that manufacturers and other hype meisters are getting just a tad too hysterical about "sanitary." For me, clean is quite good enough. Lawrence/Maytagbear |

No, more like a force-feeding of energy-saving products, leaving the consumer with little choice but. |

Silver nitrate routinely goes in the eyes of newborns to prevent blindness. I'm not so sure i like the idea of adding metal particles/ions to my laundry. Many other (heavy) metals have been attributed to illness/diseases/cancer. IMHO, not worth the risk. I find the germ-phobia hysterical in light of the general lack of domestic cleanliness standards these days. Ten fancy mops and a dozen vacuum-cleaners does not get the house clean. One of each used frequently, I believe, works better. |

LOL--I knew one of y'all would say that!! It is fair to say that there will be one installed before the next TX wash-in. But...I didn't specify that I washed my whites up at the house. |

I'm not so concerned about silver in the wash water. After all, most of us have silver dental fillings. Additionally, people seem to eat off silver tableware with no ill effects. And practially nobody drinks laundry wash water... :-) Like others here, what I'm more concerned about is that the "silver sanitation" feature will lull people into thinking that inadequate temperatures, detergent amounts, and wash time that result in still-soiled laundered fabrics will be ok since the silver will kill everything anyway. This is one reason why I'm so much of an advocate for laundry phosphates and hot water - they seem to clean better than anything else out there, and if the fabric is clean then the germ count will naturally be low. |

I'm less concerned about incidental bacteria than I am about whitening without chlorine bleach and killing off all the other nasty stuff that can be in there. I also would like to accomplish this in less than 2 hours. Which is why I care more about machines that can heat their water and why I'm such a broken record about MAKING THESE MACHINES TO RUN ON 220 VOLTS!!!!
