Am I allowed to say... ...that you have a very cute kitten, Blackstone/Fred?

What's the problem? I have taken a look at a couple of detergents (including the "Kirkland Signature Ultra Shine Premium Dish Soap, Citrus Scent") and I haven't found anything that I didn't already know. What is stated is almost common sense: I surely did not need them to know that fragrances...

Reply #51 - Environmental advantage "the only environmental advantage over pods is no water to be transported and a cardboard packaging instead of plastic" Powder had exactly the same environmental advantage, and it came much before liquids and pods

Was anybody feeling the need for such stuff?

Reply #12 - Give me 5 knobs and a few buttons I agree with you, IIIJohnnyMacIII / John, but such a washing machine would never sell: the average user would not be able to correctly set those 5 knobs and a few buttons, and the machine would be considered "too difficult to use". People do not...

Alternative solutions 1) Under the "File" menu of your browser choose "Save page as..." and then choose "Web Page, complete"; you will get an *.html file that you can happily ignore, and a folder with the same name as the *.html file; open this folder and you "should" find all the pictures in...

Thunderbird and Yahoo! mail My Thunderbird works fine with Yahoo! mail, you just need to follow a procedure that at the moment cannot remember, but it works

He seems to be a fan of laundry soap (which isn't deterg Could it be because he sells that?

Been there... I have worked for several big companies, and sooner or later I have seen this sort of "plans" in each of them, and every time the so-called plan can be summarised as: "waste millions if not billions out of incompetent people and especially stupid and over-paid managers, then every...

Sending trash overseas The reason to send trash overseas is unfortunately simple, mark_wpduet / Mark: it is cheaper than anything you can do here, because trash is sent to countries where there are neither regulations nor controls. On this side of the world, instead, even to send trash to a...

I thinks that this sounds like advertising... ...although I do not know what interests it promotes. It is true that plastics is difficult to recycle, and actually it is rather downcycled than recycled. Nevertheless, at least some of the plastic can be recycled (and some countries are better...

What am I missing? According to Wikipedia "Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVOH, PVA, or PVAl) is a water-soluble synthetic polymer." Now, if it is water-soluble, it couldn't ever produce microplastics, which does not mean it is good for the environment (I have no idea whether it is) but surely...

Not to be picky... ...but this so-called "Laundry Evangelist" sells soap (soap!) for use in washing machines, enough said

Boot twisted Something like that was shown in another thread some time ago, and the only possible explanation seemed to be that something was caught between the boot and the glass door (user error) so that when the machine spun it caused that damage

Reply #36 - The downfalls of tech... Well, Chetlaham, what you are showing is not the downfalls of tech, but the downfalls of poor quality. Because yes, there are good switches that last a lifetime, but unfortunately they are not the cheapest. Then, if what you mean is that "tech" is often...

And thank you once again, Ultramatic / Louis ...for many very enjoyable threads and posts

Now that you make me think about it... I run dishwasher every two or three days, but I run the "Rinse & Hold" program every time I put something in: does this count as pre-rinsing? Because actually the dishes are pre-rinsed when they are washed

Curiosity I think it is inevitable to ask you where have you found 14 driers and four washers, combo52 / John. And even if you are a professional repairman, I am wondering if you plan to resell them (well, I assume you do not have that much laundry to do...). I just hope you don't mind me...

Yves Saint Laurent's quote: "I wish I had invented blue jeans. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes."

Liquid abd powder oxygen bleach Actually liquid oxygen bleach here is recommended for colours (it's called "delicate bleach"): it is just hydrogen peroxide. The problem with powder oxygen bleach (sodium percarbonate) is that when it dissolves in water it produces oxygen (and here we are fine)...
