Laundry Detergent made in Mexico

Axion is powdered dish detergent. Red plasic bag, lime scent? It sux for washing clothes, but I never tried it for dishes and you certainly cannot use it in the dishwasher! It was a C-P product, but is now probably Henkel, if they continued the brand.

Yes, it is in a red bag with lime scent. Thanks for the heads up.

P.S.

The bodega was fairly well stocked with all the usual Mexican detergents, including white Zote, and 2 or 3 different colors of Lirio.

Well my kitchen tablecloth had typical grease stains from salad oil on it. I usually treat the stains with Lestoil before washing with whatever US brand of detergent in hot water. Today I used Mexican Roma, 1/2 cup, hot water, gentle action (Maytag) for 6 minutes wash. Had to rinse twice, thanks to the ususal sudslock. Not a stain to be seen, and a pleasant, clean smell.

I actually LOVE my front-loader.................

Amazing how a little bit of phospahtes goes a long long way towards results.

I have a feeling as F/L-ers become more the norm here, the restrictions agianst their use will be eased.

Sarcastically-
I mean if your can't use any water, you have to add phosphates AND heat AND spin well to get the suds out.

Do try the Lirio. The scent is great. Performance, I put it on par with Viva.
