Sears Ultru Plus Powder Laundry Detergent

[washerfan]

This is my new favorite laundry detergent. I have seen this stuff get out stains that other liquid detergents wouldn't get out.

I use to use liquid detergents all the time in my front load washing machine such as Wisk 2X HE, Tide 2X HE, Era Regular, Gain 2X HE, and a few others I don't remember.

I got a big orange box of the Sears Ultra Plus HE Detergent that has 180 uses of full even scoops for $16. That should be about $.09 per load I do in detergent costs. A 40 use box of Tide HE costs about $9 so that would be about $.23 per load. That's a pretty big savings in my book.

I forgot to mention that using 1 even scoop (the one provided in the box) seems to make enough suds and it rinses clean.

Many of us have been fans of Sears Ultra Plus, both the regular and the HE versions (they appear to be very similar if not identical) for years now.

Also I think one may find that the cheapest powder detergent outperforms the highest rated liquid.

It's even

removed stains that I thought were hopelessly set...and stains that had been "set" in the dryer.

It is a great detergent. Has a nice, light scent that does not overpower or linger.

Ultra-Plus-er here as well...

...having seen the rave reviews here regarding Sears Ultra Plus powder, I thought I'd give it a try.

As usual, the experts at AW are right on the money. Easily dissolves, and just like Lawrence/Maytagbear says it removes stains you would have thought hopeless.

Here at the old plant

I use some Ecolab some Autochlor and some Ultra Plus
I really like ultra plus on the patient gowns and the surgery and E R linen as it knocks the blood out quickly also does a great job on the amublance work. I have it on automatic ship every Monday I get 10 boxes

Well, I bought my first box of this stuff last week and it worked great in the old 'Kenmo. For once, she didn't sudz-lock and the clothes (which I had trashed, working in the garden) all came nicely clean!

Next---- will be to try it out in the Bendix.

I love it too: but who can use just one scoop?

yes...excellent detergent....sometimes I use two scoops for really diry laundry....minimal suds no matter what...I also mix it in a 5 gal bucket with a small box of tide with bleach...for extra boost and that great smell....although I do have to disolve it in hot water first to use it in cold wash...and must keep in an air tight container...otherwise it clumps up.....but still great otherwise

I just bought a box today, and haven't used it yet. I do like the smell of though. I have a hunch this will be main detergent from now on from the rave reviews you guys have given it.

I want to try this version too. How many scoops do you guys use for a front loader? If I'm reading the box correctly one scoop for HE machines. This will be the first time I've used a powdered detergent in almost four years.

Manufacturer?

Any idea who actually makes this for Sears?

 

[washerfan]

I use about half a scoop for normal front load washes. I use a full scoop in hot water for bed sheets.

I am not sure if this is correct or not so don't hold me to it but I could have swore I heard it is made by P&G.
