    Interesting view of P&G brands in 1961

    Who knew! That is so cool! I thought that the starch dissolving wrappings were only only a modern thing. It turns out it was well known even in early days! As for Salvo and Vim tablets I'm not quite sure why they disappeared. Probably because the well thinking housemaker of old soon realized...

    used chlorox splashless bleach to "clean" washing machine

    Splashless bleach is thick (often blue) Bleach plus surfactant (synth soap). It's not a good idea to add to put in dishwashers as well.. Every now and then on Facebook's housekeeping groups some people came out asking a devices as they put it in the dishwasher and made a foam party. If it suds a...

    Dishmaster- No Citric Acid Detergent liquid

    To my knowledge dishwasher detergents are usually alkaline, moderately to heavily loaded. Some contains sodium hidroxide other than soda. I think that a dishwasher detergent containing citric acid is quite weird if not as an additive to balance the pH of it. The washing solution will anyway turn...

    My new 1963 Whirlpool Imperial Mark XII set

    Okay thanks. I will ask john even though I think I bothered him enough already! haha I seem to remember reading something about it in the past, I seem to recall it should be half full. But will ask to confirm. And I recall 60w oil, you say 50w. Anyway I suppose it would work just fine the same...

    My new 1963 Whirlpool Imperial Mark XII set

    My old one locked up because of water damage. Still have to open it and I know the more I wait the worse will be. I also will have to replace the shaft but again I plan to move so... Whatever I will leave will probably just not be used so would be "wasted work". I imagined that the transmission...

    My new 1963 Whirlpool Imperial Mark XII set

    What do the "manual" over dial do? Transmission: you probably purchased the transmission from the same seller I purchased mine, he had a bunch on sale for that price. Though yours looks much better than what I got and I was told he would send the best one he had. I also got the camshafts bented...

    Laundry Soap at Target

    Around here tree huggers goes crazy for potassium coconut oil jelly soap. Some companies decades ago came out with this product, it did not caught up much until recently. Because of the "all natural" craze. First as a pretreater and increasingly became popular as a laundry soap Directions...

    Laundry Soap at Target

    Well Stan, the market target of these "green products" is the poor soul with a front loader that uses cold cycles and quick cycles only, "to save the planet". Of course oblivious to know better, or know that yes, natural soaps are good and everything but if they were surpassed by detergents...

    What Is Your Preferred Detergent of Choice?

    Same is for the front loaders/h axis I have. And the others. Also, where I live now we use well water, so hard, and the previous machines used everyday like the GE filterflo or the DD whirlpool I used them in town with city water which was still very hard but not as much as the one we use now...

    What Is Your Preferred Detergent of Choice?

    Whatever powdered with oxygen bleach at least with 15% content, and possibly with few to no zeolites (p&g stuff have max 5%, stuff from Henkel like persil 0%). As long as they have the basic 2-3 enzymes kinds I'm ok. Protease amylase and lipase. Good if there also is cellulase. It helps alot...

    Y'all remember this??

    Oh ok! Thank you very much again! Good because I just did not want to disassemble it all over. 🤪 Plus, who knows where the ball went as I did not find anything laying around and if the cat found it sure played with it and pushed it only God knows where. I thought it was what made it spin but I...

    Y'all remember this??

    Could the ball bearing of the shaft maybe escaped without me noticing be causing this?

    "The Laundry Guy"

    Guess is the typical format where they talk a lot of crap and they basically don't know what they're talking about. They do the same with cooking programmes. Methinks usually these folks are the cousin or a friend with benefits of someone managing the channel and they put them there just to have...
