Dueling Bendii!

Just need some banjo music now!
But seriously, is that the way They should suds?

Should you be using HE detergent or did they use more water than today's machines and regular detergent would be the norm?

How would you have measured detergent back before HE fomulations?

Ummmm suds are meant for real washers you know solid basket top loaders, not little old front loaders. Front loaders are way more fun with suds 1/2 way up the window, Mister.

Never Fear!! Assured Rinse is here!

Was the final rinse water clean and clear? I'll bet it was pretty close in that combo - that 27" clothes drop would insure everything is clean as can be!

"Too much suds ruins the dudds--and can make a mess too.Add a little Final Touch to remove the suds" "Washer oversudsing?Qiick,add a little Final Touch to reduce the suds." These were two different signs pasted up on the wall in a coin laundry named "Sudsville"in Frankford Plaza shopping center in B'more,MD.They had the old "Launderama"front loading washers.

When the little one went into spin, did it vomit suds through the detergent chute? That is always very dramatic and a fitting climax to severe oversudsing.

Oh I need to get

jetcone's profile picture
A Cement mixer into the basement to formulate the Jon Dash properly and have been crusing CL for a year now looking for a good deal on one. They are not cheap and I need one that doesn't have gobs of hard cement inside. Which is why Jon Dash has been in a holding pattern for a year now.
As soon as I get that mixer you'll see scads of JonDash up for market!!

Now as too the mystery detergent, I used Wisk 3x concentrate HD. And as Greg guessed correctly, the suds were all gone by the first Assured rinse/drain and the water was crystal clear before the first spin.
Tom no suds up the chute BUT.. there were plenty of suds spurting up the drain pipes down the line all across the basement. So I got the floor cleaned as well!!

Oh and by the way the Poppies were delicious! Thank you!

the Poppies must have had an lingering effect... I meant to write "Wisk 3x HE" not HD!

That's the effect of that hi-definition Wisk.

HE vs HD

Thanks, Jon. With all of those suds, I figured it was Heavy Duty. That is poor suds control for an HE detergent, but I'll bet the manufacturers count on the pause between tumbles to let the suds fall a little and with the older FLs, except for the Launderall, AFAIK, there is no time wasted on pauses. It was that "Get 'er done" approach.

I thought Bendix plural was "Bendii"...

Anyone noticing Wisk 3X disappearing from store shelves?

Wisk 3X--All 2X

I've been using All HE 3x for my Bosch--loyal to All because when I played with my mother's Westy Laundromat, that's what I used, for the low-suds thing of course. Wisk and All appear to come off the same production line. Anyway--have noticed that All now has 2x--what is the point? Are they phasing out 3x? The small 3x bottles are much better for apartment dwellers. Anyone have the lowdown on this extremely disturbing backward trend? (PS--no offense but I tried Wisk once and think it's way too perfumey! Love All no-scent, no-nuthin')

Detergent formulators need to be KER-SLAPPED because I think all their formulations are out of step with whats out there in the marketplace!

Bosch vs Laudromat, Bendix etc

My Bosch does the trick but its pauses are annoying to those of us who enjoyed a good 12 minutes of nonstop tumbling and splashing in the old days. And much much better washing sound effects with a Laundromat than a modern Bosch...although its 1000rpm spin is fabulous, like a Pratt & Whitney JTD3 on takeoff....
