Do You Have Tired Suds?

Not me, I have "Lively Suds, how about you?

LOL, more fuel to the myth that suds have anything to do with cleaning ability. Similar ads were aired about 20 years later extolling Dawn's grease-cutting longevity. I guess sudsing can be an indicator that the detergent is still working, but in and of themselves, more suds don't mean better cleaning <br
But of course, foam is fun. Always wanted to try one of those trendy dance halls with artificial suds filling the dance floor... but I figured I was about 20 years too late and now I think they are out of fashion anyway <br

How 'bout them Norges with white agitators???????

Glad I'm not the only greasy guy around. We'll have to get Eugene to do a stained collar test. Do you have any Exact in your stash, Robert.

 

[sudsmaster]

Anyway, it's the builder that does most of the oil/grease removal in a modern detergent, not the suds. That means sodium carbonate, sodium tripolyphosphate, etc

I went to one of those foam parties a few weeks ago Rich with some friends, but the foam was wierd, dry and sticky, not soapy like I expected and require for good cleaning results . Of course I went to it at the Eagle and while I could call the Eagle alot of things, a "dance hall" it ain't. LOL <br <br

Oh you mean this White Norge Agitator Mike?????????? I love those White Norge agitators too <br <br

Hmmm,,,,

Hi Robert, I am familiar with the foam party at the Eagle, lots of suds indeed! You are correct, dance hall it aint, but they do a make shift dance floor that is enclosed with 4 temporary walls. Kind of like the booth they set up to check your clothes in. Did you get everything back after the dance?

Robert~

Back in my 20's, when I lived in South Beach, I hit the foam party circuit every weekend at Warsaw. <br
There is also an "Eagle" in Ft Lauderdale.. Coming from NY, I didn't think much could shock me, that club SHOCKED me! LOL!

 

[brettsomers]

...of course its only natural that this site would have a Foam Party thread... perhaps we can put on a disco party during the Omaha gathering (at one of the local "dance halls") and call it *Hot Suds* (a la Super Unimatic)?

 

[sudsmaster]

OK, well, I googled "eagle minneapolis" and while it's not exactly what I had pictured (I saw a non-shocking straight foam party on TV news about 10 years ago), I guess the dry suds were requisitioned in order to be "leather-friendly", lol <br
I guess I'll stick to slippin' and slidin' in my fish pond as I trim the taro <br

On the video: Wow, those are real mega tablets and she even uses two! I wonder what American megaperls look like...

<i>Did you get everything back after the dance?</i
I have nothing left to lose Don : <br
<i>I guess the dry suds were requisitioned in order to be "leather-friendly", lol. </i
I think the dry suds are more for slip and fall friendly actually. Insert an "America's Funniest Home Videos" slip whistle/symbols crash sound effect here" - Have a nice trip, see you next fall LOL. But real washday suds would have been more fun <br
<i>Wow, those are real mega tablets and she even uses two! I wonder what American megaperls look like...</i
Well of course she uses two tablets, otherwise we might have "Tired and Lazy Suds". I believe Salvo used two tablets as well, but Salvo was one of those low suds tablets.

Great commercial - love the burping suds!

I've been to a couple of the bubble parties - only got into the bubbles once. You can't breathe, everything you have on is sopping wet (these were more wet bubbles) and it's a PITA in the winter when you have to go out into the cold. The second time there was a bubble party, I wanted to wear and agitator on my head - just for fun - but it was forbidden by the guys I was going with. Some people!

 

[panthera]

there's just somethin' about

A guy in a uniform holding a great big hose, spraying...

A-hem. Before the PC crowd flip out here...what causes suds in the first place? Since they have no value in cleaning (except as indicators for enough soap?) why are we all so crazy about them.

Foam parties kinda started to die out in Munich when the straight crowd got into them, never tried one...figured they are more for guys with Robert's figure than me.

While suds won’t help to remove stains in a front loader or in a top loader, in solid tub washers a nice layer of suds help with lint and pet hair removal, especially if the suds are utilized as a filtering system.

EXACT Detergent Tablets

Thanks, Robert, for this detergent ad. Another one now in my Vintage Detergent Ads folder. So about when did this stuff come out?--Laundry Shark

As clearly illustrated by your unique see-thru Unimatic.

Hi Robert. I do not remember Exact tablets but I do remember
Vim and Salvo. Video was great. Looks like my machines if I
use too much Viva and end up with sudscake.

C-Thrunimatic...?

 

[Unimatic1140]

I've never heard of Exact tablets before this commercial actually, nor have I ever seen a box of them. Does anyone out there even remember "High Sudsing Exact"?

 

[Brent-Aucoin]

That was such a cute commercial!
I have got to get me some!
I wonder if Dollar General has some?
