If I recall correctly, the name is owned by the 99 cents only chain. They use the name for a lot of random, store brands there.

They do have stores in California, I remember seeing them :-)

I remember Rinso as a child, I always think of my mom when I hear the name Rinso. Too bad the 99 Cent store doesn't hsve online sales.lol

I didnt figure it was the Rinso we knew or Rinso Blue.

Sparky I'm sure its not, for this detergent its all about the box lol.

However I think Unilever does still produce the real Rinso in another country I just can't remember which.

I have a .99 cent store down the street. I'll take a peek on Saturday.

Ye! Aaa!!!! Thank you Paw!!!

I found some today at the local 99 cent store. There were two scents, but I only got the Fresh scent because I have so much detergent already. I should have gone with the other scent because this one does not smell good at all. It kind of smells like glue to me. It comes in a small package, not a box. The powder is the consistency of flour. I am guessing the reason it does not smell good is because it does not contain any fragrance in the ingredients; it only has three ingredients.

Anyway I only bought it for nostalgia. I doubt I will purchase it again, and only plan on using it on my whites.

It says it is distributed by Rinso, USA, City of Commerce, CA and manufactured in Indonesia.

I know you said you were all about the box, so this one would be a disappointment to you. I remember Rinso as a child too, but I certainly don't remember it having the funky smell this one has.

I struck out. This was all I found.

Paw, A BIG Thank You for taking the time to look for me, its much appriciated. Ive kind of resolved myself to never finding it lol.but it was very nice of you to look for me, again Paw Thank You.

No problem. I did pick up some goodies while I was there!

I just washed a shirt that was stained with grease with the Rinso and it didn't get one grease stain out. I had to rewash it by putting some Dawn dish liquid on the stains and use my Ariel. Hopefully the stains will come out the second time. Not very impressed with the Rinso.

Jody, its probably a Bol detergent for sure..I want it for the box...did you use hot water?

No, I was washing a colored blouse, so I was using cold water, but I dissolved the detergent before putting it in the wash. Ariel got out all but one of the stains.

I haven't had success removing grease with any detergent using cold..what you can do if you feel you can't use hot water on a garment that has a grease stain is, flush the stain area only with some hot water to open the fibers, than pour a good liquid detergent with enzymes on ot, rub it in gently and let it sit over night than flush the stain with hot water again and wash. as usual. Have you had a bad experience washing in hot or very wsrm?

Thanks for the advice, I am going to try and put some Biz on the stain and let it sit overnight. I haven't had any bad experience using hot or warm, I have just got used to washing colors in cold so they won't run. It's just more of a habit I guess.

Jody the biz has oxygen Bleach in it..there's a risk it could cause fading.

Blue Dawn works wonders on Grease Stains. Just don't use too much, just enough to cover the stain, and rub the dawn into the fabric.
