe your dealer could trade screens out with one of their older floor display models. Done! 😀 Mine never discolored in 7 years. And it’s gas. Hope the dealer gets...

Mmmmmmm! When I lived in Cleveland, Ohio there was a Polish restaurant called Sokolowski’s University Inn. Family-run restaurant. Pierogis, kraut, Paprikash, and all sorts of Eastern European fare. SO good! The line of people standing outside to get in there was often a block long. And it...

Oh, and I don’t know why SQ designed it to dispense Clorox in the first wash fill. Mine is 6 or 7 years old and Eugeune’s brand new one might do it differently. Their prior FL design, the Horizon, dispensed it in the first rinse. In any event, presumably every brand of FL has its pros and...
