Drive UK detergent/Vigor Liquid floor cleaner adverts, 1977

[74simon]

I found these on an ad compedium, and have edited them out separately. With Drive, what do they mean by 'Solvent Detergent'? Was it just a standard Bio, or did it contain dodgy ingredients?

I notice it is still made for other markets, but hasn't been seen in the UK for many years.

I remember my mum using Vigor in the kitchen. Great Jingle!

Anyway, enjoy the ads!

Good Lord! I remember these adverts. I also have quite vivd memories of the smell of Drive, I know that my mum tried it in her HMDL for a while. One series of ads that I haven't seen since goodness knows when is for Flunkies. There was a Flunkie cloth for every type of cleaning job i seem to remember.
