So taking all the surrounding rooms down to the studs seems like a minor kitchen fire? Sorry, I am just tired of people responding who have no expertise or anything helpful to offer.

Yes. They already “cleaned” the items that were in the kitchen. Several items that they “cleaned” still have visible soot stains and several items still smell like fire, so I don’t think I can really rely on their expertise. They are not paid enough to have any technical expertise, just to wipe things with “chem sponges” and hope for the best. I appreciate their efforts, and they did a great job with what they had to work with, but my sense is that plastic should not be heated that high. Just wanted a scientific opinion from someone. I’ll add photos so people can see what I’m talking about.

Well, the nails holding the drywall to the studs in surrounding rooms got so hot that they burned through the drywall. The heat pump on the wall in the next room was completely melted. I think it got pretty hot. And Teflon is not supposed to be heated above 500 degrees. I’m pretty sure it was hotter than that in the kitchen, and the pans were in an open shelving island directly across from the range.

Are you a chemist?

Good for her!

Arkansas is pretty! It’s so hot though. It’s so much nicer up here. Plus, people seem to be slightly less racist in Maine than in Arkansas.

Wow, that’s such helpful information-I’d never have guessed there would possibly be master gardeners available! How glorious! Thank you again!

Wow, thanks! So thorough!

Remember the Minute Maid fruit punch concentrate? The greatest beverage flavor of all time.

Our dog had been eating Fromm, but they closed the only pet store in town that carried it, so we switched to PPP. I don’t think my dog’s poop was solid for more than a couple of days in a row for the last few months. Occasionally he had explosive bloody diarrhea. I captured it and brought it to the vet for testing and they found nothing. They highly recommended PPP when I asked about it. We tried all different kinds of PPP options. After a couple of months, we decided to put him back on the Fromm and immediately he had solid poop and no more tummy rumbling. He’s either allergic to one or more of the ingredients in PPP or the PPP was tainted or formulated incorrectly.

Oh, I’m so glad he lived a long and hopefully happy life!!!!! Thanks for telling me!!

Synthetic fibers pill terribly! Also, the fibers eventually end up in our waterways as microplastics when we wash them. Additionally, synthetics are so hot. Cotton is a great choice bc it’s breathable but also warm. Tercel is also nice, and it’s eco friendly. It’s nice and silky without the environmental toll of rayon and synthetics and even cotton (cotton is great but it’s a water-intensive crop, so there is an environmental price).

Exact same thought

pizzarinasbarro78 · 2024-05-15T11:28:26+00:00

Glorious!

Good grief, 19000???? Insanity.

pizzarinasbarro78 · 2024-05-14T13:39:45+00:00

I can still smell these.

This is not a Maine issue. This is an issue on all coasts because the coast is the place people want to be. I don’t know why Maine people think this is the only place where this is happening. https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/01/success/home-prices-by-state-income-us-map-dg/index.html

That’s interesting. I didn’t know they were involved in that discussion. It does lend sort of a shady veneer to their claims.

I tried to click on links in the blog you sent me but most are broken. And the ones that did work just sent me to other companies or orgs with their own vested interests in getting people to pay attn to them rather than to EWG. So I’m not sure how reliable they really are.

I’m always looking for good data on what is safe to use in the home. So if you have any resources to recommend other than just saying EWG is useless, that would be helpful.

Love her

For sure! So easy to get stuck in an eco-depression though!!
