STUPID DETERGENT IDEA 2-28-16

I think the lamest idea in laundry detergent, is buying it in hoards, thinking the world is going to end, but at least you can do laundry...

 

The stuff loses it's umphh, over time.    One may physically have 6 years worth of detergent, but if it loses its strength after 6 months......

Sorry but you'd be incorrect in that train of thinking

May of us including *Moi* are and or have used detergents from the 1950's, 1960's, 1970's, and 1980's without any issues. In some cases the scent may have gone (sadly was the case with my vintage lemon scented FAB and also Gain), but that has more to do with how scent was put into detergents back then. Unlike today's stuff that reeks to high heaven and won't wash out....

Am currently working my way through a huge box of 1970's All with "Bleach, Borax and Brighteners" from the 1970's (or is it 1960's) and it cleans as well or better than many modern detergents.

OMG !

 

 

Thanks Laundress-

"Am currently working my way through a huge box of 1970s All with "Bleach, Borax and Brighteners" from the 1970's..."

 

I'm glad it still works.   I read that these have a limited shelf life.  Apparently what they are talking about is the scent.  But since you mentioned it's from the 70s, I wonder if it could be that <span style="text-decoration: underline;">todays</span> soaps are formulated differently (weaker).

 

I TOTALLY agree with you on the awful scents these days.   EEEE-GAWD !

 

Where does one get a box of detergent from the 70s, I wonder.  Not that I'm buying.

 

Remember the economy size of tide circa 1981?    The box stood like 20" tall, a foot wide, and 6" deep.  It had a handle to make it easy to carry and you pulled a tab around three sides of the top and the forth side became a hinged side.  I still remember that scent.  ..... and convincing my mother to  switch from Cheer to Tide.  lol.

 

I forget if it was considered "King size" or "Economy size".

No thank you.

I'd rather stick to my trusty Tide Heavy Duty which works in all temps. I'd rather do things the proper way. Sometimes you just can't fix stupid.
