Ammonia and shoes Sorry, mrboilwash / Stefan: I have been imprecise. I use ammonia on the interior of the shoes to clean and deodorise, I just apply it with a sponge on the inside of the shoes and then let them dry.

Ammonia again Ammonia is actually alkaline, but not enough to be able to cause damage, I personally consider it very safe for everything from laundry, to shoes and floors, but of course it has to be diluted. But with ammonia you must be aware of the concentration: 25% is really, really strong...

Ammonia? Why not trying ammonia, mrboilwash / Stefan? It is good with grease and odours, and it does not harm anything

Off topic: names and nicknames Combo52 / John (and all the others) it is true that your name is John, but not all the members here know that. Calling you by your nickname just makes it easier for the reader to follow the discussion, it is not out of disrespect. Personally, I hate it when...

"Stupid" Miele I have been pleasantly surprised that my new Miele washing machine does not even try to be smarter than me: apart from the "Automatic Plus" programme, there is no load detection, programme adaptation, or anything like that, just an additional rinse in case of excessive foam...

But is it really Artificial Intelligence? I have some doubts, because Artificial Intelligence needs lots of processing resource (powerful computers, I mean) and I do not see such extensive processing resources placed in a washing machine made on the cheap. I strongly suspect that it is just...

That's an interesting observation... ...thank you, although honestly I doubt that after a wash at 85° the few minutes of steam can sanitise much, but next time I will check what temperature is reached

More surprises... My new Miele washing machine is a continuous source of surprises. Today I wanted to try the "Maintenance / Clean Machine" programme, just to see what it is about. When the "Maintenance / Clean Machine" programme is selected, the Quick Power Wash option is activated; I...

Reply #4 - Who ever uses all Miele options and extras? Me! And that's how I discovered that there is a lot wrong with that

Reply #14 - henene4/Henrik I have no problem believing you that in appliances there is much worse, and that I haven't seen that worse, but I meant in my domain that is not appliances. Where I strongly disagree with is your "unfortunately": I feel lucky not having seen that sort of software, I...

Update As I wrote in a previous message, I have found some even more bizarre behaviour of the washing machine. The Miele engineer has just left, he has been unable to address any of the issues, he told me that he has never seen anything like this and he will be back for a software update (I...

Quick update So at the end Miele will send an engineer tomorrow, Monday the 27th of May, and in the meantime I have found another error in the settings of the washing machine. I am not very happy: if this is Miele quality...

I just wonder... My dishes and clothes are clean even with the regulations we have in Europe: does this count?

Rust! Picture number 3 clearly shows that the problem is rust, which suggests that either the paint process has been incredibly cheap, or something went wrong with the same painting process. I am afraid that just one or more touch-ups would not stop the problem from getting worse and worse

Screws I have taken a look at the AEG spare parts website, and it seems that there is only one type of paddle that needs a screw; for this type of paddle, the screw is sold together with the paddle. However, if AEG uses a sealed drum (as I think they do) there would be no way to access the...

Software quality? Thank you bewitched/Marco, it seems that your experience confirms that there is something wrong with Miele's software: if have been able to solve only half of the problem... However, with the appreciation for the customer service, 4 machines in 8 years is quite an...

Update Thank you very much for all the replies and suggestions. Yesterday I sent to Miele a video showing that the "Settings" menu does not contain the "Welcome tone" menu item. This morning I have received a call from Miele by a nice lady that addressed me in English but also spoke Italian...

Replies #1 and #3 I try to clarify, henene4 / Henrik: - the machine is brand new, it has been purchased from a Miele specialist here in Munich - the seller ordered the machine for me, so the machine came straight from Miele's warehouse to my flat - I have taken a look at the user's manuals...

So I have decided to replace my old washing machine with a brand new Miele WEG375 WPS. The machine plays an annoying tune when it is turned on or off, and I want to silence it. The user manual states that in the "Settings" menu there is a "Greeting tone" menu item where I can set the volume of...
