It is all in the concentration and there is no reason to panic about oxalic acid. Just be sensible when handling the stuff. It is irritating so you get warned when coming into contact with the stuff. Eye protection is advisable but that is also true when using bleach. How many people wear...

Strange The head looks very small in comparison with the body. I'm also surprised that the cat doesn't attack the boy in the first movie. When I had a cat, I could expect to be bitten or scratched when it was moving its tail like that.

Aha, I have a stainless tub so that may suppress the bad odours. Plastic is also a good absorber of perfumes. I tried a strongly scented fabric softener long ago and the dispenser still gives off that smell more than a year later. Big mistake...

Well, I'm using Neutral Color detergent (powder) and that works fine. However, when the box is empty I'll switch to Ecover concentrated liquid (it was on introduction offer so I thought to give it a try). See what happens...

Strange how experiences can differ. I was always a big fan of 95C washing, but I am doing cold washes exclusively for many months now and I still don't have problems with smelly laundry or washer. My laundry is still clean and fresh. How long does it take to develop these symptoms?

Is this a gender issue? It seems that there are a lot of complaints about the scent of fabric softeners here. I am sure that new products are first evaluated by test panels before they are introduced. Maybe the outcome of these evaluations are biased by female opinions? (I know that my mother...

Well, actually I do like the design, but... - This "multiplication" of air happens in every other fan too. - I have never experienced annoying buffeting with conventional fans. - If this compares with jet engines, what does it sound like?

Not only in the USA... When I rented my apartment in the 1980's I had to sign a contract in which was stated that I was not allowed to dry clothes outside. When I said that I found this ridiculous the lady who gave me the paper smiled at me and said that this rule was never enforced. It was...

What television program were you watching? :)

Runs on 110 Volt! I suppose it has been used with a transformer, but is 50 Hz not a problem?

White socks... No. (Planning to seek refuge on an uninhabited island.) I think that the reason why I don't see many integrated appliances is that most people I know live in rented apartments. Only expensive rented apartments come with integrated appliances. In most cases you will have to...

Oh my, I think I have to follow an "inburgeringscursus". Not only do I rarely see kitchens with integrated appliances, but also the caravan joke had to be explained to me! (Don't tell the officials or my passport will be withdrawn.)

I soak everything! Since I do standard cold washing, I let the machine run for 15 minutes before I go to work, then switch it off and switch it on again in the evening so that the cycle can continue until completion. The results are better than I ever expected. The only other adjustment I make...

Hmm, I may have an odd collection of friends, but I estimate that 80% of them have NO integrated appliances!

So, how long does it take to do a cold wash in that AEG? Nowadays I am doing cold washes all the time with my Asko machine, but I have to interrupt the cycle for an 8 hour soak to get good results. (I don't use Ariel Excel.)

Well, while I have no problems with doing laundry in the kitchen, I certainly see advantages of having a separate utility room if you have space for it, but that is not because of dust from the dryer. I think that you should inspect your dryer to see if there is no air leak. I have never had...

You can also use compression fittings. Big advantage is that these are removable, which can be very convenient when you foresee future expansions/alterations: you can e.g. temporarily close open ends with brass disks. Other advantage is that you don't need to apply heat, which is sometimes...

Hmmm, do I detect a bit too strong fear for "germs" in Americans? Most micro-organisms are not much to worry about. They are with us since the first humans walked on earth and we are adapted to live with them and we all have them in our bodies. Our immune system tends to go a bit mad if we try...

Oh Louis, thank you for pointing me to this interesting collection of videos. I want that Ignis Alice dishwasher for a widescreen dishwashing experience at home!
