Does anyone know if buying cleaning tablets like that is worth it, or can plain citric acid do the trick? We have well water, and I go through a lot of citric acid, including in the dish washer, as a hair rinse, to clean out the tea kettle... It does seem to help, and I haven’t noticed any...

I remember buying the Alba77 diet shakes as a teenager in the 80s. It was all about the calories.

Merry Christmas/ Wesołych Świat! I live in the US and it’s been a while since I’ve been to Europe, but I love European laundry detergents, and buy them in local European markets. For some reason I think some of the imports I see in the Polish markets are from Germany too, but I could wrong on...

@Laundress- thank you for posting. I have seen those products online, just not willing to pay those prices. Nice variety, though! I’d love to try some of those. @volvoman- I keep holding out hope that I find it locally, too. I’ve seen the German Persil, but can’t recall which scents. Next time...

volvoman- if I ever see it, I’m going to buy it, although I’ve never seen the liquid, only the powder. And even then it’s sold out half the time. Curious to try the E liquid, since I wonder if the scent would be much stronger in the liquid. Powders don’t seem to bothers me as much, but I’ll...

Eddie- Yeah it’s not a bad smell necessarily, but I think for people who were used to how it smelled before, the change was kind of jarring. It’s like if you took how it smells now and took out that fruity/ apple note, and made the over all scent softer and milder, and that was the smell it had...

Eddie- Palmolive confirmed the scent changed about 6 years ago. I guess that’s how companies do it, though. They change the scent to appeal to a modern market, and oftentimes it’s subtle enough that many people don’t even notice, or aren’t sensitive enough to scent changes for it to bother them...

Isn’t it good? :)

*also I meant to add, I notice it too with hand soaps. The Bath & Body Works strength, and the American mass market ones (with the exception of maybe Jergens), the scents are really strong and stay on your hands. The ones I received yesterday smell light, and I can only smell the scent when...

mrboilwash- I think everything you said is very true. I know they do that with haircare too, keeping up with perfume trends. Pantene is one that apparently tweaks the scent of their haircare as perfume trends change, and you often find long term users of their products upset when that happens...

gizmo- those Australian cleaning/ laundry products sound wonderful. 😍 angus- and so do your vintage phosphated ones. I keep looking and experimenting, but I never really found laundry detergent or automatic dishwasher detergent that works as well as those did.

I never heard of this until more recently years. Wouldn’t try it. In the 90s when I was in college, Levi’s 501s were all the rage, but I don’t recall hearing about people doing this back then, either. My friend and I used to comb thrift and vintage clothing stores for the right fade and fit...

I love E. I have the powder for whites as well as the one for colors. They work well in hot water washes. There’s another brand I bought around the same time called called Bryza, and that one doesn’t work as well. Even when you put the laundry powder in first and start to fill the machine with...

I feel the same way about American scented products. Sometimes I go to Hispanic or Polish markets and buy theirs. For some reason those scents don’t bother me as much. But for the most part I buy unscented (free & clear), including dryer sheets. I do, however, like the fabric softeners scents...

Although I don’t enjoy pods for laundry, I do like this Texas/ US brand, LemiShine, and their dishwasher pods:

unimatic1140- those Addit containers are adorable. So cool that you saved them! Whenever I see things like that, it reminds me that some day l’d like to go to the Museum of Failed Products in Michigan. I bet they have a lot of fun things like that...
