Fuller Brush HE detergent?

10 years ago

I was in TJ Maxx today and saw a jug of Fuller Brush HE detergent for sensitive skin. Was intrigued but not so much I bought it. Wasn't aware Fuller Brush was even around any longer. The door-to-door salesmen of my childhood are back! I've got my Watkins spices and flavorings, I see Electrolux on the forum (not vacuums anymore), Avon has a store front and now Fuller Brush?

Was in Target earlier in the week and they had my beloved Mrs Meyers lavender on the clearance rack - stocked up with another 68-load jug of that and the corresponding fabric softener of course. Very sorry to think my favorite 'flavor' is going away ;(.

    I bought the Mrs Myers before Queenie died..the detergent and FS in Lavender..I used it once and I hate it..which surprised me because I love some lavenders like Vaska Tabs...but the Meyers left my clothes smelling musty. Maybe I got an old batch. Its been sitting here to go back next trip to Target.

    Moroseaz, I didn't know Fuller Brush still was around.

    You don't talk much about detergents what's your second favorite?

    Mrs. Meyers makes anything and everything I wash smell musty and stale. But, I kind of hate most lavender scents...especially synthetic lavender. Bulgarian Lavender essential oil smells pretty great, very upscale day spa scent!

    Isn't Mrs Meyers and Vaska lavenders essential oils and not synthetic? Downys lavender FS...gags me more than any.

    I usually stay away from smelly detergents and heavy fragrances. I like my perfumes to have fragrance, not my clothes, but lavender is my household scent. I bought another bottle of essential oil today. I really ought to go to the lavender festival this weekend.

    Pinky, I've used so many detergents through the years and every one of them cleaned ok. Always keep Tide on hand so guess it's my second. I picked up a jug of Percil. That's a heavy fragrance so only for hot washes and gym clothes.

    At one time I used Wisk and Oxydol or Cheer. Also used a lot of Clorox 2. Then Oxy. With the FL, I don't need near the laundry arsenal anymore. I also learned to wear matching colors for my meals, lol. No spaghetti when I wear white. No tacos with pink. No powdered donuts with black.

    Never tried Fuller Brush detergent but Costco carries their vacuums online. I also saw a Fuller Brush endcap at Meijer's recently. There were all kinds of different brushes.

    Roc, I have a whole-house water softener so only a tablespoon of the Mrs Meyers. Less for small loads. Have only seen a few bubbles in the dispenser after using Percil the first time. Now I have one measuring spoon for MM and another for Percil. This WP95 has a different/better dispenser than my old WP FL. Still the small puddle of water in the FS cup but it's clear, not cloudy. I used to dilute all my FS and detergent with water before adding to the dispenser because it didn't seem to flush the cup fully and left some staining.

    I doubt that it's going away, as I think it's one of their more popular scents.

    I think it's more likely that they either have too much of it, the formula or packaging is about to change, that Target will stop carrying it, or they need more room for a new Tide product: Ultra stain release plus in Original April Mountain Linen scent

    Mama, it does use all natural fragrance. The scents that are natural fragrance are: Lavender, Rosemary, and Bluebell. All the others have some synthetic along with natural
