I've been using this stuff religiously over the years, whatta waste!

2
Yeah but here in Switzerland, a washing machine doesn't cost a mere 295£.

You could also wash without clothes, once per year with the contents of a bottle of liquid Anti-Chalk, about CHF 4,-- at the Coop.

(I left it open there for some raucous comments)

I wash without clothes on a daily basis. But what would that anti-chalk do to my skin?

5
ça commence...

6
whaaat??

The adverts are lying??

damnit I just bought 300 tubes of "toothpaste" hoping that my teeth will be transparent...what a sad surprise...

7
What is happening to the world??

Next thing is that someone will prove that men do not get more attractive by using Axe!

But with Calgon, the study states clearly that the machine is spotlessly clear from the inside too!! Now I feel Swiss when using it. That can only be good for our integration. (*insert angry Blocher-smiley here*)

Are you implying that this is true!

I've been using Lynx (British version) religiously for many years and attributed my success with the ladies (or rather lack of it) to be entirely the direct consquence of my choice of deo

I had a little washing machine in my last-last flat a few years ago, where the water was as hard as concrete. Kettle & iron grew fur at an astonishing rate and required regular descaling. The iron passed away as a result of limescale complications.

But, out of curiosity, wondering what the fur situation inside the washing machine would be, I took it apart. Heating element? No scale anywhere. Pumps, pipes, drum? No scale in sight. And this washing machine was quite old, been used a lot (including 90degC washes - limescale only forms above 60degC). I had never used calgon, or anything other than washing powder. Neither was the washing machine connected via a water softener.

Calgon? Load of hogswallop.

Washing powder has water softening compounds in it, apparently, so no limescale anyway!

Cheers,

Chris

Is there a pill similar to Calgon that I can swallow before showering and would cause the (glass) shower walls to not get kalked-up? Or maybe even talk to the govt. and put this directly in the water supply?

12
Neither does £295 worth of Calgon!

13
So, so true!

14
Hrm...

I only need to do laundry for two adults (hubby and myself) and even I have more than three loads per week.

Just who do these "normal conditions" apply to anyhow?

Do most meals end like this in your house?
