MY WASHING CYCLE IS DONE

[irul&ublo]

been rockin' shorts with dark socks for about a year now and lovin' it.

Thank for that report from Boca Del Vista, FL. Next up, the best early bird specials....

I have an ultra sonic laundry cleaner, no dryer needed.

Quantum step

I keep it in the garage next to my Tesla electric jet helicopter

Not going to start a new thread that addresses laundry but like the OP's stoke at finishing his wash and getting it in the dryer I have to sing the praises of adding distilled vinegar to the wash. Wish I'd known years ago about how great it was for every load every time.

Previously I'd used it in conjunction with baking soda to soften new sheets and strip them off all that sizing the manufactures add but until recently I never knew what a miracle cleaner vinegar is for everyday laundry esp. work clothes that get very dirt and towels that get musty. Helps keep my front loader clean and smelling fresh too.

How much vinegar?

[KQ]

How much vinegar?

Half cup.

Check out the Q&A at the bottom of the linked article. There is some info about when to add for different results (i.e. are you using it to clean/ brighten or soften) I put mine in at the start.

^^^Thanks got that vinegar tip, Ms. Q. I struggle with keeping the front loader fresh and unmoldy. Gonna try it tomorrow.

[brutah]

Do you use laundry detergent at all or just white distilled vinegar? Color me intrigued...

I read the wiki article just curious what your experience is and what your doing

Leave the door cracked open after you’re done

[Meadow Skipper]

Space issues with a cramped laundry location. But yeah...

I use laundry soap not detergent (The Difference Between Soap and Detergent) but yeah... read that part about the vinegar acidity canceling out the detergent alkaline. Not sure if I'm wasting my soap or not. This is the soap I use:

Borax is another great "old fashion" product you can add to your wash. I use it all the time too.

Is that you on the bottle?

[KQ]

Is that you on the bottle?

yeah... running away from the mountain of laundry that needs to be folded.

[Kenny Satch]

I did a load last night. Now I have to wash my sheets

[SB]

Depends would help.

[riser4]

TMI

[Kenny Satch]

Depends would help.

Lol. I see what you did there

[stuckathuntermtn]

No fold, only hang.

[SkiBall]

We use this stuff, but may try adding the vinegar occasionally.

I hope the people down river appreciate my sacrifice. Actually not really, as it seems as if this soap goes a long way and is not very expensive.

A small load done by hand?

[KQ]

A small load done by hand?

who knew doing laundry could be so dirty and we haven't even gotten into spin cycle rides yet

[Kenny Satch]

A small load done by hand?

That would be wasteful

^ That wasn’t what I was expecting from the video title. I googled washing machine orgasm video, and a lot of interesting stuff came up, just nothing SFW.

[SB]

That is a dirty washing machine.

Not going to start a thread, and this could have gone in some other threads (shit that annoys you, first world problems, etc).

Fairly new front load washer. Used to work fine when it was sitting on the exposed concrete slab in our lower level. Now, after putting some vinyl flooring down, the thing seems unbalanced all the time and "walks" all over the damn floor. Even though it's in the exact same spot, with vinyl tile now over the slab.

I have leveled the fuck out of it, and as near as I can tell with my little level, it's spot on. Pretty darn close to perfectly level, certainly at most only slightly off. Yet the washer still walks all over the place. Fucking annoying.

Have some anti-vibration foot pads on order, hope that stops it.

Okay... reading comp is not my strong suit this morning... nothing to see here

[mcski]

Our washer is just like that. Fucking annoying as well and can’t seem to adjust it so it stops
