Do Laundry Like a Man

Hero

Mine came from Jet yesterday, Fed EX tossed it on the porch.  The main creator of laundry is out of town this week.  I will give it a go Sunday.   Strange thing I was in Kroger, Persil was at the end of the isle, $4.99 I picked one up,  they do not seem real concerned with filling the jug up to the top about 3 inches below.  Is this some winter time thing to prevent damage?  Will try it out too.

Nothing to report here--no scent after the dryer (I didn't make it down in time to add softener to the 2d rinse). Everything seems adequately clean...until I see the enzyme cocktail I don't think I'll buy again--I haven't looked up the MSDS.

I tried out the Hero.  Whites with very hot tank temp water, Maytag LAT..  seemed to work very well for ground in dirt on the bottom of white socks.  Some trace of a grease stain on a dishtowel was not completely removed. I think it is designed as HE.   Will use it up at the coin op on  bedding.

No trace of Hero detergent at my local Target either.

 

I might check another Target later on, but i doubt it's made an appearance in these parts.

"Wall street, magnates I doubt do their own Laundry."

Some people's priorities are so disordered.

"Do Laundry Like a Man"

For me this has the following connotations:

Australian men with absolutely no clue on how one does laundry grabs their dirty work duds, underwear, socks, dishtowels, bedsheets, towels and anything else that looks "like it needs a wash" (<- this means it probably needed washing about 2 months ago for most other people and now has quite a ripe smell to it).

Aforementioned items are then stuffed into some top-loading contraption made sometime during the last quarter of a century (<- e.g. Mum's old washer, "my mate gave me this because his wife wanted a new one" etc).

A veritable quantity of a no-name detergent is then poured onto loaded items.

The user is probably aware of how to change the temperature, and quickly glances to ensure this hasn't changed from "COLD/COLD".

The user is probably not aware of how to change the cycle, and it is thus used on whatever it was set on last sometime during the last quarter of a century.

The cycle is started, clothes are "washed" and emerge some 30-50 minutes later in a state of "cleanliness."

Items are just "chucked on the line" and thats that for another week or three.

User is now happy this is taken care of, and proceeds to have a beer as a reward.

Maybe this isn't quite accurate, but its the impression one gets after hearing, "She'll be right mate" one too many times, the stories of your grandfather in the years following the passing of his wife and working in a supermarket and noticing that the cold-power liquids and powders are bought in ridiculous quantities when on sale (nearly every other week).

Our son,

piles his laundry in, sets the "hand wash cycle", and presses start.
When I check it half way through, the top of the load is still dry.
The user manual is hanging on the cabinet door next to the washer.
Live and learn, not my clothes. He buys his own now.

in arizona we re trying to ban these ..

the smell is so bad with our illegal population all smelling the air . it is out of hand. we now call the poison control and there are laws to not smell the air. you can not drive down the roads without constant smell of mexican soap ..remember guys these are toxic chemicles and are telling you to not even touch them to your skin under ocshas laws. i have not used soap in my laundry for 20 years .in arizona people were recycling water and dumping on their trees and the trees died due to the toxic waste in these laundry soaps .we now have a epidemic in arizona of all our big trees dying to just even our reg water here .the immune systems are failing…
