Housewives Really Must Have Loved Them Some Dash Detergent

You find all sorts of stuff often by the case load on fleaPay and at estate sales, but vintage Dash (with or without enzymes) is harder to find than a virgin at a prison rodeo.

Guess them that got and letting go. I've one box of early Dash in my stash and it probably won't be used.
 
Great commercials

LOL!

 

It is hard to find, just like vintage Tide.  The detergents that worked well are typically hard to find.  Now Cold Power...I've found lots of that!
 
Those Poor Washer Repairmen

Always being blamed by Her Indoors for poor laundry results. Insisting the washer is broken and wanting their old one back and or "rearrange the rinse" as in fix what is "wrong" with the machine.

Hey lady your a solvenly housekeeper with poor laundry habits. There is nothing wrong with your washing machine, you just need to learn how to use it properly! *LOL*

Oh and loved the "Ralph Cramden" Brooklyn/NYC accent on the repairman in the first commercial.
 
Cold Power

Yea I know! *LOL*

Have got a box in my stash as well, and it probably will be the last thing used if ever.

However IIRC you my dear Gansky1 do have a decent supply of vintage Dash hidden away down in your laundry collection. When was it you said you all were going away on holiday? *LOL* Don't worry will give instructions to my "crew" not to damage anything, just knick the Dash and go. Oh heck, might as well make a clean sweep of the place whilst there and grab the FAB as well.

Tee-Hee!
 
For Us Non Navy Persons

What if anything does "rearrange" mean in Navy slang. The woman in the advert is a navy wife and uses all sorts of military jargon so instructs the repairman to "rearrange the rinse". Could she be so dumb as to be telling the serviceman to put the rinse cycle before the wash?
 
Yes, Jon, good eye! I've found Dash before and when I opened this and started using it was shocked at the suds it made. Nothing like when I was a kids using Dash in our Filter-Flo. Suds for days with that stuff. I have found other boxes, but mostly small ones for promotional giveaways, etc. I'd love to walk into a sale and find baskets full of these like we did a few years ago.
 
My mother used Dash in a front loader when I was in grade and middle school.  Then you could use it in top or front loaders, no special He detergent needed.  I remember her saying that she liked it because it was low sudsing and cleaned well.

 

Even today my clothes suffer from body dirt ...even though I don't play golf.

 

Great vids!  Thanks for sharing!
 
The brand still exists in Europe

For marketing reasons in different countries, various P&G, Unilever and Henkel brands disappeared and reappeared over the decades.

Dash is still very much alive and well in many European countries, although the formulation is more likely to be similar to European version of Ariel or Daz than anything else.

Ariel's the main P&G brand in Europe, but Dash, Daz, Bold and even Tide still exists in some EU markets.

I think the advertising campaign may have been based around "Cleaner Close" which was a fake comedic extreme soap opera type advert campaign done for Daz in the UK
