I heard Consumer Reports is going to be testing these new compact formulas soon, so it'll be interesting to see the results.
Well, I"m not ready for this thread to die yet. When I was at Sams today procuring my TurboTax, I got crazy and bought a box of the new Cheer Bright Clean Fresh Scent "designed specifically for HE machines". I hadn't noticed on the box my last visit the words "with clean rinse technology". While I was there, I noticed the Gain HE was no longer there. I also noticed the price on the Tide non-HE formula cmpacted powder was 50 cents more list than the sale price target has this week for it for $18.99. That's good information for the future. Unless something major happens, I probably won't be doing any laundry for 2 more weeks. I did major laundry marathon last weekend and got everything caught up as I transition from winter to summer wear.

What I Saw On Sunday
At Walmart, Foca is now available for 3.22 a bag. And at one of the Big Lots, I saw bags of Roma. I forgot to look at the price and net ozs.
Both are non-phosphate formulas.

Tide Ultra HE Plus Bleach - Suds @ 70C (159F)
Here is the suds level for the new Tide Ultra HE Plus Bleach at 70C (159F). The dose was to line 2 of the scoop. A huge improvement vs the recent Tide HE powder.
The scent between the two are totally different, but it might just be the fact that I got the box with the Bleach in it. Will have to try the regular kind next I suppose. Overall, love the new size box, so far it washes great, good suds level, and I like the blue specs in the powder.

Tide Ultra HE Plus Bleach
I'm half way through a box of the older version HE powder it does look like P&G have put some time and effort in this newer compact version, unfortunately the only one available here in Canada so far is the new compact original.
The one with Bleach or the other one with the Downy, as shown on the Tide website, won't be supplied for a bit of time as of yet, but we are getting close to it.
Thanks for the video it is evident on P&G's improvements.

Tide lately has really stepped up the marketing for new Tide with Bleach powder.. Nice to see them doing commercials on POWDERS for a change.. They are claiming.. "White-ish to Wow". Anybody that has this new powder, is it really better than the older, non-compact formula cleaning wise? Does it get clothes whiter? Any major differences? I'm waiting to run out of the old formula and try out the compact version.

I am not surprised they are pushing the version with bleach - you get less washes per box v. the regular formula! (63 v. 80)

I want to try this new Tide He with bleach if I can find it.
Have you all tried using it on bright colors or are you just using it on white loads?

At Walmart...
The non-ultra versions of the P&G powders are in the clearance area.
On another note, I'll also have to try the "new" Tide With Bleach.

Last week I've done several loads with Tide with Bleach regular and It did not see a differnce in suds level during the wash cycle and it did not foam up during the spin cycle like the first time I've used it. So to me it is regular TWB with a HE slapped on lable.

Dirty Work Clothes Test
My friend is a mechanic and his clothes are very filthy with dirt, oil, transmission fluids, etc at the end of his day. I asked him to bring a few of his work clothes over this afternoon and I tried them out with my Tide Ultra HE Plus Bleach at 50C "Very Warm".
Here is a sample of the clothes that I washed - 3 pairs of jeans, and 4 work shirts.

Final Rinse
Taking into consideration how filthy the clothing was, and how dark even the 3rd rinse was, this final 4th rinse came out pretty well considering.
I really wanted to throw them in for another round but this load was already 2 hours, 40 minutes and he had to get going.
I am now doing a maintenance wash in my Miele, it was time to do it and I just wanted to make sure all of the grime was cleaned out.
Regarding this new Tide, I love it. It is very low sudsing considering, and rinses very clean in all of my other loads, and it has great cleaning power. I did not have a chance to photo the pants afterwards, but 1 pair looked brand new, 1 pair had all but 1 spot removed, and the last pair looked much better but were so stained that nothing could get them out.
He had 1 shirt that was "orange", and he said it looked so much more orange after I washed it.
He typically washes his clothes in a top loader, not sure what brand or what detergent. These are work clothes, but he says he has to wash them twice when he does laundry.
Maybe I can start charging him to do his work clothes! LOL

Andrew are you using this Tide on everything or are you using something else for colors and darks?

Did he seem to think that his work clothes came out cleaner than when he usually washes them?

Well I couldn't find Tide He with bleach at any store near me so I guess I will have to wait a while to try it. I did find Purex liquid with Zout made for He and regular washers so I will try that.
