I have 2 favorites actually..I really like Cheer,original scent powder. Also, I ordered Oxydol with Bleach powder off the internet and must say It smells great and cleans quite well.
Favorite vintage detgergent is Classic Tide from the 70's and 80's and Oxydol..
For me I much prefer to use plain old Cascade Powder,Lemon Scent in my Bosch Dishwasher. My hubby on the other hand much prefers Cascade/Dawn..Gelpacs. Since I am the one who does the shopping,I won out!
I find it very sad that many supermarkets have chosen to not sell a variety of powdered detergent. Personally, I think powder cleans so much better on heavily soiled clothes. Alot of the liquids on the market today smell nasty and are watered down. I have no desire for my clothes to smell like...
GOP and Oil company CEO's
Does anyone notice how coincidental it is that we are 7 weeks away from the midterm elections.The GOP led congress is at stake and suddenly gas prices fall? What is BUSH? an Oilman,What is Cheney? an Oilman. Who are their biggest supporters? The CEO's of energy and gas...
How sad was I to learn the sassy and fabulous Ann Richards has died. This lady was a great governor and amazing friend to Texas..She died peacfully at her home in Austin after a 7 month battle with cancer of the esophagus.
Rest in Peace.....
Oxydol
I ordered Oxydol with Bleach Powder off the internet. I have to say this is one great detergent! The smell is awesome and it cleans my whites very well..especially when I added a bit of Borax. I highly recommend this product an its very reasonable price wise..I wish they sold it in...

re: Purex
Purex has to be the worst detergent on the market!! No wonder it didn't get your towels white.
Also, remember until about the early 90's, they added phosphates to laundry detergents.. Well, many on this board,including myself have complained that todays modern detergents such as...
Classic Top Job
Why do these companies mess with a good thing? The original Top Job with ammonia was fabulous on floors! I would love to get my hands on this wonderful all purpose cleaner.
The Top Job found in dollar store is not the same!,awful scent too!!
I recently placed an online order of the fabulous classic detergent, Oxydol.( 4 -100oz boxes for 23.00) I can't find it here at all in stores here in Florida.
Has anyone seen it in their local supermarket?..This is one great detergent. I sure hope it still has the same great scent!
~Thanks
Does anyone care to share their favorite Vintage Laundry Detergents?
Mine is Cold Power and the original formula of Cheer, back when the powder was blue!
I miss the old scents, everything now is too over the top and fragranced.
Right now I am using Tide Powder, original scent. It cleans awesome!
Oxydol/Tide
Unimatic1140- I agree with you about Tide being a more powerful detergent. Oxydol is awesome, I don't understand why I can't find it here in Florida. It has the best scent of any powder on the market. Try Mule20 Borax powder with your Oxydol, Its really amazing for colors and...
Oxydol
Oxydol is a great powder. You are lucky they sell it where you live. add with a 1/2 cup of mule 20 borax and bluette bluing in your rinse and your whites will SPARKLE!
Lowe's
Insulinpumpuser- I agree completely with your post about Lowe's and their customer service. I ordered a Whirlpool Gold dishwasher for my condo and they delivered a bottom of the line Maytag! I refused the dishwasher, only to wait a month to get my Whirlpoll installed!! The store manager...
All Powder
PeterH770- you can order ALL Powder from www.gristedes.com..It is a NYC based grocer that carries alot of our favorites such as ALL,Ajax and Yes. I also order my RedPack Canned tomatoes, the best canned tomatoes on the market.
They ship based on the weight of the products ordered.
