Washing Powder name early 80s

[optima]

Can anyone remember the name of this washing powder.

It was a high foaming twin tub powder. The packaging was red very similar to Daz. The powder was a powder blue colour. It had a really different strong uplifting scent. It must have been around 1980 that i can remember it. Any ideas anyone.

Could it be...

Dreft? I know it is a twin tub detergent because it was what my gran used in her Supermatic before she passed away in 2008. It was green, but modern!

Q?

Was it Q7 like the washing up liquid. There was also a red packaged cleaning chemical and laundry detergent manufacturer that I remember 80's into the 90's of which the name also escapes me.

Rob,

Not Qmatic that was a budget Mcbride automatic powder made near here at Barrow in Furness up until a few years ago. It's so annoying because i really would like to remember the name of it.

Allbrite? but that was in a navy blue box with orange red and blue stripes on the front.

One For The US, But Earlier

Does anyone remember "Fluffy All"? It's reign was from the early to mid-60's if I remember correctly. It came in a bright red box. My mom used it on quite a few occasions.

From what I can recall, it was on the high suds level such as Tide, Cheer, Fab, etc., but supposedly, like regular low-suds All, Fluffy All's suds were safer for your automatic washing machine.

I've done a Bing and Google search along with a You Tube search for it, and came up with bupkus.

Fluffy All

one of mys isiters used it.  A big red box and you used it like you would Tide by the cups instead of the 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the regular All.  i think this was about the time that Monsato sold the brand.  My grandmother with the Westinghouse FL still used the low sudsing ALL in the big metal pail.

Westie:

I'm pretty sure it was Lever Brothers. All of the "All" products had converted over to them by then.

One thing I do remember about the back of the box was an automatic washer tub with an agitator sticking out, and the Fluffy All inside of it doing it's thing.

On another note, I wish I could find the commercial that helped in the introduction of Liquid All when it first came out in '62...it was quite interesting.
