    Site layout/navigating the ‘new’ AW site

    Well yesterday I couldnt find the different forums, deluxe, imperial, super, it’s now on the home page it wasn’t there before though. It was just showing a list of different threads and it was a mess. That was all, much better now. Although I really miss the old website and how old fashioned it was

    So is this a permanent change for this website? Is this how it’s going to look from now on? This is really difficult to navigate

    Putting dish soap in a washing machine

    When I have grease stains or body oil stains on anything I add a drizzle of dawn in addition to the tide. Really helps to cut that grease and or oil more than detergent will alone and I also pretreat with dawn. I use the bleach alternative lemon dawn but any will work. I don’t use too much cause...

    An update regarding life

    I’m glad you’re getting it all taken care of and glad it wasn’t any worse for you! Tornados are no joke and it’s one of those things that you think will never happen to you, until it does. I’ve had two close calls in the last few years, we’ve had several tornadoes in Michigan lately and one...

    What’s the best detergent for a Vintage dishwasher?

    It truly doesn’t matter. Modern detergent is fine for any dishwasher. It’s not worth paying for overpriced detergent online when you can get good quality detergents from the store. Cascade Finish store brand products all work fine for a machine that uses more water.

    Walmart great value version of Tide

    They have it here in Michigan at all stores. It’s mixed in with the tide liquids.

    Walmart great value version of Tide

    Yes I will say that it doesn’t do as well on some stains at tide, but overall it’s a really good deal. It does smell a lot like how tide used to from years ago to me. Everything comes out of the dryer smelling beautiful and it does remove odors especially pet odors on my blankets.

    Walmart great value version of Tide

    Recently I saw this at Walmart it’s new they just started selling it. I gave it a whiff and wow, it smells just like how Tide used to smell, it’s very reminiscent of the old liquid tide original smell, maybe not exactly like it but really similar. I bought some and I’ve done several loads and it...

    My Whirlpool dishwasher

    Yes QSD you can interchange any of those direct feed whirlpool arms infact you can take any of the upper arms out of a voyager and install them into the upper rack direct feed Powerclean or vice versa. We had a 2009 Maytag we parted ways either a couple years ago and I saved the upper arm for my...

    "New and improved" cascade platinum and platinum plus.

    Yeah exactly it doesn’t matter if the load is real dirty or not but I’ve noticed that it doesn’t foam as much when the dishwasher is packed full cause as I said before there’s more jet streams that don’t hit any dishes when it’s emptier and due to that the jet streams forcefully splash back down...

    Like new vintage portable whirlpool dishwasher must see

    It has the same sump filter area that the first Powercleans did? So this just happens to have the same looking sump as a Powerclean?

    Favorite dishwasher detergent and rinse aid...

    I’m a freak for scents too but the flavoring of dishwasher on my thermos cups and plasticware was awful from Cascade pacs and gel. I have had to stop using cascade now, unfortunately. It ruined so many foods and drinks for me. The finish Ultimate smells wonderful and doesn’t leave any traces of...

    My Whirlpool dishwasher

    We have a five year old Maytag with a similar dispenser to what is on yours and it will make those loud clicks, the first one is the detergent cup popping open and then you’ll hear a shot in the final rinse when the rinse aid is dispensed. Completely normal.

    My Whirlpool dishwasher

    And what does this have to do with the authors review? Literally everyone knows where you stand Jerome we don’t need to hear the same bullshit from you over and over, and over and over, and over again. Go get a job. You are a thorn in the foot on this website.

    My Whirlpool dishwasher

    If you can stack mugs on an angle/slant if your rack allows you to do so, so the water just runs off the tops of glasses and mugs. This is why I hate that every dishwasher brand got rid of those legendary upper tiered racks which eliminated this problem because every mug every glass on the top...
