To all for your kind suggestions.  I used the Cerama-Brite stovetop cleaner on half my set.  On the other half I used Barkeeper's Friend with a little dilution.  Ran thru a light cycle on my dishwasher and they came out spotless!  No stripping of glaze that I can see, and the stainless marks are...

My 10-y.o. set is mostly white.  A few red and grey pieces.  Since I moved to SoFlo and now have a dishwasher, the white pieces show marks that can only be from flatware.  Both my sets of table flatware are stainless.  I never had this problem when I used to do dishes by hand.  I've tried...

It is with great dismay that my upcoming relocation to South Florida means that I am giving up my gas stove. Having inherited my mom's Pyrex coffee percolater (WITH the coveted Pyrex stem and basket!) I am at a loss for how to use it on my electric smoothtop. Mom had a Frigidaire...

My sister has a 2011 BOL Bravos. Does a great job, but over the weekend I did a white load and noticed little black flecks over the load. Lots of them. I could dust them off before I put the stuff on the clothesline, and those I missed shook-off easily when I got home. I did a dark load and...

In the 1970s, the apartment complex I lived in had filter-flow commercial machines. Harvest Gold, no less! I was always disappointed in that my loads always came out with "dots" of (I assumed) lint on them. I began to wash everything inside-out to minimize this deficiency. My aunt had a FF...

Mine is avocado outside/stainless inside, circa 1981. It has the "cup guide" which is a plastic tube built into the handle that is open on top. It also has a mini-brew basket. It has a knob to adjust strength on the base. Just one question: Can it go in the dishwasher?

Never seen this addressed here. If you do a lot of pre-treating for a load, should you adjust the amount of detergent? Sometimes my shirts from THD duty need a lot of attention. As do clothing/bedding that have experienced the heartbreak of psoriasis. Is regular dosing overkill or waste...

Just for fun.

My sister and I are trying to stage our parents' house for sale; we lost both of them within five weeks of each other at the end of last year.  Cleanout has been progressing slowly what with the nasty weather here of late, but we finally have a number of closets empty and can see a light at the...

What is the appliance next to the dishwasher the woman and girl are loading? I thought it might be a trash compacter but it appears too wide for that. I don't think 2-drawer dishwashers went "back" that far. Any guesses?

And many more!

In our Home Despot, all the specialists (appliance, kitchen design, carpet) have to wear white shirts. I always wear white cotton short-sleeved polos because I'm one of those who are always "hot", even in the winter. I'm forever getting stains of one kind or another on them, so I found the...

OK gals! How many of you SIT to iron, wearing high heels accessorized with a handbag, and press your board cover thoroughly before you put a garment on it? Cripes, even Donna Stone or June Cleaver wouldn't go that far!

A friend was cleaning out his mom's house and gave me a Farberware coffee set. Everything is chrome, looks like from the Postwar times. The electric pot is stylized and fancy with a narrow spout and wooden handle and feet. It has a cloth-covered cord that detaches. It even came with an extra...

Is it just me, or do the two "women" at the top of the ad look like really, really bad drag? Brini Maxwell would have a very firm talk with them, fer sure!

I notice at the bottom of the ad it mentions the "Festival of Gas" at the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair. Although it does sound like a "chili cook-off" competition >smirk< I do remember seeing it. The appliances were displayed on a huge ferris wheel. Impressive, but you weren't able to touch...

Has anyone seen actual results when using this as just a laundry additive? I am an unfortunate psoriasis sufferer; I have to put medicine on my scalp at night when I have a flare-up. Consequently, my pillowcases get yellowed. This also happens when I have breakouts on my arms, for instance - my...

At last! A POD I actually recognize! If I only could remember the year... I remember this as part of a series of promos that singer Pearl Bailey did for White-Westinghouse appliances. She had a TV program in the early 1970s, could this have been from around that time?
