I don't know about all of this . . I think we should check with our resident expert Launderess about this. She would know most about whether one should mix oxy bleach and enzymes. Seems to me the Germans, Brits and others have been doing it for years in the Euro detergents with good results...

I'm Intrigued . . . Do people actually fold sheets while still damp? Do they mildew if you do that? Forgive me - I'm the daft Texan who grew up with a dryer. Bryan

I bought some . . . At Sack-N-Save in Fort Worth last time I was there. I'm not sure if they still sell it, but they have the last few times I've been there. I live 6 hours from the Metroplex, but will be happy to pick you up some next time I'm there. Until then, however, maybe someone in the...

Thanks everyone for all of the great information. It certainly gives me something to think about. Until I find the right person, I have resigned myself to come home every night and clean one room per night until it's all done. Then I guess I will have to go back and start all over again! Greg...

I'm sick of living in an inch of dust and not having the time nor the energy to clean my house the way it should be done (I barely even have time to do the laundry!). I have always been pretty OCD, but things are a bit out of hand. Between running a business, traveling for work, and all of the...

Skip Advert (Persil in Spain) Matrix theme . . .

First Link Didn't Work Here is the first one again.

He He . . This lady has washday envy!

Another One . . A very similar commercial to the last one, but this one is for the Argentinain market. Notice she actually has a washer in this one. This is a very similar washer I used while on a mission trip to Mexico last summer. The one I used was a Dae-Woo.

Serenading Wash Day . . . This is an Ace commercial in Peru. Notice she is hand-washing in that nice big laundry room with no washer!

Hmmm... Baby Frangrance?

Is this one from Spain, perhaps? Very funny.

Okay, so I'm a YouTube junkie. But here's a funny one. Ace is a popular detergent in Mexico. "Gordita" is a term of endearment for a chubby person - roughly translating to mean "little fat one". LOL. Enjoy! http://mailto:[email protected]?subject=looking%20for%20Chub%20Bttm%20-%20m4m

All of this talk about Ariel . . . Made me break out my stash and wash a load of white bath towels in it tonight in my LG! I used 1/3 of a cup in th emain wash, and about 1/6 of a cup in the pre-wash. I added about 3/4 TBSP of Amway/Quixtar's oxygen bleach to the main wash as well. I'm sure...

Psycho Fred Phelps . . Said - "Phelps and his ilk have the sympathy of a few, the tacit permission of roughly 25% of the population.". I think that 25% of the population sounds like a very high number. While Phelps claims to be "Christian", his beliefs, actions and antics certainly don't...

You would never seen 18 mins of agitation on a real Maytag! What were they thinking????

I was in 5th/6th grade that year. I still remember those commercials, as I used to watch WAY too much TV. I wish I had used some old formulation Biz yesterday when I did a load of darks. I had an "unreported" stain of my own. It was an olive oil stain on one of my dress shirts that I forgot...

Phosphates in Areil . . . I believe it's only been in the past few months that Ariel has changed it's formula to the non-phosphated version. It used to be that the Ariel purchased in the box was the non-phopshate version, but the version in the bag contained phosphates. Now even the bag...

This stuff is great . . . I have used it in the past, and it is readily available at our major supermarket chain here in West Texas. I do, however, prefer using straight STPP from the Chemistry Store (online). I believe that White King also uses sodium carbonate along with the STPP, so it is...

The Demise of Early Suburbia . . It's amazing how the suburban areas of Dallas and Houston have changed since the 1980's! I have friends from the suburbs of Duncanville, De Soto, Grand Prairie and Cedar Hill. Each of these suburbs were very nice in the 1970's and 1980's, but have now all...
