That being the case might as well just keep on using Tide w/Bleach I get at Wal-Mart.

Agreed! I laughed out loud as well. Some people are so f%#king fragile these days.
I can remember, back in the 1950's and 1960's when it was very common to observe people in coin-laundries with their diaper pails full of soggy and stinking dirty diapers. I observed many people just dumping the diapers into a machine with the diaper-juice slopping all over and dripping down the front of the machine.
Most used the standard detergents or soaps of the day and hot water. The water was rarely really hot----tepid most of the time if the laundry was busy and you would observe angry people trying to get their soap flakes to dissolve. It was as common to see people using some good old Bo-Peep ammonia as it was powdered or liquid bleach. Although the ammonia did not likely kill too much bacteria it almost killed the people waiting for their laundry to get done.
The experience certainly left me with the impression that coin-laundries were unsanitary places to do my wash. I still believe that.
