all pods and STPP....a dangerous combo. LOL

The big tub of all pods that LaundryMitch generously and amazingly had mailed to me are fantastic! They clean as well as my beloved Tide he ORIGINAL scent powder and smell almost as good. all pods smell like clean detergent! What detergents should smell like.
1 pod for a medium to large load produces the amount of suds that one wants in a front load washer. They suds form and then collapse. These pods clean, remove stains and leave laundry smelling, feeling and looking GREAT...
This is the 3rd time adding STPP with all pods, and well.....I will save my STPP for Tide powder, Miele UltraWhite, Tide with Bleach powder and Tide with a Touch of Downy powder (again that Mitch sent me :) :)
This is what just 1 tsp., even less of STPP does to the all pods:

Can I grow redbud from these seed pods?
Comments (34)Thank you for your reply. Do you think it would be ok to plant/sow them in a pot or does this need to be in the ground please? ==>>> you have enough seed.. to try a variety of methods ... and i suggest you do so ... when i have no learning curve ... i do .. say.. 10 seeds every way ... and one of the methods usually works.. based on my level of incompetence ... lol .. when you rely on one methods.... one thing wrong.. total fail ... been there.. done that ... so spread the odds ... i bet in ground ... is the easiest.. most forgiving method.. pots in winter.. can be very problematic .. for the newb ..but maybe not.. in your area .... ken...See MoreThe dangers of Carolina
Comments (14)Now Carolina, I distinctly remember you suggesting President Carnot-I knew nothing about that gorgeous thing and I'll probably be thanking you for the rest of my life it is so pretty. Yes Joe I got your card and it is the prettiest one out of so many but I'm going to resist what with Betty Uprichard and Dame Edith Helen and Lady Wenlock and Legendary among other pink roses in my garden. Thanks for the vote of confidence on Mrs Dupont--Gregg said there has been nothing better in the last 20 years so between the pair of you, I am cat in cream smug. Yes Patricia, I couldn't ask for a better friend and every time I hear someone sneer at e-mail relationships, forums and computers, I have to say in all seriousness, "I have been so extraordinarily lucky. My life is much richer and happier for the dear friends I've met here. I'm more greatful than I can say. Perhaps it is that we write and reveal the quality of our hearts, share our humour and this passion for roses that make for such fulfilling friendships.I really was just riffing,Carolina--the post should have been entitled "The sheer joy of Carolina, Fang, Patricia, John, Joe and Randy." That would have just been for starters. Merry Christmas and the greatest new year you've ever had. Love to you all, la...See MoreDouble pod
Comments (26)Thank you, Chaz. I did buy the ones Logee's offered (and will probably order some more this year) - they are tiny all right, but they do scoot once they get going. The deer consider them candy though, so I have to grow them in pots as well. But that also means I can bring them indoor early in the year and enjoy them close-up (try hanging a pot at "nose height" indoor, too good for words - works like magic with lilies-of-the-valley as well). I did try the violet forum without much luck. Oh well, I will keep looking....See MorePods in Front Loading washers
Comments (36)If you're using detergent packs (or anything like a POD) always place it directly in the drum before putting in the laundry. I don't recommend using detergent packs in front load washers even though the companies say you can. Most top loaders use between 20-40+ gallons of water per wash cycle, enough water to fully dissolve the outer casing of the pod. Front load washing machines average far less at 8-12 gallons of water per wash cycle (depending on the size of the load and the size of the wash tub some use even less than that) and the outer pod casing doesn't always fully dissolve. I've seen many machines where this outer casing gel has caked up inside the top half portion of outer tub (the outer tub is the tub you can't see in a front loader where all the water is flung against in the spin cycle, often made of plastic) and creates mold issues and clogged pumps. Even though Tide and others say they are safe for front loaders, take caution as the detergent manufacturers are in the business of making money selling detergent, they don't care about your machine....See More
