    POLL: How much STPP do you add to your FL's detergent?

    There Is Such A Thing As "Too Soft" Water It sure can be and it can cause graying and yellowing just as hard water can. Items can be rough or harsh as detergents are much harder to rinse.  I have soft water in our plant here  but use STPP only on the Extreme soil loads  and then only need 1 oz...

    that machine sold for around 150.00 new And DOES not even have a thermostat. Temp is regulated by turning gas up or down. And it was well before any saftey features were even added. Simplex made ironers well into the late 70s mostly for smaller tablecloths 54 " ect and napkins.  They were also...

    A good brand of detergent is......

    I have used ultra plus (orange box ) for years. I normally use it in the home machines  and  smaller machines, It does a good job on most all the work and is very inexpensive to use. compared with most other brands.  I do recommend it highly if  you have fairly soft water.  It does not do that...

    Tide Coldwater Free HE - 6 tests

    John the main wash is 18 mins our total formula time is about 55 on most loads depending on soil content. I have had a MAJOR problem with the P & G reps. they want (of course ) to use as much product as possible with out a hint as to saving anything. Ecolab rep is wonderful about trying to...

    Tide Coldwater Free HE - 6 tests

    Jon The main reason I choose a 18 to 20 min main wash here is to cut the water and supplies. I found that by using that formula I could use 1/3 less detergent . Sure the increase in formula time is about 8 mins more. but with the amount of detergent saved in a day with the amounts we use here...

    Tide Coldwater Free HE - 6 tests

    Thanks John Below 60 will set some stains like blood just as hot water will unless a alkali is used and most households do not have that available to them. The 95 temp is really close to a perfet wash temp for blood and such stains and is cool enough to be considered cold water too. Was not...
