Anyone ever use Bubble Bandit Laundry Detergent
Comments (15)I've been using Bubble Bandit dishwasher detergent for several years now and here is my experience. I have an older dishwasher like MammaP. Mine is a 15 year old GE EI (Energy Inefficient) dishwasher. It is loud, uses a boatload of water, and cleans like a SOB. We have moderately hard water here so I always use a rinse agent like Jet Dry. I never put any of my metal pots and pans in the dishwasher. Those get handwashed. But everything else goes in-- dishes, glasses, cups, bowls, silverware, cooking utensils, mixing bowls, etc. I use the normal cycle with the sani option that heats the water. Everything comes out clean and shiny. All the dishes are shiny and the glasses are crystal clear with no cloudy residue. If I have a particularly dirty load with dried, baked on or burned residue that needs enzymes, I will put the Bubble Bandit in the prewash cup and a Cascade complete tab in the main wash cup for the enzymes. This is just my experience and I have been happy with the results....See MoreAnyone try the Arm & Hammer liquid with Oxi?
Comments (26)Not so FAST my little chick..yes I'm talking to you El...try the A&H powder pods...Larsi set me on the trail of these awhile back and they smell amazing..like good old fashioned clean detergent. ..they do a very nice job on whites. Joel...have you tried the A&Hpowder pods, oh what the hell are they called...I can't remember LOL.. they smell great, nothing like A &H'ers other products. You know one of the hardest scents to get rid of is dog urine..well my tiny little lil uses the disposable potty pads, but I use washable pads under them just to be on the safe side do to leaks, I wash them weekly at the laundramat using 2 of these pods..all traces of urine is gone and the pads smell terrific. no they are not the best detergent out there but they are good.....See MoreMama's Speed Queen
Comments (53)MamaP, I can't believe the audacity of those people on AW! I have read your posts on there and they have been nothing but kind and interesting. I guess they just have their own little hen house over there and no newbys are welcomed. That's what's so great about the Laundry Room, we're all one big happy family, even if we all don't post a lot,(hanging head in shame). Stchuck, you are not alone in that. I will say this about Speed Queen, back when I was having issues with the timer and finding somebody to repair it under warranty. One gentleman told my he didn't do warranty work for them anymore because they take way too long to pay them. And I must admit that I am not that enamored with my washer or dryer. I sincerely hope this is taken care and very quickly. Love , Mary...See MoreStrange & magical dishwasher detergent & cleaner
Comments (36)I found a recipe using the same ingredients as the Kleenite...easy and cheap. 1&1/2 cups Washing Soda 1&1/2 cups Citric Acid 1/2 Cup Baking Soda 1 Tablespoon Sodium percarbonate Mix all together and store in airtight container. This will be extremely cheap to make and is the exact ingredients as the Kleenite. For those of you that are having good luck with the Kleenite I'd recommend you take 5 minutes and mix your own. There are a lot of people online having good luck with this. I just think Kleenite should be ashamed of themselves for the price they are charging for this....See Morerecordaras
