I like Tim Hortons I spent a week in Houlton, Maine and had breakfast every morning at Tim Hortons, and once for lunch. I found it a very nice change from Dunkin Donuts. The place was clean and food was good. Wish they were in S. Florida, too.

LCB is not supposed to be used with enzyme detergents in the same bath, as it will cancel the affects of the enzymes. I understand that oxy bleach is OK with enzymes.

inmates? at a hospital?

The SQ FL with heat boost is available only on the FL with the rear controls, if I'm not mistaken. Was checking that out while shopping for my SQ. Don't forget that when you're talking about cu/ft on a TL, you have to take into consideration the big honking agitator. iheartmaytag: I hope the...

a teaspoon here... a half teaspoon there... a 1/4 cup white vinegar. It's a cooking class, don't you know. Didn't the term "sour" evolve out of the word "sourcide?"

Those are some big cups Just one of them probably holds more detergent than I use in a month. I've seen pictures of a liquid injection system with what looks like a central chemical dispenser with lines running to individual machines. As many as 12 injection ports per machine. Would that be...

Your rating figures are right on. My 2.84 cu/ft machine is rated at 18 lbs. I've never weighed what I was putting into it. Perhaps I've found another use for the bathroom scale other than keeping a 1 sq/ft area of tile dust free. Will have to experiment with full capacity loads and adjusting...

Thanks for the pics and explanations. Those cups in the photos are looking a little nasty.

SQ FL size My SQ stacked FL is supposed to be 2.84 cu/ft. Works out well for me because I don't do huge loads. Just a lot of smaller ones. I can wash an entire set of Queen-sized sheets and pillow cases and still have extra room. Could probably do 2 full sets in one load. I noticed that the...

Thanks for the info on the balancing act. I never mix towels and sheets. I've noticed that fitted sheets sometimes collect pillow cases in the pockets. Having a bigger problem finding enough stuff to wash to make up a full load. Maybe I'll ask the neighbors if they have anything that needs a...

Always learning something new Didn't know about the temperature of the room affecting the amount of chlorine odor. Will keep that in mind. Haven't been "sniffing" any bleach lately -- LOL. The follow-up question to the dry chem injectors is: How does the chemical get to the cups? Does the...

Sudsman, You said you prefer to use powdered products in your plant. Are there automatic injection systems for powdered detergents, bleach, softener, etc.? Or do you have to manually add them to a dispenser on the washer itself for each load? I’ve seen the systems for solid product injection...

Out of balance problem I posted something on another thread that said the SQ front loader wasn't sophisticated enough to correct out-of-balance conditions. I was wrong. I noticed this evening that the wheel was warbling prior to a pulse spin. It must have sensed it, slowed down, redistributed...

Can you imagine After performing surgery, the surgeon is missing his cell phone. No problem. Just call the cell phone and see if it rings inside the patient. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

You should write a book You can name it "Laundry Treasures." Talk about airing dirty laundry. Some of that sounds pretty gross!

Wow. Would love to see a fitted sheet run through that machine. I've been hand folding mine for years.

Thanks for the ironer video. Hard to believe that a machine can do all that. Must be a b##ch if it ever jams. I can see where static could cause problems. Is there a machine that can do the same thing with fitted sheets?

Would love to see... those ironers and folders in action. So I guess the actual loading, after sorting and weighing, is just a matter of (carefully) tossing a pile into the machine? No particular way of arranging the articles in the wheel?

It's the SQ. This is my first FL. I'm still learning the tricks. I'm thinking that it is more important to load the FL with items that are similar in weight when wet, rather than similar in size. In other words, a hand towel is similar in size to a T-shirt, but heavier when wet. The...

Are there any tips for loading FL's? With all those huge machines in the laundry plants, are there any rules on how to load articles into the machines? For example: Do you just grab a pile of towels or sheets and throw them into the machine in one big clump? Or do you have a more orderly...
