Totally agree with Dan, I’d b careful of the paint and mold. White Neon on that Hotpoint sign would look sharp. Barry

What's everyone's opinion of dollar stores, ie. Dollar General, Family Dollar, etc. ?      Recently read an article in the news that some of the food items, and other items as well, contained very bad, toxic, ingredients, esp their house brands.  A couple of years ago a friend of mine went to...

Interesting that they abandoned the burpalator agitator for a filter stream type design but later years they brought it back. I do recall seeing ads that one year they had both, most interesting. Those fins on that agitator are huge. My mother’s washer had the filter stream located towards the...

Hey Everyone, It's spring and I've got weeds and clover grass growing everywhere.  Does anyone have, or use, a homemade recipe that works well in killing weeds?  (In particular, I'm fighting milk weed, with roots that grow to China. Next door neighbors yard is infested with it and is now...

Both of ya all got really, nice machines. I'm envious. Could we get an interior shot of the Whirlpool? That was an excellent washer as well, one of my favorites. I like the console on it also.    Barry

All Free & Clear, sometimes Persil to switch things up.    Barry [this post was last edited: 4/28/2021-08:50]

I'll pass thank-you. With all the members here, esp. Laundress, we could teach him a few things or two. Seriously!! Barry

Rich, you are welcome. I, too, was suprised I had more room, and they look nicer too. Had no idea. Barry

I experienced the same thing with a Kenmore as Bob & David explained. This was the washer before I bought my current 2015 SQ. It was frustrating to always have to use the 2nd rinse on virtually all the loads, Lord-only-knows how much water I used in the years of owning it. Only one 10 second...

It would be easier to ask what agitators I don’t like!! I like any agitator that cleans well and doesn’t beat up / damage the clothes. I think Whirlpool’s Surgilator was really good, since they stuck with it for years, and years. It was certainly a proven design. Also thought Kenmore’s Penta...

Ran across this video on accidently last year and I'm still somewhat gobsmacked. I'm 60 years old and I never knew that there was a proper way to fold bath towels. Serious!! All I knew was that the towels in hotels were sooo nice smelling and clean and folded nicely. So I tried folding them the...

Laundress, you are 100% spot on in your observations concerning P&G's offerings. Something tells me Cheer isn't going to be around much longer, and after the results I experienced certainly can see why, and I can understand why it's getting more difficult to find. After giving much thought, I'm...

My take on Cheer Color Guard: Recently bought some liquid Color Guard and tried it on a large load of white towels with some nasty kitchen towels thrown in. I was NOT impressed, stains remained that I felt should have come out. Had to rewash the load in Persil with a little chorine bleach added...

It will be interesting to see if this ever catches on, especially in Europe. A couple of thoughts: Tide is expensive and not everyone can afford it on a limited budget. I personally have sworn off P&G products, and have for a number of years, as I don’t trust the chemicals they use. Last 2...

Welcome Sarah, Always glad to have new members. Looking forward to reading your posts and input. Barry

Barry, I love a good radio in the kitchen, my grandparents had one and everyday at 4:30 my grandpa would tune in to get the weather forecasts, then turn it off. Radio these days isn’t the same. Barry

Wonderful find. They are almost new!! They should give you many, many years of trouble free washing. I was surprised it had the penta swirl agitator. I thought it probably had the vari flex one, the one that was adjustable. Thought penta swirl came out in 1975, but am mistaken. My grandmother...

Agree with goatfarmer. $170 for a standard capacity machine with few selections on the console seems too high, in my humble opinion. But if you really want it, you better strike while the iron is hot. FF’s are disappearing. Barry

Thank-you for all the posts, sorry for the delay in getting back, holidays ya know. I read each post very carefully. I've eliminated bar soaps last week and switched to a liquid hand soap that I had on hand for right now, Zest. I did buy a large bottle of SoftSoap body wash that I'm anxious to...

Was wondering what bath soaps / body washes members are using, and clean up routines in shower stalls and bathing areas. Also if there has been any issues with soaps and body washes. Currently on a search of switching to something that is easier clean up and not so intensive in scouring my...
