Took the front parlor curtains down for a laundering and as they are lace and netting washing in the Miele wasn't getting the job done. Ssoooooooooo, got out the Hoover and went a washing. Two washes, and one spin rinse later, my curtains are the cleanest and whitest in the area. THAT will teach some people around here who is queen of the cul-de-sac. Do hate those who pretend to be superiour, it makes it that much harder for those of us who actually are. One thing again, you really cannot beat the Hoover spin rinses. Fill the extractor tub with water, and let her go and watch the fun! Well not really watch as one cannot see inside, but it must be a treat. Can hear water being flung about and see suds and muck going down the drain. Just two spin rinses and the draining water was totally clear. Launderess | ||

Gizmo: For now it seems the pump is biding well. There is some water under the machine when it is moved back into storage, but cannot be sure it is coming from the pump. It could just be the result of all that splashing, will have to investigate when time permits. From the limited instructions in my Hoover TT manual , thought one was supposed to fill the extractor basket with water to cover items. At least this is the way it appears in the instructions, will have a peek later today. It was fun hearing all that water splash about as it hit the outer tub. West Tex Man: Sheridan is busy studying for his exams in embroidery and needlework. His new friend, Tarquin who has won prizes for his embroider kindly offered to help Sheridan study. In fact they are up in his room now, thankfully embroidery is a quiet past time as have not heard a peep out of either. David and Retromom, Entire thanks goes to Gizmo, who kindly sent me new Hoover pump and other goodies from down under. Which reminds me must get to the bank to get Oz dollars for sending in kind. Using the Hoover TT is fun, but woudn't want to do my weekly laundry that way. It is fun for soaking and doing items that just do not "tumble" well in a front loader. Things such as lace/net curtains and lots of small items like napkins. Really do like the ability to do a good soak again. Something front loaders just do not do well IMHO. Oh yes, the extractor is hands down my favourtie function. Just wish the basket held more. | ||

Don't get me wrong, TT washing can be "fun" and once one has a certian sequence going probably quite fast as well. It is though allot of faffing about for doing laundry. Machine has to be set up....... and so on. Also find the spinning a bit strong for items such as dress shirts. Leaves lots of creases and that makes ironing all the more difficult. There is also the fact of small capacity for the spinner. One could probably get a king sized bed sheet and one or two pillow slips into the wash, but would likely have to spin the sheet on it's own to avoid crushing it down and making too many creases. Mind you probably will have a go one laundry day in doing a few days worth of wash just to look other members in they eye! *LOL* Launderess | ||
