    What's likely to destroy coronavirus/ COVID-19 and kill the virus?

    To clarify, I haven't seen claims by Biz or other oxygenated bleaches that they kill viruses or bacteria. Biz has Sodium percarbonate (oxygen bleach releasing agent) and enzymes and other ingredients targeted at cleaning and whitening. That's why I'm not convinced they kill everything. For...

    What's likely to destroy coronavirus/ COVID-19 and kill the virus?

    Covid easier to destroy/ kill vs C Diff and MRSA We've been washing clothes as normal mostly cold water with Tide free and clear and warm water and Biz for kitchen rags, cleaning towels, etc. We do rinse rags thoroughly of chemicals before washing. A few years ago one of use had C Diff and we...

    What's likely to destroy coronavirus/ COVID-19 and kill the virus?

    Washing hands with soap and water destroys the cell membrane of most bacteria and viruses and washes them away. Does washing clothes destroy bacteria and viruses in a similar way? I haven't thought much about soap until recently and it's interesting that the soap or fatty acids wedge themselves...

    Insinkerator Evolution Pro Series Garbage Disposal

    ISE commercial Yes, a commercial unit like ISE's LC-50 or stainless SS-100 with commercial motors will outperform the "pro" disposers. Hobart's 120-volt options like the FD4/50 and FD4/75 are impressive too. These weigh a lot more and have much beefier components. Stepping up from base home...

    Insinkerator Evolution Pro Series Garbage Disposal

    Was researching garbage disposal and saw Insinkerator has a pro-line of garbage disposals. I got a Pro 750 it's similar to the Evolution Compact and adds auto reverse. Also has stainless grinders but Evo compact may have that too. Pro models look like a slight step up from the big box store...

    Replacing dishwasher question about drain connections

    Diposer arrives this week, preparing for install Thanks. Disposer is arriving this week and I wanted to make sure I understood the connections before installing. To clarify waster from the dishwasher only backs up into the sink occasionally and running the disposer clears the backup. I also...

    Speed Queen: Loophole in Federal Regs brought back classic TC5

    TR failed so what's old is new again and voila TC5 SQ could have brought out the TC "classic" washer in 2018 but went with the TR line instead. With the failure of the TR line they needed something new or even better something old and proven what's old is new again. As long as the mechanicals...

    Speed Queen: Loophole in Federal Regs brought back classic TC5

    Interesting article in the Wirecutter (now a NY Times publication) about how Speed Queen was able to bring back classic washers. Basically they created a cycle that meet DOE regs but doesn't clean so you just use the other setting and can deep fill which uses up to 24 gallons a load. Similar to...

    SQ sells oversized anti-walk rubber pads where to buy? Thanks, know anyone that sells the SQ sells oversized anti-walk rubber pads? Also, think full-size anti-slip may could help. Riser mounted into concrete would definitely work but like to try a few more things before I start drilling into...

    The Conundrum - Miele Little Giant (PW6068SS) vs Speed Queen (FF7005SN)

    Dedicated tankless for washer vs onboard heat Has anyone installed a dedicated tankless water heater for laundry? I've thought of doing that so I could set it at 140 or so vs the 125 or so I keep the main water heater at.

    Cool water washes lead to bacteria in washer

    Not sure SQ says 1 cup others say 2 cups Not sure SQ says 1 cup others say 2 cups which is well below ratio recommended for cleaning use (bucket of water and mop or rag type cleaning). I use one cup of 5% Acidity Vinegar. FYI Vinegar won't kill bacteria like staphylococcus, streptococcus, E...
