I use Acè or OXyClean

Hi Stefan! That is what I wanted to say! Grüße aus dem "schönen" Leverkusen - Ralf

Hallo Stefan! Ja, das Problem mit der deutschen Angst kennen wir ja zur Genüge... Manchmal ist es angebracht, meistens weniger... O.K., O.K.....English again! But...actually....why? German is such a lovely language - and I mean it earnestly! The thing with the tabs is the following: They...

sorry wasn't here for quite a while... Well I keep our Somat powder in a round plastic container with srew lid that can hold about 2 kg and just pour it into the dispenser from there... Ralf

Dishwasher detergent I do not use tabs because I cannot dose them and our machine needs 1/4 of the total amount for the pre-rinse (pre-wash) cycle, but I never used anything else than SOMAT since my first dishwasher in 1984! And for Keven I have to add to the given information about his ex and...

Ariel I use only Ariel powders and liquids constantly since 1986. Ralf

what happened... They're all gone - like all good things nowadays! Didn't you know, we're living in the "pseudo-era" where things are no longer what they pretend to be! It's all design covered rubbish in truth! Ralf

Air Dry Cycle Sorry, but I do not understand what that Air Dry Cycle does and means... Ralf

Ted Haggard I'm glad that people like him are unknown here in Germany and as far as I know in Europe altogether! Guess, they've died out during the 1970s here! I can only recommend again: Richard Dawkins The God Dilusion! One of the best books I've ever read in my life! Ralf

thanks Thanks soooo much - that was really nice from all of you and gave me a strong push upward again right now here in the office on Fridaymorning 08:45 h - will keep your hints in my memory and try to act as you advised me. Well, Keven, Cologne is THE center-city of Carnival in Gemany...

Life can be so hard and unfair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Two days ago we all in our office got the information that our branch of the company in Cologne is closing down! So, I'm out of work...again... Well, my mate and I are rather down, as I'm already 46... And all that to the beginning of...

facts from Germany I'm just giving my experiences and knowledge to that topic. In the Olde Days, I found in books and have heard during my childhood time (1960s), women instisted on a hot rinse first (mostly with SIL, which was a rinsing agent with STTP, brightening agent and oxygen-bleach...

GEEEEEEETTTT IIITTT !!!! That's really worth it! Someone MUST get it - Twinnies are the best washers in the world ever built!! Ralf from Germany

Yeah! That's a nice machine!!! Interesting technique, as not the agitator moves insiede the bowl but the whole bowl moves back and forth avoiding the cicumstance of water-proof seals at the bottom! Ralf

but.... ...that is only 1/3 of what the machine could take! Isn't that a waste of powder and energy? Or is it because it's a no-iron/wash'n'wear/perma-press-cycle? Ralf

Ricky5050 That was my first dishwasher - the MIELE G 579! Ralf

bajaespuma Sorry, but have to correct you I do not know how it was in other countries in Europe (except in Britain, as I have books from there - Laundry Bygones for example) but in GERMANY we all had laundry-rooms, called Waschküche (= washkitchen) in the basements or in a seperate wash-house...

Soft water Ross, I can fully understand you as I remember quite well my time in Andalusia/Spain where water is so dreadfully hard and before I used to live in areas with soft water throughout my whole life. Here in Leverkusen we have very soft water which comes from the big Dhünn-Reservoir, 15...

forgotten conditioner I usually do not use conditioner, except sometimes on some acrylic jumpers that build up static cling otherwise... So, if I were you: I'd just forget about it!

Ours... We use - ARIEL POWDER for whites - ARIEL LIQUID COLOR for coloureds - PERWOLL LIQUID for woollens, silks and delicates - TIDE (rest) for Laura's (dog) blankets and cushions - DOWNY/LENOR (rest) for synthetics - OXY CLEAN (oxygen bleach) for whites and stains - AZÚL (spanish blueing)...
