Thanks for the link, Launderess!
Not only does it give all the relevant dates for All's development, it shows that Lever Brothers substantially improved the original formula inherited from Monsanto. (Interesting, too, that the impetus for its development came from Westinghouse, not Bendix, the other prominent maker of front loading machines.)
P&G's dominance of the detergent market in the Fifties and Sixties was impressive. Over 55%, with Lever, Colgate and minor players dividing the rest. Surf couldn't get more than 3% of the market!
The implication was that Dash was a very effective competitor for All; Ad, somewhat less so; Vim a complete flop.

One thing..
That really does make me think, that All may have had Sodium Perborate in the formula, is the fact, that I've located patents from Lever Brothers for Detergent Compositions containing them.
To be Fair, I myself don't have any of it on hand, nor, do I claim it contains it, but it wouldn't surprise me if it did.
One Has to Remember, Company's really aren't required to list everything in there products. Some just release enough information, on boxes, or list only the "harmful" ingredients on Material Safety Data Sheets.
And if I recall correctly, a segment I watched, from the 60's? 70's? said that none of the detergent manufacturers listed there actual phosphrous or phosphate content, they had to have it individually tested to figure out the contents.
The only time they'd actually have to release such information, is if a Doctor Office, or Physician contacted them.

Intense memory of when All "changed over," and how welcome it was: more fragrant, less harsh, less chemical-like and commercial--or so it seemed. Widely used in our extended family because of the preponderance of Frigidaires whose over-sudsing propensity with Tide was legendary.
Also remember Dash giving All a ride for its money. Though All may have won, once I went Dash, I never looked back, and still miss it so much.
Ah....Soaps--love 'em or disdain 'em. Thanks.

Recipe from Youtube
Please contact Bro. Ibrahim 0 988 50 45 749 for the Chemical material. (Taj Chemical, Opp: Fire Office, Hotel Dolphin Road, Visakhapatnam)
(TOTAL COST OF THESE CHEMICALS WOULD BE Rs. 260/- ONLY)
Making of 5.5 kg Detergent Powder (very equal to Surf Ariel):
(you must sift all the materials in a sieve before mixing them)
1. Take 2 1/2 kg Washing Soda.
2. Mix 1/2 kg Slurry in the Washing Soda
3. Add 200 ml SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate ) liquid to the mixture and mix it well.
Mix all these below material one by one in the above mixture
4. 1/2 kg TSP (Trisodium Phosphate)
5. 1/2 kg STPP (Sodium Tripolyphosphate)
6, 100 gr CMC (Critical micelle concentration)
7.100 gr Tinopal
8. 1 kg G-Salt
9. 50 ml Thousand Flowers Scent
10. 10 gr. Detergent granules
Congratulations ! You could produce 5.5 kg Super Detergent Powder very equal to Surf Ariel.

So the brown liquid he pours from the green bottle is slurry ?
What
would slurry be in the mix for?
would slurry be in the mix for?
Maybe the slurry is used because of its ammonia content.
If so I wonder how stable it could be in a dry powder. Ammonia evaporates, doesn`t it ?
But at least there`s a "Thousand Flower Scent" in the mix, so it must be very equal to Surf or Ariel

You are very welcome. Glad you enjoyed the read.
Once P&G *perfected* Tide by increasing it's froth making ability (it was the only way housewives would touch the stuff), it became the market leader and has remained so to this day. Tide not only displaced P&G's dominant soap for laundry day (Oxydol or Chipso, cannot remember) but it knocked everyone else off the shelf for the most part as well.
Just went and moved stuff about to take a peek at my huge box of All detergent. It clearly is marked as being made by Lever Bros (sorry for incorrect information above) and is a "Controlled Suds Detergent". You know this stuff is loaded with phosphates because like many detergents of the era it gives details if you know where to look. Directions on box state clearly that "packaged water softeners" aren't required. In hard water conditions one is directed to simply use more product. Ad copy on box also goes on about how All removes dulling grey film from washing.
Apparently P&G introduced Salvo tablets as their entry into the "low suds" detergent market. Also there were various store brands such as ShopRite that had low suds offerings as well. One wonders who made such products for them; Lever Bros?
Personally I LOVE this stuff. With a bit of *unscented* oxygen bleach/enzyme booster such as (now discontinued) Spray n Wash Pink tabs, or more recently Tide "Vivid" pods it works a treat in the Miele.

Store brand offerings
Launderess, US v. Lever Brothers at your earlier link states that Monsanto continued (as of 1963) to make low suds detergent for Climalene, Swift & Co., and Armour, so it's very possible they were making store brands, as well. That case is just a fount of information.
Yep, the "use no packaged water softener" line is a dead giveaway about phosphates!
I have some Monsanto All that I'll try to photograph tonight.

Persil Power with accelerator
And I agree with the results of The Independent's 1994 test. I got ahold of some "Omo Power" from Holland back then, and saw no evidence that it would fray or degrade anything...
