"Pray and Wash"...lol! That about sums it up!

@ Reply 3 Curious as to where you heard this news. Especially as Henkel - not Unilever - makes US Persil. Unilever handles the production and marketing in the UK.

I echo everyone else's sentiments. Arm & Hammer was never a decent detergent, and has only seemed to get worse over the years. Let's see what Consumer Reports comes back with.

This is ours…. Mrs. V and I have this portable Whirlpool. It’s old, and cleans like a beast.

@ Pierreandreply4 Unfortunately, this is something he does quite often, and it's breathtakingly annoying. Just do what I did; add him to the block list.

@ Reply 57 Ehh. I guess it depends. My wife and I actually LIKE our clothes to smell like said chemicals/fragrances, which is why we don't use any of the "Free and Clear" or unscented products. However... We also don't like to smell like a...I'll use my dearly departed father's analogy...

If you have one near you... ...try Burlington Coat Factory. I've always had good luck finding standard black tube socks there. My stepfather used to buy black tube-length diabetic socks from (everything used to be a) Dollar Tree. Not sure what the prices are like for socks there now, but I...

@ Rich I'm not sure if "eronie" did, but I blocked him several months ago. The rants and dredging up of old posts from a thousand years ago began to take their toll.

@eronie Thank you. I'm glad *someone* finally said it.

@ Eugene Well, huzzah for miracles! I'm glad it finally arrived! Several years ago, I stumbled across Indian Ariel, sold in the same style container (cardboard box, with a scoop and a bag). So, at least P&G is consistent with their packaging. What throws me, is that both the Tide and Ariel...

@ Rich Pending Eugene's response, I see that Amazon has both the top load, as well as a universal-type for sale. The top-load is $30 with free P&H. The universal is $23, with $27 in fees for P&H.

@ Eugene Yikes. I'm sorry to hear that the Tide Matic powder might be coming from a scam site. Kind of reminds me of when I came across Dash Pods being sold by a vendor on eBay for an unusually low price. I ordered it, and heard nothing. Several days later, eBay emailed me, stating that the...

Yet another update of sorts... Earlier today, I stopped at a local Indian supermarket on my way home from work. Towards the back of the store where the cleaning products were, what did I see? Liquid Tide-Matic. In both top load AND front load varieties. Not going to lie; I was a bit unhappy...

Recipe While I was unsuccessful in obtaining my mom's recipe for Chicken Marsala ("You KNOW I guard my recipes! This way, you and your brother look forward to family dinners!"), and Mrs. V was not giving up the rights to her meatloaf recipe (I begged, but...happy wife, happy life), I WAS able...

Link # 2 Here is the link to the other one. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/847811773789006/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Abe0871d5-2b3a-4aea-8593-239e923815fa

Came across two vintage portable dishwashers while researching for a friend of mine. Figured I'd post these here, in case anyone from the East Coast is interested. Not sure if either of these are decent machines, but they both look to be in decent shape (apparently, one of which was never...

Eugene... Great report! When I had used the Ariel-Matic, it was in both a top load washer, as well as an older front-load machine. I don't remember what kind of suds level it gave, but I do remember the crisp scent of the detergent. And yes - now I'm even more curious to see if there's a...

@ Reply 17 Yes - Joy still smells like lemons (or other citrus fruits, depending on what variety you choose) - but it is no longer made by P&G. Fun fact - I purchased the commercial version of Joy a few months back. The lemon scent was so minimal, that you could actually smell the chemicals...

@ Reply 22 Looking at the US versions of the powdered Miele detergent (which, I assume, are the same as what you've got over there), they do indeed contain zeolites.

@ Reply 18 And then, there’s this variety of Ace, which is wholly different than the version sold in Puerto Rico….
