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.
 
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.
