I love the set up of the laundry room and materials used. That would be heaven to me, and easy to care for. I like the windows and planters. It all reminds me of my childhood but the whole set up would work well. The flooring would be easy on the feet. The only thing I would want to change is...

It’s new!!! They are upping their game. Might be worth looking into. Has anyone tried it? Barry

Does anyone know the model year of the Kenmore 700? Always thought it was a sharp looking machine, and probably a very popular one. Assume it was standard capacity with roto swirl agitator. Cool that it had the detergent dispenser. Barry

Woke up in the middle of the night to a loud refrigerator! Needing a brand recommendation for a new one. Are there any brands to stay away from? Would like something that has good reliability. Current one is over 20 years old, can’t complain as it’s given good service, it was a GE. Any input...

Philco washers were not very common, think I saw only 1 or 2 when I was a kid back in the 60’s. Was wondering who was their distribution network, who sold them? I do not recall seeing them in any Dept store. I know they were tied to the Ford Motor Co. I recall seeing one in a household, again...

Was there ever a more hated washer? The most disappointing in design? Why, oh why? Felt it was basically a Westinghouse, maybe larger capacity though. I wonder how well these held up, reliability. It would have been interesting to see a comparison in cleaning ability compared to the old...

Hey Guys! Hope all is doing well with everyone. My 17 year old Whirlpool dryer is biting the dust. It’s making loud thumping noises and running rough. This is especially noticeable if I attempt to dry a heavy load (like towels) so I cut load size in half to lessen the weight, then the thumping...

Gibson! I remember seeing these as prizes on The Price Is Right back in the day, in fact I think they were frequent showcase prizes. I remember seeing only one of these as a kid at some Dept store. They had it hooked up to demonstrate. I remember the tub was huge and the agitator was...

Heads Up: Appears Henkel has reformulated regular All.  Bought a bottle to try and indeed it has more 'ump' to it than the old formula. Washed some really dirty yard-work clothes and it cleaned noticeably better. They changed the scent too, now called Sunshine Fresh, smells a bit weaker, toned...

What's everyone's opinion of dollar stores, ie. Dollar General, Family Dollar, etc. ?      Recently read an article in the news that some of the food items, and other items as well, contained very bad, toxic, ingredients, esp their house brands.  A couple of years ago a friend of mine went to...

Hey Everyone, It's spring and I've got weeds and clover grass growing everywhere.  Does anyone have, or use, a homemade recipe that works well in killing weeds?  (In particular, I'm fighting milk weed, with roots that grow to China. Next door neighbors yard is infested with it and is now...

Was wondering what bath soaps / body washes members are using, and clean up routines in shower stalls and bathing areas. Also if there has been any issues with soaps and body washes. Currently on a search of switching to something that is easier clean up and not so intensive in scouring my...

Interesting ad from the Borg-Warner Norge era. It's interesting that they describe the rollover of clothes happens in a blooming effect, reverse rollover. Just watched a youtube video and sure enough I saw that happening, even though it was very slow going. When more water was introduced then...

Of all the washers shown in the pic of the day, which one would you pick for your daily driver? Think I'd either pick the Norge or Whirlpool. Oh, those were the days of American designed and built machines. Barry

Love this laundry room, the layout, décor, just about all of it. THAT would be my ideal laundry room. I'm wondering what kind of flooring is pictured, a rubberized linoleum? I remember windows like that as a child, thought they were neat but would let in flies. Don't know if my green thumb would...

What is everyone's thoughts on wind chimes? I'm sort-of taking a poll, as feelings about them can be extreme. Love them, hate them, indifferent? Have a set that I hung in a semi enclosed outside area in the front of the house, and they do chime. So far I haven't gotten any complaints from the...

Does anyone have experience and / or knowledge with the current crop of GE appliances since they've been bought out? Am looking to replace my 5 year old KA DW, but want something besides Whirlpool family line. Went to Home Depot the other day and they had several models of GE, more so than other...

Have been somewhat hesitant to post this thread, as there seems to be some social stigma attached to the nasty creatures...or at least there used to be. Long story short, we have a dear friend, who is elderly and now living alone, who's whole house is infested. She's had a lot of people, her...

Thought I would start a thread on home remedys for when one isn't feeling the best, but not quiet an ER case. Do you all have any remedies that have been passed down in your families that you swear by? Have come down with a stomach bug today and currently laid up. I can't even find the Peto...

Had make a run to a laundrymat this afternoon to wash a few heirloom blankets that had been stored for a couple of years, needed freshened up, and after a disastrous experience with a similar blanket in my T/L SQ decided to take no such chances on fabric damage. Was very pleasantly suprised...
