Yes I did Stan. I love the STPP and I will give this site credit for that. I have done a lot of research and never saw it mentioned anywhere else. That's how I found this site...And no, you were not rude it the least.

I thought..what the heck. HAHAHAHA, I mean ya gotta laugh ..if you don't, you'll cry ..at a group of grown individuals and probably older one's at that ..have formed a mean clique to get their jollies off. If that's what it takes to get your blood pumping and your day started..I would say I...

Don't be. Just turn the tv off and you'll have some too.

Persil I've been reading the Persil reviews on amazon and some (too many) aren't good. Some long timers are saying it's not cleaning like it use to. And wallyworld claims their Persil has the original scent but nothing about original formula. Sounds fishy to me. I'm going to back out and send...

You may be right about the Liquid HE's being better for Front-Load Washers than my DIY detergent recipe found online... I have no idea. But that is not the issue. And my belief about commercial detergents is an opinion based on an awful lot of information anyone can easily research for himself...

Stan The picture is from google images and I'm sure glad it's not mine! LOL.. And you are correct in that my objective has been to get it clean. Tennblondie78....Why is it such a big deal for me to wait a few days for the Persil? Is my FL or laundry in danger if I don't use a detergent on a...

Let me add. After I did the load with stpp.. I stuck my head inside the washer and my FL now smells sweet. I have no doubt it was a combination of all the good suggestions here because I did them all.. one at a time..and i'm thrilled with the results. Thanks everyone!

mamapinky, I SAID.. the last few days, because I don't have HE detergent on hand ..I have been using Borax and Washing Soda (alone) until the Persil comes..not wanting to add the grated ivory "SOAP" too, as I did in the past. I have never used STPP nor heard of it until reading the forums...

The STPP arrived yesterday and i've had my first experie with it. Since the cleaning out of my FL had begun several days ago, I have used NO detergent, not wanting to aggravate the scum/mold issue i've been fighting. I decided to wait for the Persil I ordered... so i've been washing with Borax...

One has to be a paid member in order to use the search locator. I am considering becoming one because this site is a wealth of information and I would love to use it. And not only because it's so interesting and informative..but because of the way it's set-up and the ongoing members are so...

Good advice you two, thanks a heap. What are you guys saying about the washing soda? Forget about it? But we can't because it's in all detergents? I thought that would be a good thing. No?

norgeway, You said you have went through two cases.. I'm assuming that would be 12 85oz boxes. How long did they last?

I don't think so, but I don't know so. I read it on this site, but I didn't bookmark, it and now I can't find it. The topic was phosphates, dishwashers and the f. boil out.

Launderess and Stan Thank you both for your responses to my last question. Now.. two more. If you don't mind. *smile* First: I have found online two different types (or just packaged differently) of Persil. One on amazn and the other on the wlmart site (the latter being much cheaper than the...

Launderess, I need to rest my brain on this for a bit but I need to make a decision on what detergent i'm going to use..at least to start out. It's confusing me because I thought we all agreed that soap .. any soap.. is a BIG NO NO in a front loader. Three of your threads are in French and I...

Launderess, Is this (see the picture) the correct type of Persil you feel would be what I would want for my Front Loader? BTW, everyone that was concerned about my turpentine use yesterday. I got all but a faint smell out of the rubber gasket I scrubbed with it. I lucked out and it smells kind...

Too late I did use the turpentine. So now my quest is to get the smell down. A little odor of it, as long as the mildew is gone, I can live with. I didn't know the gasket is easily removed and so today it comes out and the baking soda scrub begins. As far as the stpp alone, I meant washing...

On a mission I've taken all you're wisdoms and advice and am determined to clean my FL if possible.. First run it through with only the stpp ..then a load of rags with boiling water and bleach. Then wash the rim, inside and out, with turpentine. I saw a video on youtube. I have breathing...

I read that P&G will be discontinuing any product still containing phosphates this year. Of course I have no way of knowing if that information is correct, but...that is exactly what I figured would happen. IMO they intend on totally fazing out all phosphates. Has anyone ever tried purchasing...
