I miss the old La France and Blu White powders. The other day I was surfing the web and I came across this recipe: 1 1/2 cups baking soda 1/4 teaspoon Prussian Blue pigment (art supply store) I mixed up a batch this morning. I added enough for pale sky blue water. It works beautifully. Just...

I guess this covers the entire city of Portland right now. Glad I'm drinking coffee. http://www.kgw.com/news/consumer/City-issues-Boil-Water-Alert-for-all-of-Portland-260435871.html

My little Kenmore 18 inch dishwasher started dying a while back, and rather than repair what was a very mediocre machine, I replaced it with a new full sized portable. Since I did some minor renovations so the kitchen could have a full-sized washer and dryer, I also had space for a full sized...

....I've been living with the Admiralpool now for several months. I figured I'd give an update in case anyone was looking for a budget level machine. So far, so good...no issues whatsoever. It's definitely going strong and gets daily use. The only thing I don't like is the dumbed down...

I went to the grocery store yesterday. I needed some hand dishwashing liquid, so I was looking for specials. I found a new one by Ajax. They have lime scented dishwashing liquid....I haven't seen that scent in years, so I bought a bottle. I used it last night and it works well. The scent...

I've done a search and I notice a lot of people really like the Sears Ultra Plus in their front-loading washers. I was wondering if anyone used it in his or her top-loading machine. Any thoughts on how it works? I'm thinking of getting some, and don't want to invest in a 276 load size of...

My Whirlpool DD bit it a couple of weeks back. It's a motor coupler which could have been easily replaced, but it's also starting to have neutral drain problems. I was on the Home Depot site, and I found a deal on one of their Admiral machines. I managed to get it, and all the hardware for...

My TOL Whirlpool direct drive recently lost a motor coupler. I COULD get it replaced but I'm unsure of the transmission (it's getting where it kicks into a spin drain instead of neutral drain at times). It does have an almost new pump, but I don't want to work on it, since I bought it used and...

I recently bought some of the "LA's Totally Awesome" detergent at Dollar Tree. 32 load size (64 oz) for a buck, so I figured I could at least use it on dog bedding if it wasn't much. Turns out, it's not bad stuff....although their cap and directions contradict each other. Basically it says to...

Double tub Philco wringer in the Dalles....turquoise. http://portland.craigslist.org/grg/hsh/1372965255.html

Tried to go back and edit my original thread to add that....here's the link http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/app/1366141365.html

I don't have the room or the time right now! http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/app/1366141365.html

Sorry to disappear on everyone again. I had some complications after my bypass surgery that led to another small heart attack, and some more down time. I'm now feeling better, and hopefully will have the energy to get back into the swing of things here. :-)

Good morning, I've been experimenting with one of the homemade laundry soap recipes online lately (they call it homemade laundry detergent but it is natural soap), basically the recipes that use the natural soap, borax and washing soda. I'm finding that it works very well in Portland's soft...

I was wondering if anyone here in the club owned one of the Danby twin tub machines? My Kenmore laundry center is starting to show its age, and I am curious as to how well they hold up to regular laundry. At $300 plus shipping, they're not any cheaper than an automatic and I would hate to pay...

Good afternoon everyone, I just wanted to say hello and that I'm back. It's been a rough month and a half and I'm glad to be feeling better. I don't usually drop out of clubs like I did, and I apologize. However, I had a good reason. Here's what happened: On the morning of October 22, I woke...

After reading the Frigidaire Affinity thread and the ensuing top loader info, I have a few questions. I have a Kenmore (Frigidaire) laundry center with the top loading washer and straight vane agitator. It was manufacturerd around 2001 and is identical to their BOL laundry centers produced now...

Has anyone else experimented with some of the more earth friendly cleaning products? I've been getting mixed results so far, and would love to hear the forum's opinions. Here is what I've tried and my own highly subjective ratings. :-) Excellent: (As good as the best mainstream products) Oxo...

I have recently run out of Shout Action Foamer aerosol stain remover, and no one carries in in my area anymore. IMHO, this was the world's greatest stuff as far as removing oily stains from clothing (the one stain problem I have), and the regular Shout is a mere shadow of this great product...

Hello Everyone, I am currently in the market to replace my Kenmore laundry center. With a little creative rearranging, I should be able to put a standard washer and dryer in place of the stackable unit that doesn't meet our needs. It's a Frigidaire made machine and it works fine, no problems...
