Said Hoover Steam Cleaner did a great job on removing the grime and crud for the inside and outside of the Hoover MicroElectronic, made easy work of the detergent tray and dispenser. And we used the new Persil PowerGems in the bucket of water, once dissolved the water was very slippy and did a great job and getting through the dirt.[this post was last edited: 7/13/2017-08:09]

Deja Vu Most Pleasant .... 
I woke up early with the intent to tackle administrivia but instead vicariously attended a UK wash-in.
Pics, narration & their arrangement all flowed to make a great morning coffee read. Richard's kitchen is beautiful and makes a great backdrop. I saw a number of intriguing things. I think I'm in love with his cabinets!
Thanks for the posts. It looks like you had a blast!

Endnote: I keep thinking aw.org has enough members with sizable collections that a deal could be worked out with local MisterBnB's to form an AW.org vacation circuit. Travellers bring/send parts, detergent, rarities from their home countries, etc., donate their time & skills ... and all benefit. A system would have to be worked out, of course... but it'd be great fun!
