Powders on way out?

[launderess]

Persil Sensitive used to be perfume free, then some bright bulb decided sensitive detergents needed scent.

Powder

I ordered Oxydol with Bleach/Powder off the internet. I was really impressed with the scent and cleaning power. I am told Oxydol is available at Supermarkets in the Northeast- ShopRite, Pathmark,Waldbaums..etc..Would love to find some Final Touch! I just bought Suavitel, (Blue bottle)..Very nice scent and alot thicker than most fabric softeners. My only pet peeve is on the bottle, Spanish is listed first,followed by English..This is America Isn't it????

Suavitel

Is a Spanish brand, hence English second.

The version of Ariel made/sold in the United States,IIRC is the same way. P&G like many compaines is seeking to capitalise on brand reconition by customers from Latin America now living in the United States. Hence all those Spanish products/brands one sees in shops these days.

Nix on the powdered versions of Oxydol at Pathmark or ShopRite here or in Brooklyn. They do carry the liquid versions, but I've never been moved to buy them, mainly because I don't like the fragrance.

On the upside, they do carry Final Touch, in Spring Fresh and Lavender, and also Final Touch dryer sheets!

Our Stop and Shop chain carries All liquid fabric softener, as well.

I was in Shop-Rite last week and the only powders left were Arm&Hammer and Tide. What a shame that is. No real competition left.

Pathmark has only Tide, A&H, Purex Classic (which doesn't dissolve), and Pathmark Brand Low Sudsing in a bucket.

I was surprised to see there was no Gain powder...it is very popular among the Spanish.
