@ Jerrod,

I have been using this new powder for all of my loads, and have been satisfied with how things turn out. It's a color safe oxygen bleach so it's safe for colors.

@ joe_in_philly,

Yes he was suprised how well they came out. I think a lot of the dirt that I got out was built up in the clothing that his laundry methods were not removing.

Nice! It sound like you could have a little side business.

I should do laundry for fame and profit...my Speed Queen gets 1 to 2 loads a week...almost criminal for a commercial machine...lol.

Well, neither Target nor the local grocery store had Tide HE with Bleach in either liquid or powder form.  I'm pissed!!!

I could not find it at my 2 local stores, or Target, or Walmart - Walmart only had 3 boxes of any type of powder the rest were liquids.

uhhh.. that Miele is one workhorse of a machine!.. and a perfect compliment to the new Tide w/ Bleach Powder. I have always wanted to use the TWB for all of my loads.. colors too.. but have been afraid to. Even though they say that it is color safe, I have still read reviews of people that complain about how it has ruined and badly faded their colored clothing. Very strange.. I don't want to be a victim, so I use it only with the whites. Oh yeah, I would definitely charge the mechanic for washing his clothes OR.. get him to do some repairs/maintenance work on YOUR car Nice pics!

I've Mentioned This Before

The activated bleaching system developed by P&G starts at lower temperatures than those of Europe, and was initially designed for the dilute water conditions of top loading washers.

While TWB may be safe for laundering the off load of colours, I'd becareful about long term use on anything besides pastels and or bright colours such as pink, yellow, or light shades of blue.

Laundress, I intend to use the TWB HE on my whites as wll as my light colored towels and sheets.  Everything else will be done using the Sears UltraPlus or Cheer.

>He typically washes his clothes in a top loader, not sure what brand or what >detergent.

Andrew, this is merely SPECULATION on my part, but if he's the average single male who comes home greasy and maybe does laundry every couple of weeks, chances are he's using a cheap detergent (Extra, Purex, Fab, etc.). I'd do my best to sell him on the benefits of Tide or another P&G brand, or even Wisk or All (and maybe even Arm and Hammer).

Does he do his laundry at home or a laundromat? Now that he's experienced what a front load machine can do, he'll start using one of those (at a laundromat) instead.

Maybe now that he's seen how much better his clothes look, he'll make the switch.

Last night we put the sheets that had been washed in Tide Fresh Scent on the bed. Fortunately the HE chemical dump smell that the sheets had when they came out of the dryer had faded away. By the time the sheets got on the bed 10 days after washing there were no odors at all.
