If I ever upgrade coffee makers, it would need to be one that grinds the coffee, fills the reservoir, puts the coffee in the filter, dispenses the coffee, and then self-cleans the filter.

Amylase Enzyme, Benzisothiazolinone, Calcium Chloride, Citric Acid, Colorants, Copolymer of Acrylic Maleic and Sulphonic Acids, Fragrances, PEG/PPG/Propylheptyl Ether, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Silicate, Subtilisin, Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate, Water, Xanthan Gum.
I notice that citric acid is inn there listen 4th in order of quantity and above the maleic and sulphonic acids which probably are there as a buffer to work with the citric acid?
Amylase is there to break starches into sugars. Probably to attack common residuals on the inside of the washer.
Benzisothiazolinone is a preservative and antimicrobial. To keep the pellet fresh? And kill of bacteria in dishwasher leftover goop?
The other items are likely just filler to be able to make a cake of product.
So I see why just a high citric acid fruity drink would work to clean dishwashers. A longtime radio talk guy in Detroit who took calls on repairing home appliances said to use Tang (citric acid drink) and clean your dishwasher.
Joe also said to use white vinegar in a full clothes washer to remove build up of detergent on the side of the tub that's around the inner spinning tub.

20 plus years old. No flaws on the car. Rims, gas door area, rocker all looked great. Black was only offered one year iirc. 2001 or 2002.

@ab348,That’s the 23 y-o GE that has served me well. There’s a new stainless Bosch out in the garage still in its box awaiting installation.
The kitchen has had a few colors over the years.
Stainless stove and fridge but white DW?

For the GM guys … Legit Street Cars obtained a 1992 Cutlass International Series with the 3400 / 5 spd.
Very rare car. Cool videos to watch.
That was a really nice car. I had a ton of seat time in my buddies essential identical Grand Prix GTP although his was an auto. It was a very quick car for the times also.
The Olds version to me just has something over the Grand Prix.
Check out the videos if you get a chance

That’s a professional looking job. It must have been difficult considering you couldn’t take the bed off. I could have used someone with your skills on my old Chevy Express van.Did you use a rust encapsulator or a rust converter?
Converter.
I took a cutting wheel to the tailgate today. Chopped off the bottom half inch or so and plan on liquid-welding a steel plate on the bottom. I probably didn’t mention it, but the skin had come loose enough that it was catching on the bumper when trying to open the tailgate. So it messed up my previous patchwork.
