Gifts From Venus

[DADoES]

Eugene, there's a separate formula. I've not seen it around here locally, but some people on THS have mentioned finding it.

Oh, and sheets. I like to use Ace on sheets being as they're typically a less-grungy-type load and tend to suds more during EcoActive with a full dose of detergent.

Thanks for the info, Glenn.

I've found two places online that sell Ariel, but they sell only the standard version for whites/light colorfast items. I'm hoping I can scope out the Mexican grocery in Worthington and that it will stock south-of-the-border detergents. I'm thinking Ace, Ariel and Persil will be my import trinity. And my beloved Tide CW, of course. It's weird to actually be washing in warm water again. Judging by what Launderess posted, my import detergents are meant to be used in 90-degree-and-up water temps.

I washed all my bedding (from the mattress pad on up through the comforter) in Ariel and used yellow Suavitel in the rinse. The scent actually kept me awake for awhile last night! Today it's mellowed, but definitely still there. I like it.

Trend

Venus, my mom also would use Trend for giving us a bubble bath, if we ran out of Mr. Bubble or Soakey! I didn't think anybody else did that. She would use Trend for her dishes.
