So I`ve put this cute little bottle of Tide from Dollar Tree, full to the brim (I topped it up with the rest of another bottle that I used in the US) after sitting around for almost year to an extensive test now.
I did three loads in the US, one in a HE Whirlpool Toploader with a center post and two loads in a Speed Queen.
Wasn`t too thrilled about the performance because the bottoms of socks didn`t come clean despite using more than the dosing directions called for and the water was really warm enough to the touch.
Also on the last load of this trip I followed the instructions of the Speed Queen`s lid to put in the detergent first then add clothes which I usually never do when using a top loader.
The result was what looked like bleach stains on the finished load. I thought i`ve ruined a whole washload of clothes, oh what a shock it was but apparently it was only the OBAs in the flourescent light of the guest laundry.
In daylight on dry clothes nothing strange was to see anymore. But those experiances made me reluctant to use it up at home in Germany, so it sat unused on a shelf for almost a year now.
