    Using STPP

    Now that I have been using the stpp on my loads, it really has been working very well. The clothing come out with similar results as with the Persil pearls. Persil pearls clean so well that now I am wondering if there are phosphates in it. No where on the bottle can I nor my husband find where...

    Using STPP

    hi all I did some more loads with the stpp and I am loving it. Even the colored load looks so much better. Things start to look new again. They also feel cleaner. I don't think it's all in my imagination. I did use half the stpp this time from my first load. So its about one ounce stpp. No...

    Using STPP

    stan and gary Thanks so much for the advice. You may have a point there. My washer is fairly new, however there still may be a build up. I am using the unscented arm and hammer as I mentioned above for my kids with sensitive skin. I use tide liquid for the rest and Persil pearls for the whites...

    Using STPP

    Hi, Cheryl I actually did not do any other loads yet. Saturday is my day off from laundry. I was so happy with the results however I had to re-rinse everything once they were dried. As I was folding the laundry my hands started to feel very irritated as if a burning feeling. I realized that I...

    Speed queen proplem

    My technician was actually at my house for another issue and noticed my tub leaning more to the right which was causing the water in the tub to be uneven all around during washing cycles. He therefore actually unleved the ouside housing which created the tub to be more centered. It is about 97%...

    Using STPP

    hi stan I just looked it up on speed queens website. The average water consumption per load is 24.3 gallons. I guess each time it fills is about 12 gallons. I have no idea how to do the calculation for the stpp. Would you know how its done? My daughter's load just went into the dryer. I used 2...

    Ok. I got the water level hardness for my area. It's 3-4 grains per gallon, and 60-70 parts per million. Anyone know how to interpret that I would appreciate it. Can anyone advise now on how much stpp to add to my top loader speed queen? Thanks again to everyone!

    Using STPP

    Thank you Cheryl for all your advice as well. I truly appreciate it. I do also stop and soak on heavily soiled loads. I guess you are using a powdered detergent if you are able to premix. I am using a liquid so I guess I can't premix. Just curious what detergent you are using? I do use liquid...

    Using STPP

    Sorry for the misunderstanding. I was asking for an amount of stpp in my standard speed queen washer. Not a standard amount of stpp. Just thought maybe someone out there who uses a standard washer and stpp could give me some guidance. I guess it goes by my water hardness. I am new to using...

    Using STPP

    Is stpp safe to add to laundry detergent for people with sensitive skin? My son has very sensitive skin and I cannot use detergents with enzymes for his laundry. I use arm and hammer unscented. Now that spring is here he loves to play outside and gets very dirty. I was wondering if stpp can...

    Maytag Performa Washer (or Dryer) cutting clothes....

    Through research, I think I found the problem. On my speed queen dryer, there is a gap around the inside front panel and the dryer cylinder where the felt goes around. So much so, that I can actually get my fingers in there. I had no problem putting an undershirt in that space to test it. I...
