Might be worth trying Ammonia is a good degreaser and deodorizer, and it is cheap. Once used, it evaporates and leaves no residue (ammonia is a gas). Maybe a bowl of ammonia inside the fridge would cause the vapour to pass through the ventilation system and helps solving the issue. Maybe...

Please @dj_gabriele, do not mention the bidet, OK? How I miss a bidet!

"Clay" in laundry detergents A few years ago, if I remember correctly, in Italy a detergent (I cannot remember whether it was liquid or powder) was advertised as "2 in 1 with fabric conditioner" and the advertising stated that it contained "sweet clay" ("argilla dolce", don't ask me what on...

Did they listen? My Yahoo! mail has reverted to the earlier version...

Liquids? When I was living in Rome, in a furnished flat (well, sounds better than it was) suddenly I discovered that the drain pipes were all lined by a sort of thick layer of a strange thick greyish grime. When I connected my washing machine, which was a water-hog top loader, the pressure and...

No fade, don't worry I have been using "gentle bleach" for years (how I miss it!) and it does not fade colours at all. Moreover, as far as I know, it does not affect enzymes or detergents: I suggest you to try adding at the beginning of the wash when you add detergent. And just in case...

"I will never understand... ... the way some people prefer unscented" Some people (me, for instance) simply find synthetic fragrances disgusting, whether in laundry, personal, or household products

Yes, I am... sure that I am NOT using the 100% of the capacity of my washer. And honestly speaking I couldn't care less: quite often 100% capacity means poor washing, poor rinsing, and too much tangling

Data plate I notice that the data plate of the machine is in German, but it shows the word "motore", which seems Italian for "motor", or am I missing something?

It is quite a suprise... ...but this time I agree with Yogitunes (just kidding, no offence meant :-) ) Thank you, Tom

I am a bit surprised... I would have not expected that these old Fiat cars were so well known in USA, where they have never been sold, as far as I know (by the way: my mother had a Topolino, the "C" version to be precise: how on earth do you know that old car, sudmaster?). Is it because your...

Liquid non-chlorine bleach As far as I can remember liquid non-chlorine bleach works very, very, very well: it releases more oxygen than sodium percarbonate even at low temperature just for the agitation (hydrogen peroxide is not very stable) and it does not lower the PH that much, hence it is...

I am missing a lot... Honestly, I cannot understand what seems to me like an Anglo-Saxon obsession with bacteria. Considering that bacteria are everywhere, even if "as many as one million bacteria found in just two tablespoons of wash water" seems like a scaring lot, I am not sure it is a...

"Stain" cycle (or "stain" option?) As far as I know, the idea behind the "stain" option in AEG machines is that the stain additives do not allow the enzymes to do their job properly, hence the additive is added later in the wash phase when the water temperature is about 40°C (about 104F) and...

I am missing... ...the usefulness or advantage of this "double-knock opening". And what if all the cabinets in the kitchen have handles? Am I expected to double-knock to open any drawer or door in the kitchen?

Honestly and cynically A few dollars per year for a reliable, well-maintained, always perfectly working, and ads-free website are a more than fair effort, in my opinion. And I intentionally do not mention the fun and pleasure. But I also like the fact that the website is also open to...

Swirling extra spray arm Although surely the advertising is at least confusing and misleading (and it is Electrolux speciality to provide confusing and misleading information) the real goal of the swirling spray arm is not exactly cleaning better or faster, but rather beign less "sensitive"...

I know you will hate me for what I say... ...but you kitten is nicer than your washer :-) No offence meant, and of course compliments for the achievement!

Energy rating? As far as I know washing machines (and dishwashers) are rated using a cycle specified by the manufacturer. Usually this cycle is well hidden and no one ever uses it :-/ Am I wrong?

My compliments! Very nice machine! Wish you lots of fun (and clean landry...)[this post was last edited: 7/3/2013-03:33]
