    Washing machine dispenser drawers?

    There is no siphon in that compartment - the bleach just flows straight on down to the drum (I'm guessing it's the drum anyway). It's the last thing that I put in the drawer.

    Washing machine dispenser drawers?

    So it flows straight into the drain, not the drum? Is that what you mean? When putting bleach into a wash, you're supposed to put your detergent in one compartment and then the bleach into another (not in the fabric softner one) - this is according to my washing machine manual anyway. The...

    Washing machine dispenser drawers?

    Thank you! Now this is more of a curiosity thing...there are 3 compartments in the dispenser drawer. I know the water enters the compartments and then flows into the drum. Are there 3 different pipes leading to the drum (one from each compartment)?

    Washing machine dispenser drawers?

    When you overfill the compartments in a washing machine drawer, where does the liquid go? Does it eventually reach the drum?

    Washing machine drain hose

    Will try this - hot tap water okay? Or does it need to be boiling? Here's a pic of the hose (it's pretty bent ...it looks like it'll get twisted when i attach both ends). The connection on the washing machine is in the left-hand corner at the back of the machine - couple of inches off floor. Pic...

    Washing machine drain hose

    Just got a top loader samsung washing machine. The drain hose appears to be too narrow to fit onto the connector on the washing machine. Any quick fixes?

    Rust on SMC

    Thnks all. Will suggest all the above to property owner. Domestos is bleach. I thought bleach was bad for rust. It's the blue bottle that has been recommended.

    Rust on SMC

    Thanks. I don't think Iron Out or Goo Gone are available where I live. Does anyone know if SMC is easily stained? The cans can't have been there for more than a few days, and one stain in particular is really bad. I'm guessing the cans had rust on them before I put them down, and I didn't realise.

    Rust on SMC

    There's rust on an SMC shower tray (left from cans left on surface). Rust marks not removed by baking soda, Jif or 30 Seconds rust remover. The manufacturer has apparently suggested trying Domestos level 8 corrosive in a blue bottle. I'm pretty certain bleach is a bad idea. Does anyone have...

    drain overflowing

    I live in an apartment and have a drain on the bathroom floor. When i take a shower (i admit i use a lot of soap), foam comes up from the drain. Is that dirty shower water that's coming up? Or is from somewhere else? Will the problem go away if I stop using as much soap? Thanks
