Actually,there is a new version of Skip color products that are sold in France but unfortunately not in Greece.What brands of color detergents are sold in Bulgaria?Does OMO have such a variant?

Back to '90s we did have "color" detergents.Besides regular Skip which had a blue packaging,there was also Skip color which had a green packaging.It was discontinued in the early '00s,while the packaging design was revamped and new variants of Skip made their appearance such as Aloe vera.Now we...

You are lucky that you didn't set it to 90,thinking it was 90 minutes.The outcome would be some doll sized shirts.In europe all washers have internal heaters and they have their temperature setting in centigrade degrees instead of desctriptions such as hot,warm,cold that american washers have.I...

In greece Ariel is TOL,just like in the rest of europe.Lenor detergent is the secondary brand that focuses on scent.About 15 years ago we had Bold too,but it was discontinued in 2004 as I said on another thread about discontinued products.P&G here also produces Essex which is a sold as a budget...

Liquid capsules 14 years ago When did those detergent capsules first come out?I remember that Skip had launched an early form of liquid capsules around 2001-2002,a very very long time before liquid capsules/pods/pacs became a worldwide marketing trend.They were round,discus-shaped pods that...

If everything except beeping works fine,maybe just the chime has gone kaputt.Does it make other beeps and sounds except end signal(e.g. when it starts or when buttons are pressed)?On the picture i see water left in drum.Does it hold water when it ends,even though you don't select rinse hold?If...

Here,OMO is also sold as a secondary brand,with the butterfly logo similar to british Surf,like in France,while the worldwide OMO star-like logo is used for Skip.

Another memory that hit me: Unilever's british brands Surf and Radion have made a brief appearance on greek market in the decade of '90s.They were secondary/budget lines of products,as Skip was always the top of the line product since 1967.I remember that Radion was emphasizing on its...

Tide for automatic washers was also sold in Greece in the '80s and '90s.I think it was called "Tide-o-matic".It was discontinued in the late '90s.Since then,only hand-washing Tide is available.

Found another 2 photos,including and the matching dryer

Another weird thing about this washer is that it doesn't have a programme selection knob,only a temperature selector with 3 temp settings(cold,warm,hot).It starts automatically when you put a token and push the coin slider.I assume that it is a laundromat machine,so it has only one preset...

Small and mighty liquid is called "Skip πανίσχυρο μικρό" here.I assume that all Skip liquids and capsules are EXACTLY the same with Persil ones.They are maybe manufactured in the same manufacturing plant.I was wondering if Skip powder is the same with Persil powder too.As I remember,until early...

Febreze had also made its appearance on greek market in late '90s(maybe '98 or '99),but it didn't stay on greek supermarket shelves for a long time.It was discontinued a couyple years after its first launch.It failed because in Greece it is uncommon to spray fragrance on clothes to mask odors.If...

Calgonit was the continental european name for Finish/Electrasol. In 2009 the product was renamed to "Finish" in all countries,probably in order to avoid confusion with "Calgon". A discontinued laundry detergent I remember in Greece is P & G's Bold 2 in 1-detergent and fabric conditioner in one...

Calgon is a scam.Its "secret" ingredients are already contained in almost every detergent formula.If you live in a hard water area,the best you can do is slightly increase the dosage of the detergent(according to the packaging instructions) and every 3-4 months run a maintenance wash with baking...

Here in europe,tide is sold only as a hand-washing detergent.It can't be used in automatic washers because it would cause oversudsing.The european equivalent to american Tide for auto washers is Ariel.

Henkel Persil is sold also in Greece,but it has absolutely no connection to unilever's Skip(english Persil),or german Persil(Ηenkel's TOL detergent is named Dixan).It is a range of special liquid detergents for sensitive and fine clothing(woolens,silk,blacks etc).I think that it is named Perwoll...

I've noticed that british Persil packaging is very similar to our "Skip"(except bio/non bio distinction-almost all detergents are bio here).I searched it further and I found out that Unilever sells it's top of line detergent range with different names depending on the...

Lenor produces dryer sheets???Despite Lenor is one of the most popular brands of fabric conditioner in greece,I've never ever seen them at any store.Probably they are sold only in Germany.Recently i have seen on shelves a new weird product called "Lenor unstoppables".It is an in-wash laundry...

Here in Greece and generally in Europe,almost all washers are front-loaders.Even the top loaders are different than american ones because they have a horizontal drum that tumbles exactly like a front loader.The only classic american top loader i've found in greece was a speed queen in a summer...
