I miss the Pledge Floor Cleaner that you mixed with water in a bucket, like Murphy's, but it was SO much better....

Ecover Floor Soap comes close, but no cigar.....

Lemon Scented Borax Fab. Wisk and Purex detergent tabs. Original scented Tide WITH phosphates. I can only thank God that Fresh Start is still around...I love that stuff.

I wasn't alive when Dash was on the market, but hearing great comments about it in the past, I'm surprised no one has mentioned that.

I also wish they still made Liquid Gold appliance polish as well. Strangely enough, I've used the wood version on appliances and it seems to work OK. No visible grain in the porcelain ;-)

Oh, a few more...

Classic blue Snuggle and Downy fabric softeners.

Colorizer Paint (REAL one-coat coverage!)

GE/Sylvania/Philips Soft Pink lightbulbs.

S.C. Johnson's Jubilee

Jubilee is still available- it's just not easy to find. It's in some hardware stores, and on the S.C. Johnson website, on the "hard-to-find" products page. I have found the bottled formula in a hardware store recently, but the Johnson Wax website shows only the aerosol spray version. $5.20 a can plus S + H.

Yes, Brite, that's it! Haven't seen it in California though, at least up to now. I'll have to wander into the old fashioned hardware down the street and see what they carry for cleaning supplies.

My wraparound percolator filters are nowhere to be found here either, unless I check and find them there. Otherwise, must remember to stock up when I'm in Arizona next month, which is where I got my last batch!

I do remember Clairol Herbal Essence Shampoo. They had these kind of psychadelic animated commercials for it, during American Bandstand.

Blue Torrent

Hi Chris,
No the Blue Torrent I was referring to was around many many years ago and I am pretty sure(but not 100%) that it was the precursor to Cold Power, you see it was a mainly cold water powder and from memory had similar packaging to the first Cold Power packets,with the raging tidal wave on the box.
Cheers.
Steve.

Glass Wax and the Window Wonderland!

Hey, whirlcool, you and I must both be the same age (mid-50s), since I also remember not only the Glass Wax, but also the stencils. You dipped a sponge into a dish of Glass Wax, dabbed it into the stencils, let it dry, and (assuming your windows didn't sweat like ours did) carefully peeled away the stencil for "beautiful holiday designs that turn your home into a Window Wonderland!" (I even remember the commercial--I think George Fenneman, who was Groucho Marx's sidekick on "You Bet Your Life," did the voice-over for Glass Wax commercials in the 1950s.) Our windows sweated, so those beautiful holiday designs melted into ugly pink blobs...and the stencils were kept to use with spray snow when we ran out of Glass Wax!
