    If there's one superpower I could have, it would definitely be a photographic memory. When are we hitting the Blackjack tables? :ROFLMAO:

    30-40 minute soak is good for regular detergent but oxygen bleach needs more time.

    Tide Original

    Interesting results. I find Tide Professional gets grease and oil out better then regular Tide by quite a long shot. Maybe my higher temperatures and water softener are the reason. I do use regular Tide for normal stuff as it seems wasteful to use Tide Pro where it can't shine.

    Whites/towels. Using chlorine bleach is prohibited in septic tanks. I quit using it loooong before that.

    It's definitely an experience to have your life flash before your eyes in a matter of seconds. It's impossible to comprehend without experiencing it for yourself. I'm surprised you're able to recall the accident in such detail, especially after 50 years. The brain usually shuts down in those...

    That's a KDS-18, probably a rare sighting in that area.

    Life flashing before your eyes isn't an NDE but it's generally the direct precursor to the experience. In a true NDE, you're no longer in this world but in the spiritual one.

    For oxygen bleach to work effectively, water temps need to be at least 150F during agitation. 160F coming out of the fill flume becomes 152F-153F once filled and agitating. A 3-4 hour soak occurs after 6 minutes of agitation.

    Both It's not a unique experience, there are tens of thousands of testimonies on the internet from all over the world. It has become a hot topic in recent years with a lot of charlatans trying to profit from it on Youtube. I would caution believing a story from anyone trying to sell a product...

    Turn down the water heater? Over my dead body! "Thou shall have a setting no lower than 160F" should be the 11th Commandment. In all seriousness though, I did purge the facet to lukewarm before starting a few times. It made a slight difference but not much. I'm oldschool when it comes to using...

    I am replacing the felt tumbler seals in my 30 year old maytag gas dryer.

    The newest Maytag dryer I worked on was a DG9900 from 1993. When I replaced the factory installed felt seals, I gently pried up the tabs, slipped the old felt out, the new felt in, and pushed the tabs down. There was no sealant used by the factory. Perhaps Maytag changed back to using a bead of...

    Recently had that experience in the grocery store. A guy in his 60's was blasting a tune from Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet album (can't remember the song now) from his phone while shopping. Tacky Also heard the song "Wanted Dead or Alive" from the same album in the doctors office early this...

    Another thing I just remembered is the soil sensor would cause the main wash to significantly reduce cycle times if it didn't sense enough food in the water. What it did not sense was the food stuck to the dishes, causing it to under wash at times. That's with hi temp wash selected (always...

    Depends, there's certain foods my Powerclean couldn't handle that the KDS-18 powered through. I can also stack items 3 tiers high in the 18 and the PC struggled with 2 tiers. Also remember these machines were designed with highly phosphated detergents that were already getting hit by 1977 and...

    It wasn't a weak point at all back when detergents were highly phosphated with chlorine bleach. Between 2 pre rinses, 2 wash cycles and 3 post rinses, everything came out of them squeaky clean. Remember, these are launching 3 gallons of water around the cabinet per fill using a 1/2 horsepower...
