Gain Detergent.....for white trash?

[jons1077]

I want to know what detergent is the sudsiest for a top-loader. I've noticed that the typical powders and such do not suds like they used to and it's a bit disappointing. Should I do the Mexican soaps? Suggestions?

More white trash??!

I wuz gonna say that real white trash doesn't actually use laundry detergent. They do their wash in a galvanized tub with a washboard on the back porch, using scraps of hand soap.

That was until Frigilux trumped everyone with his detergent powder residue collected from all the laundromat machines in order to be able to do his load... lol...

To my mind, Gain isn't trashy, it just stanks.

PS-Back in the 60's and early 70's, using a car seat as a living room couch was considered quite cool... at least among the other young college vagabonds I cohabitated with at the time... I always thought that this decor matured and morphed into the "Hard Rock Cafe" style that became so popular.

Although I have to admit that using an unconnected heater floor register as a dust bin is ... about as trashy (literally) as one can get.

Maggie, my brother, sister-in-law and I stayed in a Comfort Inn outside Altavista, and drove thru to have dinner at the Pizza Hut. I want to go back, there are some stores on the main drag that are the old appliance dealers, and TV dealers. The appliance store has old wringer washers in the windows. I urge all Virginians to hit Altavista and Brookneal, they've got stuff hiding, I know it! I wish I had been let out of the car more, I would have gotten pictures. Our momma was from Brookneal, and we lived in Lynchburg for a year and a half before we moved to this house in Nov.'61.

GASP!

Detergent as trashy? NEVER!

My location doesn't really generate W-T to my knowledge. If anyone would care to send me a check-list as to what MAKES/DEFINES one as W-T, feel free to contact me off-site in a pvt. e-mail.

....................and pass me the Kool-Aid!

Washerboy, where in Arkansas are you?

I think every family in the south has at least one branch like what you described.

My parents bought a trailer from one of our relatives like that to help them out of bind and to fix up as a rental. It had central heat and air, but they never used it. We had taken all the floor registers out to clean them and turned the A/C on for the first time in years. So much trash flew out of the vents that we had to leave for the day and let the place clear out.

OH NO! Does this mean I can only buy Gain now? I have never seen the HE version and that old Bendix bolted down to the cement pad back of the trailer don't do well with suds. If there's too much when it winds up to spin, all the lights go out.

Toggle, when you broke a sweat in those briefs, did you smell like a swimming pool?

Alan, that is some nice house, but it probably does not have a lot of room for a washer collection.

Tom, I think it has a basement, God knows what is in there. Here's my cousin Steve's 1970 Buick GSX. Steve is from Lynchburg, VA, about 25 miles from Brookneal. He bought it in January of 1971.

Anyone seen the new Gain liquid commercial on television yet? The little old lady with the wash line strung from one building to the next, a la Brooklyn in the '60s.
