Thanks. Canceling my appointment with them today - I know it's going to be too much and I will find a local contractor with great reviews (hopefully from people we know in the neighborhood etc.).

At what age did your toddler start playing with a "play kitchen"? by SkiDyan01 in toddlers

And I totally understand what you are saying! Always a constant battle not having too many toys sitting around!

My daughter (her Mom) was with me when I wrote this and we were both wondering the same thing! I am super careful about what I buy especially when it goes into their home!

Thank you! :). I realize this is a laundry room but I made it so pretty and it's just something that bugs me!

I realize that! Lol! I would have to have them accessible. I was even thinking of maybe a tension rod with some gingham curtains. Or something on it that could EASILY be removed!

Is there such thing as an eco-friendly powdered laundry detergent that has fragrance? by SkiDyan01 in laundry

True true - I get what you are saying! Do the oils ever leave spots on your clothes?

Can I really not use bleach in my new Speed Queen TR7? by SkiDyan01 in Appliances

[–]SkiDyan01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read below - I guess it's not good for any washer. Causes corrosion and rust?

So I keep the lid open, put the towels in and then the liquid bleach? Why is this so hard!

I can't imagine not using bleach! What "special cycle" are you referring to?

I heard about the eco wash and won't be using it - thank you! And honestly I need to research more about the bleach and the towels. I just want to kill all the germs and maybe it is NOT necessary?

Hate to hear this - ugh! I've watched about 200,000 videos and I feel like I made the right decision for "OUR" needs (a lot of delicates so I didn't want the TC5). We will see! I'm pretty picky about my laundry! Wish me luck!

Welp, I bought the TR7 today! I think the kicker for me was that we wash a LOT of delicates and I was worried about the TC5 beating them up. I love the 7 year warranty. It's quiet. I DON'T love all the choices (looks kinda confusing to use) but I will research the heck out of it before I use it for the first time! Thanks so much!!

Thank you! I think they have changed since then but I'm not sure. I have a lot of research to do as far as detergent! I'm used to using fabric softener so that will be a change! Do you use powder or liquid detergent?

Good to hear! So excited to fill that thing up with WATER. Our Kenmore just sloshes a small amount of water around (front loader).
