San Antonio Texas lost our Sears last year, in Rolling Oaks Mall. The mall was pretty much dead at that time, I went the last week they were open and bought new sheets for my bed, they are holding up quite well. It was very sad to see the entire state of the store and mall. I just wanted to...

Tom, got that right. Wouldn’t want to live near a creek or river, too risky. Barry

There is a lot they don’t take into consideration. Sickness, elderly, physically compromised, climate. Smokers. Type of washer, detergents, line-drying. There are some articles that must be washed more frequently, kitchen towels, underwear, etc. I read the article and basically rolled my...

I’ve often wondered that if Norge was still in business what wash platform they would have. developed with all the new water and government regulations that have been imposed now. I guess it’s neither here nor there now. Norge was an excellent cleaning machine. Barry

That picture was for marketing no doubt. We had a 1969 model, with the lint tray towards the back of the tub. I don’t recall that it trapped a lot of lint, it didn’t have the burpolator agitator. It was one of the best washers we ever owned, but it broke down in the 70’s and we got another...

Yes, Gain and regular Tide broke me out in hives and also caused some swelling. Had bought some Gain on sale and had washed my sheets and night wear. Woke up the next morning horrified, and it itched awful. I knew what it was and went bought some All Free & Clear and took a long hot shower to...

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...

Hey! Currently have 3 partial jugs of detergent that I’m using up. -Gain original liquid, like to use on my shower curtain and bathroom mats. - Persil ProClean, for tough stains and bath towels. -Arm & Hammer Deep Clean (new formula), for most everything else. Definitely improved over the...

Oh my, I guess I’ll never live down that article. I was surprised to see it pop back up. Never thought I’d ever be contacted by a journalist about washing machines!! 😂😂 My feeling and thoughts have evolved since that was published. We all grow. Barry

That’s expensive. What dish soap do you like?

Peter, What detergent and dish soap are you going to buy in the future? I was just wondering since you don’t care for the smell. Manufactures are over doing it on smell these days. I completely agree, Barry

I bought my SQ in 2015. At the time I was caring for Dad and needed a washer that could knock out laundry quick, and one that would be very reliable. Those were the main reasons I bought it. Also be that used plenty of hot water as I was cleaning up alot of urine, and messes. Barry

I have the same washer. I think using an older style washer that uses much more water you need a higher concentration of stain fighting formula than if you were using a HE machine, esp a front loader. I have my own stain fighting recipe that was given to me by my godmother years and years ago...

Mustard, onion, & sweet relish.

What is it for? There’s no attached article.

One of my favorite pictures of the day! Check out those waxed floors. The cigarette ash tray, table with magazine and plant. I could only imagine all the different wonderful smelling vintage detergents being used, I wonder which little boxes of detergent were sold in the coin detergent...

Stan, It really is getting harder to find products and soaps one can handle. I totally agree with you. Barry

No thank you! Yuk! I like my sodas straight, without flavored stuff in them. Keep it simple and true. These days I drink more water than anything else. Barry

Curiosity killed the cat and couldn’t resist trying a small bottle. The formula has been changed and it did indeed clean better on some tough stains. I tested it on grass, marinara sauce and results were fairly respectable. I did have a black mold stain that was still visible but lightened...
