Tide powder with actilift

[aamassther]

As I've just relocated to the Asheville, NC area. I've been, of course, checking out the detergent selections in our various stores. I've noticed that regular Tide powder, he and regular, are now advertising "with acti-lift". He's anyone used these yet? Any difference in performance? Suds issues?
We have super soft mountain water here 4-5 ppm. Looking at the HE version for Front load machines. I'm using Persil now but would like to use something a bit cheaper and TWB HE seems to be nla, even from Target. What's up with that?
Thanks!

Tide With Bleach

Is now Tide "Vivid" White or whatever "HE" powder.

You can still find the original TWB in some areas and of course on fleaPay, but by and large it has been phased out in favour of TVW.

Acti-Lift is some sort of polymer or chemical that supposedly lifts off dried food stains from textiles, and with repeated use builds up on fabrics to prevent future stains from setting.

Yes, that's it. I couldn't remember what it was they called it now. There doesn't seem to be in any stores around here that carry it. I was having trouble finding it when I was in Michigan too. Target seems to have d/c'd it.
