I loved these things. I bought a FriGEmore front-loader in late 2001 when I moved here to my current city and lived in a little apartment. I had the waher and dryer stacked in my utility room which was separate from the apartment out on the balcony. I loved the smell, and the fact that I could...

I left work early this afternoon as I wasn't feeling well. I was craving freshly-made flour tortillas, but didn't feel like leaving the house to pick up dinner. I had the ingredients, so I made some flour tortillas and served them with Taco meat, refried beans, cheese and homemade Pico de Gallo...

I'm glad I didn't "stock up" - just in case this isn't the real deal. After years of importing detergents from the UK and Germany, I've finally decided that I can get equal or better results on my whites using Tide with a separate oxygen bleach at a much lower price. While I'll be...

Not so fast . . . Ater reading this thread last night, I decided to stop by Wal-Mart after the gym early this morning to check it out. My Wal-Mart had Persil displayed on an end cap near the detergent aisle. The display listed three variants - "Power-Liquid", "Power-Pearls" and "Power-Caps"...

Hello All! I came across this set on my local Craigslist and I'm trying to figure out whether or not this washer is one with the recirculation pump. To me, the control panel would seem to indicate that it does have it, but the opening on the lid (how it is off-set to the right) could indicate...

And I Thought Tide Was Expensive in The States . . . I was traveling on business in rural New Mexico earlier this week and popped into an Albertson's Supermarket between meetings to kill some time. They were selling a small bottle of Tide Total Care for $14.99, and I thought they were crazy...

Powder vs. Liquid/Pods Vacbear58 - How do you find the performance of the liquids/pods on whites when compared to full powders? I have heard many say they like to use powders for the whites wash because the powders have oxygen bleach whereas the liquids/pods supposedly do not. Do you find...

I haven't checked in a couple of months, but last time I checked the original Mexican version does have phosphates. P&G has made a version to be sold at Wal-Mart and other stores called "Ariel USA" that comes in a deceptively similar bag. This American version does not have phosphates. Though...

Induction Cooking . . . We had a St. Patty's Day celebration over at some friends' house and they have an induction cooktop. It works very well! I was amazed at how quickly things came to the boil! I'm not sure what my obsession is with gas. I have always preferred cooking with gas over...

Hello All! I am in the process of purchasing a new house that is in need of some renovation, including kitchen appliances. I am trying to decide which range to purchase and wanted to see if you lot have any recommendations. The home currently has a GE Drop-In electric range circa 1993...

Has anyone tried Mas Detergent from Henkel? I will be traveling down to the Permian Basin for work tomorrow and was planning to go to Sam's and pick up some more Ariel Liquid detergent while I'm there. I went to Sam's web site this evening and found that they now sell MAS - one variant for...

I second the Shout . . But as Tom said, it has to be the aerosol spray. I'm not sure why it works better than the other Shout formulations, but it does. Especially on grease stains!

What did I miss???? It appears the ad has been removed, but the poster is from a town only two miles from my house! Interesting! I have always wanted a twin-tub!

Hello! I'm currently on my summer holiday in the UK and am looking to pick up a few laundry products to take home. I went to Tessco near Gatwick this evening and picked up some Ariel Tabs, Ariel Colour tabs and some Comfort Pure for starters. I have been away from home for 6 days and need to...

Well, CRAP! Here I was just posting about using up my stash before buying any more detergent, and it turns out they have the real wisk? I may not be able to wait much longer!!! Do either of these products contain phosphates?[this post was last edited: 2/22/2012-22:02]

Howdy Nick! Long time no see! I am curious as to why you don't like "colour" products. As I am sure you are aware, we generally don't use a separate "colour" product for most of our washing here in the States, but I have really enjoyed the "colour" products I've purchased from the UK and...

Oh Launderess . . . What I wouldn't give to see your stash! I'm quite sure I could keep myself entertained for hours! Would you be so kind as to post a picture or two of your washing cupboards?

At the beginning of 2011 I made a resolution to use up my entire detergent stash before purchasing any more detergents/laundry products. While this has been a very difficult process for a detergent addict like me, I am proud to report that nearly 14 months later, the end is in sight. I did make...

My friend recently had a whole house water softener installed by Culligan. He really loves it and frequently tells me I should get one. I was almost convinced until I noticed a major decrease in the performance of his dishwasher after the softener was installed. He frequently hosts dinners at...

I would love to see the house this came from! http://lubbock.craigslist.org/app/2674536354.html
