I rarely watch TV as it is, but having this machine would render my set utterly useless.

Alex they could bring us our 'Special Meds' while we sit in our Lay-Z-Boys in front of the Miele's ('cept I don't have one!) I'll get a extra pill because I have a top loader!

plus another extra pill for figuring out after 6 posts that LiGi means Little Giant! I need to see a doctor!

@Jean.....We can thank AlexChicago for the LiGi name. I love the name GiGi, so LiGi was a perfect fit for my Little Giant! LiGi is so much better than calling it the LG. Lol!! ha ha ha ha

HaHa. Honestly, I didn't know I made that up! I thought I saw it somewhere. Well, now I've at least made a valuable contribution to this forum :)

Jean I don't need a pill watching my TL..its the perfect washer for me, cleans everything I throw at it, only two things I would change, the delicate cycle, I'd make it about 12 minutes long on the wash cycle just with a slow agitation, and I'd add a heater so I could stop carrying my soup pot. LOL. But I do need one of those pills for the hubs, he's on my last nerve today haha

Still saving....sigh... I love your videos Larsi!

What are your thoughts on Miele CareCollection UltraWhite Multi-purpose powder versus Tide HE Turbo Bleach Alternative liquid detergent for Miss LiGi?

I would think the Miele CareCollection UltraWhite Multi-purpose powder would be like Miss LiGi sipping Champagne instead of a cold beer.

Pawprint....Miele UltraWhite powder is what I have and use for my whites. I have been using it for a very long time now (even when I still had my Electrolux). It is even better than vintage Tide with Bleach powder (that is excellent too and I still have one unopened box). I DO NOT like Miele UltraColor powder, but MamaP likes it (I gave her mine).

If you have not tried or used Miele UltraWhite...it is phenomenal. Of course it can be used in a FL or TL, but it is not cheap, so probably best in a FL. I only need about 1 TBS and 140 or 160F gives me blinding whites!!

I really do like this Tide Bleach Alternative "he" liquid, but no liquid will ever replace my powders. It's fun using liquids once a week or so, and this liquid leaves everything smelling and feeling great, but I firmly believe powders are best for machines, especially FLs. :)

I'm with Larsi on this, a good powder is best all around IMO....but playing with liquids won't hurt a thing...but for a daily driver, no, besides a good powder will always outclean a liquid detergent. ..IMO.

I have never tried any Miele products. I do have the Tide Turbo, but rarely use it. For the past couple months I use Ariel and Persil for everything. I love the heavy perfume smell and have not had a sour batch yet.

Alex is sending me some Miele dishwasher tabs to try out. Can't wait!

Yep -- I'm sending you Miele and Method tabs as well as plenty of the Cascade Boilout (I certainly have plenty!). Look forward to hearing how you rank them.

Thanks Alex!

Larsi, my dog is named Gigi (thats how I spell it ;) I love the name too! Here she is NOT leaving DS2 alone. this was 4 years ago.

enduring.....GiGi is so cute!! Love that you posted this pic. Thanks love!!

Scott, you will not be disappointed with Miele ultra white !!! Our ever so generous Larsi sent me some a few months ago and it removed blue jean ink that had rubbed into my daughters white gauzy shirt that she wore with brand new very dark jeans! It also left my kids school white polos unbelievably blinding white! It is however very expensive so you could order a small box and save for emergency loads. Lol

Oh and thanks to mr Larsi I bought my tide w bleach liquid yesterday!

Scott..do a online search for Miele dealers near you..if there is none than try Miele vacume dealers..if you can find ine of these close to you they can get you Miele detergent and Persils. No shipping.

@ Miami Mami.....The Tide w/Bleach Alternative is great actually!!! Enjoy. Let me know how you are liking it!
