Clean clothes...that's all anyone wants....seeking that bottom line is a bit of a challenge for some...
sometimes no rhyme or reason to come up with issues from one, and not another....
when I worked in a laundry, we had 'chemical'....whether you dumped in 1 cup or 3, it was just a concentration of chemical, no suds about it...
growing up, we used DASH, non suds, rinses clean...
what it basically boils down to is 'controlled suds'.....our own Jon created Rosalie's detergent, suds free, and will knock down any suds from other detergents....
so if he can do it, why can't all HE detergents be deemed suds free...no matter what machine or condition you use it under...even if you over dose it...
wasn't that the point of HE detergents in the first place, to be used in these HE machines....at this point, go back to the original formula...
granted FLers were not as popular as they are now, but there have been a number of them in use, simple instructions were to use less than a TLer, usually 1/3 to 1/2 cup....wringers started out with a cup, and add 1/2 cup for every reuse of the water...
when I got my first Neptune....the only HE detergents were Tide and Wisk, at a higher price than the regular formula.....they both suds up....at that point, I went back to the regular formulas, 1/2 dose gave great results, and rinsed clear....
of course that was from the days you could buy a 200 ounce bottle of Tide for 9.99...
depending on your area, shop around for competitive pricing....BigLots and Family Dollar are inexpensive...Dollar General is about the best, their regular price is usually cheaper than most stores sale prices, plus they have sales, digital coupons, add on a manufacturers coupon, and a lot of times DG will knock off 5.00 for spending over 25.00...
Tandil at ALDI's is actually Tide....orange bottle blue cap....same color and viscosity, same scent...same clean....1/2 the price...
its great to see some of you guys experimenting....if you can find a better clean at a lower price, share your ideas and finds...
and people think life is getting simpler....its more confusing than ever
