Pet Therapy. I have found that if you can have animals at your facility, do it!!! They can be a lot of work but they residents really respond to dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, turtles and most any animals.And the fun part is that you can get your residents to help with their care, feeding, and walking the dogs. Ball Toss.
Meile, Bosch, Asko, and other European manufacturers had a built-in advantage in knowledge and experience making European style front loading washing machines. Because of the peculiarities of the American market, they lost a bit of that advantage.
I know this is like a 3 year old thread, but I had the same question, so I called Bosch. This is what the Bosch rep told me. Any dishwasher with the Water Softener Feature is Made in Germany. This feature requires a special salt that is made specifically for water softener. Not your regular table salt.
