Julie, you'd probably get arrested for sending chemicals through the mail. I'm not sure, but it could be perceived in the wrong way by the US postal service. It is very nice of you to think of doing that, but I'd hate reading about you in the Breaking Headlines thread...

We had them in Georgia, too, but I thought Piggly Wiggly was a southern based grocery chain!

We still have a Piggly Wiggly in Savannah & there is on in Bluffton, SC right across the river. All of the ones around the Augusta, GA area closed a number of years ago though.

We had Piggly Wiggly here in Oregon up until about the '70s and then they pulled out.

Also, remember anything you cannot find at your local grocery store can alway be found online.

LOL, we'd have to break into the TVCH bail fund! Thanks Julie! How harsh is that? I have to be careful with soaps and such with my sensitive skin. If I have to use something like that though I guess I could just rewash it later in my regular detergent.

Julieboo, I think you need to get a Lestoil distributorship.

Does it matter what temperature the water is when you are running your disposal?

Depends on what's in the disposal. If by some odd chance there was some grease I would run hot water. If it's just veggies and scraps I run cold.

Texannie, my ex used to dump left over fried stuff down the disposal and NOT RUN IT!!! Used to clog the heck out of it (grease would get hard), so I have learned to run hot water for a few minutes then run the disposal for about 1-2 minutes and then run cold .

FWIW, I did see on the news (a local channel) that when you put grease down the disposal you should run cold water, because then the grease will go though the pipes. They said if you use hot that it keeps the grease liquid for a while but as it gets further down the pipes it solidifies against the pipe wall.

Dipo, the opposite happened when I did cold water,could not even RUN the disposal until hot water was ran and liquified the grease.

Maybe this belongs in "Hairball Haven" but I have a question about those automatic litter boxes.

Ours just "stopped." No rhyme or reason to it. Then DH tinkered with it a little more and couldn't find a reason why it stopped. Right in the middle of a cycle too. Anyone have this happen to them? Is there a way to fix it, or do I have to buy another one?

Thanks!

The soot on my sweatshirt came out! Since I didn't have anything special in the house I just washed it in cold and detergent and let it air dry. Thanks guys!

I use whatever water temp I'm running at the time I turn the disposal on. We use a grease can and drain grease into that. We have too many plumbing probs to be dumping much in the disposal though I will do a few left over veggies or some fruit. Whenever I use lemons to cook or the kids eat oranges I'll throw the left overs down to make it smell pretty for a little bit.

So am I Twinks! I love my sweatshirts. I turn off the heaters when the kids go to school and wear them all the time during the winter. In summer Darren loves the cooler usually while I'm freezing my butt off and wear them then too, lol. I got two new ones this year and both are about two sizes too big and soft and comfy and have turned into my absolute favorites. It'd have really ticked me off it I couldn't get it out!

I know that feeling! I have a couple of sweaters that I love to wear around the house that it would kill me to ruin them! Isn't it usually the way that the simplest things work the best? I've always washed stains in cold water and detergent and line dry first before trying anything else because something else way make it worse.

Texannie: I also heard on a local news report to use cold water with grease/disposal. (i'd been using hot.)

googled and found this:

......The most often clogged drain is the kitchen sink. Kitchen sink stoppages are usually caused by liquid fats, emulsified by warm soapy dishwater and then carried through the drainpipes. As the water cools it proceeds down the drain and leaves the fatty deposits along the piping. A film of grease forms on the pipe wall and so on. Coffee grounds, egg shells, etc add to this accumulation layer until the pipe becomes impassible.

We recommend that you pour excess grease into a tin can, not down the sink drain. When using a garbage disposal, always let sufficient cold water run to carry the particles down and into the main line to prevent buildup in the smaller waste lines...........

I was always told to use cold water, especially with grease, so that it would chunk up a bit and be washed down.. seems that hot water just had it coat the area.

But my disposal is frozen and not working so no worries cuz nothing goes down it now.
