Over the years When I was young, my parents would buy on sale a lot. But there a few brands they bought the most: Dash, Surf and Tide. I remember when I was a kid, the big bright yellow box of Dash near the washing machine. It had the most pleasant scent. We did use Ultra Clorox Detergent for a...

The Compact Powders of 2011 We've talked about the liquids, but what about the new powders from P&G coming early next year? It'll be interesting to see how people here will adapt to using 1/3 less powder. I remember the first Ultra powders in the early 90's, followed by the Ultra2 powders in...

Spottings in Denver Scored three tubs of Cascade Complete pacs with phosphates. The King Soopers I shop at doesn't do a good job of rotating, because I also saw pre-Finish Electrasol Gelpacs and Tabs.

2003 era Electrasol Spotted four boxes of 2003-4 era Electrasol Powerballs in the return basket at work. And they were cheap - $2.97

Sun Products' Powders According to where you shop here in Denver, you can find: All Original at Walgreens Surf with Bleach at Rite Aid (if still available) Surf Oxi Active at Albertsons All Free & Clear at King Soopers Surf Spring Burst at Walmart Surf Aloha Fresh at Walmart Surf Floral...

Compaction It will involve all of P&G's powders - Tide, Gain, Dreft, Cheer and Ivory Snow. http://www.pg.com/en_US/downloads/innovation/factsheet_PowderCompaction.pdf

supermarketnews.com has an article on P&G's concentration of it's powder detergents. And it has a date set for the rollout: February 14th, 2011. http://supermarketnews.com/news/pandg_packagin_0902/

Charmin with Febreze? I doubt P&G will take it that far. P&G tried before with Charmin Scents. While it smelled good, it never sold well and was later discontinued. The new Febreze Cinnamon Sugar & Home is nice. The new Gain Fresh Scent one is nice too, but just like it's namesake, it can be...

More new items Big news in the detergent offerings... We're getting specialty products - mostly Seventh Generation products. But with the addition of these products means a dramatic shrinkage in the powder offerings. To make up for that, Trend and more Xtra and Arm & Hammer liquids are being...

New things in the cleaning/laundry aisle (as of right now): Wisk (Deep Clean, Bleach Alternative, Fresh Boost) Tide Original and Tide w/Febreze Sport Febreze air fresheners with Gain Fresh Scent Febreze Cinnamon-Sugar Air Fresheners Gain Dishwashing Liquid Lysol NeutraAir fabric disinfecting spray.

Wisk Coldwater Power Did three loads with it. I am impressed. It's thicker than Tide Coldwater, formulated for both machines, rinsed out and cleaned better as well.

Walmart & Detergents Well, my store got a thorough remodel back in May and several brands returned: Xtra Arm & Hammer Era We've been getting a lot of requests to bring Wisk back. But we're getting new products in a few months - the entire cleaning section is getting reset in a few weeks.

Regular Tide Regular Tide (Original Fresh) is still available. At my Walmart, we sell it in the 120 load standard powder and 80 load HE powder. The Regular Tide (1-Cup formula sold in Canada) isn't sold anymore as of last year, when P&G phased it out in favor of the Ultra 2/Compact format. It...

The new Wisk line Here's what I know so far: One is new: Wisk Coldwater Power Two are renamed: Wisk Original - Wisk Deep Clean Wisk Citrus Clean - Wisk Fresh Boost Then there are: Wisk with Bleach Alternative Wisk High Efficiency

All Small & Mighty I still have a bottle of All Small & Mighty w/Snuggle. It has: Cleaning agents (Anionic and Non-ionic) Fabric Softener Buffering agent Stabilizer Perfume Brightening agent Colorant The Wisk Muli-Action has enzymes and possibly polymers, if it too got the "Stain Spectrum...

Spotted the HE variant at King Soopers. Looks like the entire Wisk line is getting a restage, along with an improved stain fighting formula, Stain Spectrum Technology. It looks like Sun's returning Wisk to it's role as the lower priced alternative to Tide. I might try the Deep Clean version...

I bought a bottle at work and noticed that it was stronger smelling than before. Supposedly the scent pearls technology got updated. The April Fresh smells different as well.

The new Tide Powder I didn't see the new powder. I know that Canada Tide went to a compact format, but it's the same as ours.

Well, there will not be a nationwide rollout of Tide Basic. The WSJ article says that P&G will focus instead on the rollout of Tide Actilift liquids and powders over the next year. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704629804575324940521990382.html

Tide & Gain Powder The Cincinnati Enquirer article mentioned that the powders will get a "formula upgrade" in February. Which means, come February, we'll get a concentrated Tide powder, possibly with Actilift and concentrated Gain powder with the Perfume Micro-Capsule technology that's in Bold...
