You know how it it is, to get something one wants usually means taking something one doesn't want. Recently this meant a job lot of vintage laundry supplies including a huge box of older A&H powder detergent. Not expecting much but intrigued by fact stuff is loaded with phoshates cracked open...

Cannot speak to Europe or elsewhere in world, but here in USA not all 18" dishwashers are in small space situations. Nor are they regulated to those who perhaps are price sensitive. Rather it's a combination of factors including fact we're a few generations into an age where people (as in...

These 18" dishwashers like compact washing machines sold on this side of pond are more about making most of limited space than anything else. Very popular with small apartment or perhaps galley kitchens where there just isn't room for a full sized dishwasher. Other option of course is a...

Sadly far too many... Employees of dry cleaning plants or such businesses long have known increased cancer rates among other diseases related to exposure to solvents. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1035126/ Higher cancer rates didn't just affect employees of dry cleaning plants, but...

That Electrasol was loaded with phosphates. https://www.ebay.com/itm/335642813057 Interestingly Electrasol box shown in OP isn't bilingual. Packet also gives St. Paul Minnesota address meaning product was produced in USA.

In an era of cloth diapers many housewives simply likely shut down upon hearing about a combined washing machine and dishwasher. No amount of sales or marketing was going to be able to get past those objections once Mrs. American Housewife made up her mind. IIRC Thor did sell good number of...

Economics Laboratory Inc., changed their name to Ecolab in 1986, so that box of Electrasol was made before then. All laundry detergent was developed by Monsanto in 1946 and patent was sold to Lever Bros. in 1957 along with everything else "All" brand name related (Concentrated all, Liquid all...

"The answers are out there, I'm just not sure they're on the internet." Probably because no one but persons like ourselves are interested enough to bother researching. *LOL*

Anyone who still has an active POTS line into their homes shouldn't have a problem with "old" landline rotary or touch tone phones I shouldn't wonder. OTOH as mentioned if landline service has been disconnected or otherwise not live fiber or cable service likely won't do it. As with so much...

Didn't save link to information but one also distinctly recall reading that at one point yes, Sears did own stock in Whirlpool, thus one's previous comments. Sears and "Upton Machine Company" through various incarnations of Whirlpool names were together for near or over 100 years. For most of...

"Best offer from AT&T is 25Mbps DSL." AT&T, Verizon and rest are doing all they can to get away from POTS (copper) landline telephone service. That means also DSL will go with end of such service. Those who cannot (or will not) choose between VOIP, fiber, 5G, cable or whatever else are...

YW, anytime.... Person selling job lot of Persil is also same as one with listing for Miele washer & dryer. That they are getting rid of both laundry appliances and products suggests moving house. This or clever estate sale listing where someone has put two and two together. One can see selling...

Anyone in VA wanting some Persil? Too far for one and seller isn't offering shipping anyway. *LOL* https://hibid.com/lot/242261449/persil-universal-washing-powder?ref=lot-list

"Upton Machine Company, which eventually became Whirlpool, sold its first washing machines to Sears in 1916. Sears later took a stake in the appliance company in 1921." Above just to be clear explains that Sears wasn't just getting appliances from WP, they owned a percentage of the company and...

Generally speaking it wasn't necessary to use boiling water with Fels or other naptha soaps. High water temps would cause the petrol to evaporate out of soap & water solution defeating entire purpose...

Years ago Samsung had a small washing machine "Baby Care" that claimed to reach water temps of 194F. Was curious and few did pop up on CL or fleaPay but as have three European washers that easily do boil washes didn't see need...
