I like the Cheer with softener liquid, original Cheer powder, Wisk HE Triple Concentrate, and All powder (available at Walgreens), Tide Coldwater Fresh, Kirkland, and Final Touch Fabric Softener. Opening up new box of Surf Ocean Breeze from Target tonight. I'll also occasionally use the Ajax...

That's not a bad price at ALL if you want one that's going to last. I know exactly how you feel about the disposa-mowers. It's frustrating.

Beautiful kitchens. rickr, what is the name of that soft light green paint you've used on the kitchen walls? I keep trying to find a color just like that, but my testers always come up too harsh. Really nice color!

I've often wondered if calling up these corporations and commenting on all of these changes would actually change anything.

Detroit could come back.... I'm a lifelong New Yorker.... I would think that anyone coming back to this city after five years' absence would be flabbergasted at the amount of new development and restoration of neighborhoods... I was skeptical at first, but I AM seeing wonderful homes being...

I've been thinking that, if there was one product they could easily resurrect (besides old Oxydol, Dash, and Solo lol!) it would be Fresh Start! It smelled fresh and clean, whitened and brightened, got out tough stains, and didn't fade the clothes! It was naturally low-sudsing and came in a...

Powders have almost disappeared from my northern New Jersey supermarkets, and have, except for Tide in the smallest boxes and Ariel, have totally disappeared from stores in Brooklyn. Many Target and K-Mart stores have some in stock (I bought two boxes of Surf at Target last night, they carry...

I've actually been giving the stuff I don't like to the local battered womens' shelter (their budgets are shrinking dangerously)....

I just spent over an hour looking at those photos!

I'm BACK.....from Target.... Well, they had powdered supplies, much more than my supermarket. I bought two decent-sized boxes of Surf ("Ocean Breeze" and "Spring Fresh"). Only plain Tide, with Bleach, and with Downy. No more Coldwater or HE powders, only the liquids. They had the Arm and...

I'm not big on spray cans.... Truthfully, I never use those aerosol products, not for environmental concerns, but because I feel as though I'm paying for air.... I think I'm gonna reserve the "Orange Glo" in the pump bottle for the tiles and shower door in the bathroom, after I power-scrub and...

Very interesting. I deliberately don't use washing soda anymore, because my water doesn't respond to it! More and more supermarkets around here only carry Tide and Arm and Hammer powders....to top it off, the only Tide I liked, the cold water powder, is being phased out (another Oxydol, lol!)...

Happy Birthday!

Wow. Thanks for the feedback. I guess that rules that one out! Well, I've seen powdered All at Walgreens, there's a possibility that Target still carries the large boxes of Surf, and the Fab and Dynamo liquids are priced ridiculously low on clearance around here. All of the above are less...

In my neighborhood, many dry-cleaning establishments are located within laundromats. Yesterday, when I was in there picking up, I saw a sign over the machines: "Please don't use Arm and Hammer POWDER detergent in our machines-they CLOG THE PIPES!! (The liquid or any other detergent is OK!!"...
