H.E. concerns
Thanks for the replies and information guys,I am so looking forward to trying it out, thanks Angus for the advice about sudsing, no F.L. here it will be used in the L.G. T.L.
Laundress, that is quite a collection,I take it you enjoy surfing!then.
Funny with the discussion about H.E. when I used to be young the only low suds powder you could get was Omomatic, how times have changed.
Thanks again guys.

Laundress,
Nice stash of Surf there! Marketed as Radion in the UK, we had a different version of Surf. My favourite was Square Deal Surf.

Paul, not sure if it just for me, but your link does not work......
Anyway yes, they used even the same kind of "gags" in commercials....

Anyway, there is even an italian Surf.... it is still made by Unilever, once we had both the Bio presto and Surf, Bio Presto was more famous though, and Surf almost vanished, then in the mid 2000ish Henkel purchased the Bio presto name, infact during a period we used to have Bio Presto with both the names on it to advert people that the once Unilver Bio Presto was changing name to Surf, finally the 2 brands actually separated...
And so now you find Bio Presto made by Henkel and Surf made by Unilever, two totally different things..... looks like though Surf is now becoming a brand only for institutional use, anyway good stuff....

As we're talking about Surf with two names, can someone explain me why some boxes of american Surf use to come out with the Surf and All brand on them????
Always wondered about....

VTG Surf:
Almost tempted to purchase one of these NOS boxes.....I can't read a weight to justify that high shipping to Italy...no Surf would beat the one Launderess has though, how I want one! I keep looking for one out...
8 inch by 6 inch does not look a big box...shipping is quite high....but interesting!

Sun Products
Owns both the Surf and All brand names, as well as Sunlight,Sun and Wisk as well.
Cross branding of Surf and All probably to tout the former contains some of the benefits of the latter.

I thought something similar, but I just found it too odd to be so, but indeed it is the more likely explanation.....
What else could be? I don't think they're trying to eliminate Surf or All.
I also thought it was an attempt from Sun products to get a "revival" of the All powder that looks like is getting more famous in liquid than powders...rather than Surf that indeed is stronger in powders forms.....
Who can tell?

Not Really Odd, At Least Here
We have "Tide" with "Downy", "Tide" with "Febreeze", etc...
In this case we have "Surf" detergent with "All (detergent) Stain Lifters"
Back when Unilever had All detergent the product got (supposedly) "stain lifter" technology (unsure what chemicals Lever Brothers/Unilver used), and indeed All detergent still markets those words on containers.
Guess Surf's claim to fame for doing stinky laundry wasn't good enough alone to push sales.

That's not exactly the same thing...
Tide W/ Downy scent and W/ feebreze W/ Dawn etc...is a different thing, it's not strange this here too, we have Dixan with Ver Nel scent, We have Dash with feebreze and lenor etc.... too that's normal to have detergents with same company softeners, scents etc.... that's not about it... that's not the "odd" crossing thing I mean..
About the All stain lifter formula , well, I assumed that if it is what they wanted to do they would probably have added to the Surf box "with the All stain lifters" not just All brand under the Surf...since they're two laundry detergents...
Probably it's me seeing it odd...
So yes I keep thinking this way is odd....for some reasons...
Anyway, that is probably as you say....

LEVER'S Surf!
To me, Sun's version isn't half a patch on Lever's version. The Sun scents are, to me, ghastly!
It cleaned well, smelled good, and was less expensive than Tide....
