I’ve noticed that we haven’t had a daily driver detergent thread in a while, so what’s your daily detergent? At the moment mine is the new Persil Small & Mighty

Same for about three years now....
Sears Ultra Plus orange box.

Sears Ultra Plus for the Really Dirty Stuff....
Since Lawrence gave it a glowing review a while back on a thread I posted, I haven't been without it. Wonderful stuff and cheap.
I use my own soap flakes for the lighter stuff and delicates. I had a surplus of oil I needed to use up before it went bad, and laundry soap is better than landfill.

Paul aka hoovermatic,
Has Persil changed the scent of its bio powder lately? Last batch I had 18 months or so ago wasnt particularly nice and left everything smelling musty.
If its changed I might be tempted to try it.

Persil scent
I don't know if the fragrance has changed from 18 months ago because it is a few years since I used it, being a dyed in the wool Ariel user. I bought a big box of it because it was reduced to £6 from £12 and am really impressed with it. I stopped using Ariel powder because the smell, in my opinion, was vile.

Purex Complete with Zout stain remover
NOT quite my daily driver but I have been trying this on select very dirty white loads for the past 3 weeks and am having success.
This is formulated for both top and FL, doesn't create a lot of foam and rinses very well. This week I used it on a load of soiled dog blankets and also my dog had a poop accident on my white bathroom rugs and the dried on stains were completely removed using Purex complete with Z.. in a warm water wash with 2 rinses. Last few weeks I have washed my white under wear and sock loads with this and the results have been very good.

Who Was It?
Jerrod, I'm going to have to try the Purex with Zout. I hope I get the same results with my whites as you did.
Now, for the Subject question. WHAT tip columnist promoted Purex and Zout at one time for doing laundry? If I remember correctly, I believe her face was on Zout labels with "Rcommended by (person)". I?m quite sure it wasn't Heloise, but I'm leaning more toward "the Queen Of Clean" (Linda Cobb). But in viewing her website she's now promoting Vaska laundry products. Also if she was the one I'm thinking of, she was quite heavy at one time, but has dropped a tremendous amount of weight, and now looks sensational on her website.
So, does anyone know who it might be if not the two I mentioned?

I am more than reasonably certain it was Linda Cobb,
"The Queen of Clean."
Heloise never, or almost never endorses products. With her column being in almost every newspaper in the United States, and what she inherited from her Mother, the original Heloise......
