A Vintage Product Question

[retromania]

Does anyone know where I might find pink lotion detergent? It was discontinued here a number of years ago, but thought someone might know of a specialty store or website offering vintage-type products.

Texize which had a plant near here was the last mass producer that I knew of and I haven't seen Texize pink dish detergent on the shelf since the 1980's. Then Winn-Dixie Grocery Stores here carried pink lotion detergent under their house label Lillac until early 2000's. Winn-Dixie is no more!

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I may be telling you something you already know, but have you tried Dollar General, Dollar Tree, or Big Lots, or maybe any independent grocers in your area? Check online too, if you are like me and haven't thought of that yet. Good luck!

If you have a Mexican grocer nearby, they usually carry pink Vel Rosita, it has a nice floral scent if that's your thing.

Here in Michigan, there is a chain of stores called GFS (Gordon Food Service) that caters to restaurants as well as individuals. They basically sell big cans of everything, frozen prepared foods, etc. They have a great selection of commercial cleaners, including pink lotion detergent. It is sold in a gallon jug.

I would check out a local restaurant supply - someone is obviously still making it.
