Bosch SHV45MO3UC dishwasher: Does it dry dishes well enough?
Comments (13)"I programmed the DW to utilize the intensive drying feature.. whatever that is." The intensive drying feature raises the final rinse temperature so the dishes get hotter and thus dry better. On the European models, it raises the final rinse from 149°F to 158°F. Vinegar will really only help to reduce spotting related to lime - it does not improve drying. That's what rinse aid is for: is causes the water to form a thin film of water on the dishes, rather than droplets, which dries faster and without spots. Vinegar can't do this. You'll have to experiment with the rinse aid setting. When I use the rather thick Electrasol/Finish Turbo Dry rinse aid, seting no. 1 is enough to dry the dishes. Before that, I used rather thin, watery rinse aid and I had to set the dispenser to 2 or 3. On the ASKO: the fan cannot be disabled. What it does is gradually suck warm, moist air out of the tub during the drying cycle. The fan cannot be disabled. However, ASKO's drying system does not involve an extra heater - only the fan - so it won't wrap plastic items (just like the Bosch's condensation system)....See MoreCleaning well-used cast iron in self-cleaning overn OK?
Comments (4)Have heard of people running cast iron thru oven self-clean cycle, but have no experience. Seem to recall a post "somewhere" of someone putting gunked up cast iron on wood pile in outdoor fire pit!?! Do NOT know for sure, but imaging good quality stuff (not made in China) should be fine... CI is pretty darn indestrucible!?! I was re-introduced to CA a few years ago when I found 2 difference size skillets at a yard sal for almost nothing. They were all "name" pieces... Lodge, Griswold, etc. And TOTALLY cruddy with soeone else's "seasoning". I did was is probably considered HERESY among purists... used spray oven cleaner on them. After SEVERAL applications of the stuff, one of the skillets was almost silvery/shiny! All were cleared of their crud. Then I just reseasoned. I think one of the keys to successfully using CI is USING it as often as possible. If I cook something that doesn't just wipe out, I'll use cheap salt and a scrubber. Then lots of hot water to rinse. Back on stove top to get nice and HOT, then a dab of bacon grease... that's what my Grandmother always did....See MoreLeft Pool Sweep Out of the Pool While it was Running!
Comments (5)If its a pressure side sweep (Polaris x80 or a Legend) that is your likely source of the 3" loss. When pulling the sweep out, always remember to disconnect it from the port in the pool too. If the pool is too low to run the skimmers, shut them off until it's refilled. Then check your pool chemistry. The hardness may be low as well as the alk and pH depending on your fill water. Scott...See MoreIs it worth paying to have dry-clean only sofas cleaned?
Comments (1)I represent a cleaning company and I have to say that it's definitely worth it. It's okay cleaning your sofas regularly by yourself, but occasional deep cleaning with hot water extraction would help you get rid of the dirt, grime, and allergens trapped deep within fibers that just sit there for a long time. These simply cannot be removed by a regular vacuum cleaner or solutions that you can mix yourself or buy and apply on your sofa. Cleaning companies are specialized for this - they apply a cleaning solution and then use a specialized extraction equipment to remove the cleaning solution along with all of the dust, dirt, and allergens. When the job is done, there should be no sticky residue that would attract even more dirt. If you decide to give it a try with a cleaning company, make sure to ask them about the process and equipment they use before you schedule. They should inform you about the process and the price....See Moremarcinde
