90+% of wear and tear to clothes occurs on the body. You sit on your clothes, rub fabric against your skin, it gets snagged against rough surfaces, squeezed, pressed, pulled - it all happens whilst and depends on how often you wear them. Then there are your body excretions, oils, acids etc. -...

Primitive and ridiculous - thank you for the compliments. Keep them coming and I am very grateful for your input.

The cart collectors take their vehicles on public roads as well. They scour neighborhoods for stray trolleys; not only the shopping center car parks. The tractors and trailers are registered with number plates. I approach the trolley collectors with caution and fear. It's the only way to...

I agree, my washer is primitive, because it doesn't play tunes, have flashing lights, doesn't sense anything, doesn't communicate with my I-phone, doesn't give me error codes, doesn't have an on-board heater and doesn't come with umpteen dozen specialty cycles that I have no use for. It doesn't...

In less affluent suburbs carts are left standing around anywhere. Usually they end up clumped together curbside in front of apartment buildings, as people walk to their local supermarket and then cart their shopping home. There are cart collection bays in the shopping center car parks and the...

Cart or Trolley In New Zealand they call them trundlers and if you have 6 you'd call them sex trundlers.

Hardly anyone here uses Aldi carts. Shoppers usually get their carts from Coles or Woolies, which are usually located next door and that do not require coins, to shop at Aldi. Here Aldi carts use one and two dollar coins and Aldi also sells key ring tokens that can be used. However, its a pain...

Dreamclean asked if there was a noticeable difference with wear and tear between the SQ top and front loaders. I felt that I could answer that concern, because I own and use a top loading SQ washer. BTW, ever so often I receive visitors from, or I go and visit family in Germany, who own German...

It's also not the worst option and it works just fine. Ask yourself how did people manage in the past without allergen cycles?

I have a family member who suffers from multiple allergies and hay fever. My washer does not maintain 140 degrees over 30 minutes, however, my dryer does. We are managing just fine.

The Speed Queen has flexible vanes and does not inflict noticeable wear on clothes at all. However, it is still important to sort clothes and choose an appropriate cycle. Following the manufacturer's user guide and instructions helps get the best results as well. Yes, the Speed Queen only has...

That Speed Queen model was my daily driver for over 20 years. It was bought in the late 80s. At the time we were tossing up between that Maytag model and the SQ. The SQ got the thumbs up for the stainless tub and the higher extraction speed. I was very satisfied with the SQ and replaced it with...

It won't run when the drawer is extended out?

Ooooh, Time Tunnel!!!!

This article is a joke, right? My advice - "stick to tablets and I-pods." I love how these entrepreneurial types always want to 'change' things they know nothing about. Let alone take into account what consumers really want. We must quickly and unequivocally acknowledge, that these...

Don't thank me, thank the person(s) who discovered this and, in all likelihood, they, whoever it was, probably burnt their fingers during their intrepid quest for a clean iron. I honestly don't know how people come up with (obscure) stuff like this, but it works and becomes an invaluable service...

I looked at those when I came here in 1980, but felt that the program options didn't allow for the same operational flexibility of other, less expensive, machines with electromechanical controls. How do you select warm wash? Do you touch both hot and cold pads simultaneously? When I moved out...

However, be careful not to burn your fingers. There are vids on youtube about this.

" Is there some chemical reaction?" It cleans the sole plate and creates a little smoke in the process. I think it must be the binding substance that keeps the tablet together and melts when exposed to high heat. That is what lifts the dirt off. You can watch the tablet liquefy as you rub it...
