The dangers of soap dust

Soap dust was one of the things people had to deal with in the days before liquid detergent became more common.

It got up your nose:



Plus, it was explosive:

Who uses liquid detergent in their washing machine?

The U.S. Bureau of Mines did some marvelous work in its day.

And that's why today all we've got to worry about is non-dairy creamer.

I use liquid detergent - I find it convenient. I can't think of the last time I saw Rinso on the market.

I would add the dust that results from moving and grinding grains. The midwest of the U.S. has its problems with explosions in storage facilities.

Alex' last arrest record states he claimed it was just powdered detergent in baggie corners. NO WAY was it anything else ? :roll: 😕

I like liquid detergent too. The powdered stuff clumps sometimes liquid mixes better.

Strange, my machine isn´t designed to accept liquid, only powder.

Our machine is designed to accept whatever the wife puts in it.

Not all of us are cavemen.

Hay F.U.D., I don't let the wife mess with the cable box and she won't let me mess with her wash machine, neither of which are even near a cave!

I don´t "own" the entertainment system and my wife doesn´t "own" the washing machine, they´re both community property purchased with our pooled joint incomes. As such whoever lives in the home is expected to know how to, and to, use said appliances when necessary.
But if living in the 50´s rings your bell that´s your buisness.

@ F.U.D., Easy dude, It's all about tolerance! I think you might have to go back a little further, Medieval code of chivalry perhaps!? :lol:
Expat is a TRUE gentleman in the finest sense of the word!
If you don't like the way someone else lives, mind your own buisness!! :lol:

Perhaps you should also look up the word facetious F.U.D.

Everybody ease up or I'm a'gonna haft'a climb up out of my cave and start thumpin' folks with ma tree branch!

@Ty: You have give F.U.D. some forbearance, he lives South of the Mason-Dixon and doesn't like Country music.

@Patty: Hell! I had to look up the word "facetious"!
