Bingo Laundry Soap.. What Country is this from?

[exploder3211]

Ok.. An addition to my dollar store laundry soap collection includes a bottle of Spectra and some "Hi-Foaming"Bingo.. Where is this from? Made by Colgate-Palmolive, but for what country?

 

[exploder3211]

English side

If that is Afrikaans, perhaps South Africa??

(I'm guessing because I don't believe there'd be much of a market for high-foaming detergent in the Netherlands...)

My next guess would be the West Indies....

 

[exploder3211]

Not sure... I love dime store detergents.. AM going to reserch futher

High Foaming my AS*! I wanted a nice big suds cake in the frigidaire and nothing,, I used 1/4 a cup! just a nice layer of suds...

Yeah, my favorite dollar-store toothpaste, Colgate Herbal, comes from there.

It's flavored with chamomile, sage, myrhh, and eucalyptus.

 

[exploder3211]

It leaves a very pleasent arouma on my cloths.. Not strong, but kinda soapy.. It's great

I've used that colgate stuff and its good too

 

[appnut]

It's your business, but you know what damage SUDS do to a front loader!!!

 

[exploder3211]

yea i know (big grin)... Also have a 5 year warranty from Lowes... So...

PINE Glo crap...

Isn't pine an oil that "uses up" any detergent thereby reducing suds?

 

[oxydolfan1]

IIRC he has a dollar store laundry detergent made by Pine-Glo, not an actual pine-oil disinfectant (which, by the by, I HAVE witnessed some folks pouring into their machines at the laundromat...)
