Rosalie's No Suds Detergent

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Jon, Whenever I have read articles about low-sudsing detergents, the cost of the ingredients to make a really good cleaning low sudsing detergent has always been a very much emphasized factor, especially when talking about the non-ionic (I think) surfactants. Is this what you discovered too? Going by your statements about rinsing, your detergent must be formulated to be non-sudsing instead of relying on a foam suppressor if it does not suds in the rinse because many products like the CO-OP that John used did not suds as much in the wash as they did in the rinse when the major portion of the suds suppressors were down the drain.

Is Rosalie's detergent a "botique brand" or a "botique detergent?"
 
Tom, I think it will start out as a

boutique brand, but you are correct in the use of a non-ionic. It is formulated with the best ingredients from the 1950-60's and the latest of today's technology so its a marriage. It is a more expensive process but everyone loved how detergents worked in the 50'-60s. So a marriage of old a new tech was in order. People seem to think that it was the phosphates that made detergents great , but it was only the ability of phosphates to temper water so that the surfactants of the time could go ahead and do their work. Today's surfactants are products of those earlier times 30-40 years down the road. They are much more robust today.

Mine is the only HE detergent that will not suds up after a 20 minute washing, with most HE's on the market today the suds suppressor slowly combines with the surfactant and you have suds in the machine after 15-20 minutes, which is how long these new front loaders run these days.
And absolutely no suds at end of wash and in the FIRST rinse or any rinse after that.

Is this something that you have made? It also sounds like it would be great for spin-rinsing in a twin-tub machine, which froth detergent up pretty bad.

 

Also, off-topic but I just looked at your profile avatar and slit my Frappe all over my keyboard. I just though it was an Easy ad and then I clicked it. ROTF.

One thing I can count on with both powder TIDE he and Persil is that they do not start foaming at high temperatures like a 180F wash. Other detergents get over excited at those temperatures. The foamiest part of the whole cycle with TIDE he is the first rinse in the W1918, which imediately follows the wash and is at a high water level so it churns up some suds, but they don't last beyond the first spin. Again, I think that even though the Tide ingredients state it uses non-ionic as well as ionic (sudsing) surfactants, it must also depend on a suds suppressor to allow sudsing to form in the first rinse.
 
Does it have the same fragrance that Dash had? I still remember the fragrance of our neighbor's basement. She bought Dash by the 20 lb. box (didn't they call that the "Home Laundry Size"?)for her early 60s Laundromat and it made the basement smell good. If Rosalie's Detergent smells like Dash, I would buy it to use as an air freshener.

What did Dash smell like? I remember "Lily of the Valley" but I know that wasn't it.

Tim, Yes its my own invention and glad you like the Avatar -we can thank Fred & Robert for that one!!!KErrslapp!

Tom- Tide to my knowledge doesn't use "non-ionics" anymore as they just invented a surfactant of their own that they are currently patenting and that is their main surfactant,it's an all temperature,hardy anionic. But I find its very hard to rinse out. I'm not wild about it and if you look at the posts on that garden site the old time users of Tide are very dissappointed in it as well. Have you noticed a change in the last two years at all?

Roscoe- I am looking at production currently and will keep everyone posted as to a due date. Thank you for your interest!!

All of my Tide is OLD, like me; older than two years for sure. I bought it on sale at Target with coupons and probably have enough of the 80 load boxes (that last me for double that number at least) to keep me washing for several years and that is in addition to all of the other detergents. I have not been back to Target since the boycott was announced, but have not missed it.

If I add STPP to Rosalie's NoSuds, will i get suds or some violent reaction like light coming from inside the washer?
 
Very cool that an AW.org member is doing this!

Perhaps you can get your own TLC program?

1) The promise of a non-sudsing detergent has me cheering. I've been on a need-ending quest for the ultimate clean-rinsing detergent for loads of bath towels.

2) Why is your video categorized as "comedy" at YouTube? You aren't pulling our leg, are you Jon?

3) If this is legit, please put me at the top of your mail order list!!
 
No Joke everyone!

Gene thank you for mentioning that, I tried to change that You Tube category yesterday, I'll go back and check. I posted it from my iblab and the buttons are very small.

Yes it does work in traditional Top Loaders just fine, you just need more of it, most say like a Maytag 9 pounder take two scoops maybe 3 for extra soils.

Louis I have tried Rosalie's with the heat boost cycle on the SQ which only gets the water to 146F-63C. It works even better since the enzymes have a longer time to work. The enzymes stop working after 130F.
It didn't suds up and wow o wow did the whites come clean. I even took in 5 shirts from the dry cleaner next door to me. They had set stains in cotton 4 years old, even HE couldn't remove. Spot treated them with Rosalie's, then ran them through with more Rosalie's on the heat boost cycle--after 4 years in the shirts-- the stains were GONE!

I am using him as one of my testimonials!

Right now I am in negotiations with a contract manufacturer to produce it now that all the patents are filed. The lawyers kept me sequestered about this until it was all filed.
