Cleaning Products You Miss.....

I will always miss Salvo, that was my all time favorite detergent. I also miss Sweetheart bath soap, it had a very lime scent and always had a clean feel when finished. Loved the stuff. Also miss the original Ivory dish soap.

Am I recalling correctly, Sweetheart fabric softener?

Two standouts for me:

Tide Powdered Laundry detergent in the 60s. I sneezed every time I got near the box, but to this day, that smell is what I associate with REALLY clean clothes! We even used it to wash our hands after working on greasy car engines.

Johnson Future Acrylic Floor Finish: That acrylic bottled linoleum cleaner that I think has been gone from shelves since at least 1980. Or is it still around?!? Seems no one has lino floors anymore...but I used it constantly and loved the TV commercials with the camera staring up at that cool bottle on a bright white gloss linoleum floor.

Glenn,
I don't recall Sweetheart Fabric Softener, though I won't discount that they might have made something like that. From what I remember it was a fairly cheap bath soap, and all together just wonderful. I still remember the lime smell, it wasn't strong just clean smelling. My Grandmother used to buy it, I'm not even sure it was a strong seller across the nation, probably more regional. Haven't seen it in nearly 35 years.
