which Mexican deterget should I buy?

[spookiness]

I am going to the local latin market sometime next week. I know they have several powders in bags. What should I look for?

Timely question, I was wondering the same.

Foca and Viva are quite popular with people on here. I personally have used Foca and didn't find the scent strong enough.

"ace" is good too.

I recently ran a load of whites with Ace Limon (3.5 oz in my Calypso), boosted with STPP and oxybleach powder.  The result to my eye was as good as, or maybe slightly better than, Tide HE powder.

Roma is a very good choice as well. It does a good job with no sickening leftover frgrance.

Give Ariel a try. It has an interesting scent---always reminded me of crushed up SweetTarts.

Foca. Look for the phosphated version. Not the one they have at Walmart. I love the fragrance. It smells like detergent should smell.

Ariel that is found in grocery stores. The good stuff has no English on the bag.

Viva all the way... Foca is probably the best inexpensive one... Roma and 1-2-3 are more of all-purpose/multi-purpose detergents and are very sudsy...
