Great job everyone, and my teenage daughter said **wow look there's TurquoiseDude, he loves Turquoise appliances** she was cute squeeling about you all...I loved everyone of those washers, beautiful. Congrats ..Cheryl

I missed it I have waited months to see you guys and your machines, damn it..I'm totally bummed.

Stan, I have not used the liquid non chlorine bleach, I haven't found it in my area anywhere, would it be the same as liquid Clorox ll? Which I also have never used. I do plan to order some online one of these days. Actually I've never even researched it, so I know nothing about the stuff. I'll...

Launderess, you might, are you sure you want to risk it, isn't that the detergent granny used in the Beverly Hillbillys ? Haha.

I should also add IMO

And there's a better alternative to pure sodium percarbonate. .Tide with Bleach or Persil. If oxygen Bleach is what your after.

Doesn't really matter why people use oxiclean, ill go out on a limb here and assume its for the oxy because I couldn't understand anyone using it for another reason that being said if its being used for the oxi its just pointed out that there's a better alternative to getting oxy, pure sodium...

All white towels and face cloths for me, Speed Queen TL . They get started at 130 degrees f with Tide Professional with oxi, let agitate 5 minutes shut off to soak 30 minutes, than water temp is boosted with a large soup pot of boiling water that usually raises the temp to 145, continue...

Thank you Launderess, and that is exactly what I've learned from you in reguards to oxygen Bleach. And I do know pure sodium percarbonate decomposes into washing soda in the wash its not nearly the amount that oxyclean would add. I know pure oxy is not the best at whitening for me its...

Maylingsmom, quote me correctly if your going to quote me..I said IMHO the more pure sodium percarbonate is a better choice to make rather than oxyclean with its 50%+sodium carbonate added to it mostly as a filler if one is using powdered detergents. I also explained what can happen to fabrics...

Dixan, I use between 1 and 2 ounces, rarely more is needed. I also use hot water when I use it. I only use it when I'm in the mood to use a detergent that doesn't have a bleaching system. I also only use it on whites or very light colors. Tide with Bleach and Tide professional with oxy are...

One other thing, since pure sodium percarbonate will break down into sodium carbonate in the wash, would it be less than lets say oxyclean with its addition of 50% or more added washing soda? Thank you much Cheryl

Launderess, I do use pure sodium percarbonate in water temperatures of 130 and above for whites only that includes white towels and white bedding., I don't use it so much for stain removal as I do its bleaching and whitening properties. I've had excellent results with keeping whites dazzling...

Dixan I appreciate you taking time to help me understand this...what about oxiclean? Would that also not be effective? I have been using 99% pure sodium percarbonate, because of all the posts the Launderess has posted that its a better choice compared to oxyclean with its high amount of sodium...

Sorry what I don't understand is the many posts where Launderess has stated its better to use pure sodium percarbonate, oxygen bleach, instead of using oxiclean because oxyclean has such a large amount of sodium carbonate in it. Yet now I'm learning pure sodium percarbonate won't even activate...

Perhaps more laymens terms would help me understand, which I would very much like to understand this.

I have read quite a few posts where Launderess has recommended using a more pure form of sodium percarbonate, because oxyclean is so loaded with sodium carbonate, which is not needed or desired if using powdered detergent. Now its being said sodium percarbonate is a waste of money...I'm...

I'm calling the experts in on this one, I use the more pure form of sodium percarbonate that I order online. I prefer this to oxyclean because I mostly use powder detergents so I don't want all the added washing soda. I have been informed that sodium percarbonate, breaks down into oxygen and...

I've seen the Wind Fresh at Sams, but with no enzymes or sodium percarbonate what does it have to recommend it? I had wondered if its no different than the big buckets of Sun detergent? Thank you, Cheryl

I do a lot of soaking, actually most loads get soaked, and most loads get a prewash. I never understood letting clothes soak in a tub of dirty water, there's no benefits to that.however if I'm washing a load of lightly soiled shirts I will shut the washer off midway thru agitation for a 30/60...
