The Attack did the job, the oily ranch stain is gone from both shirts. This stuff is great. Usually I just use about 1/2 teaspoon add a few drops of water to make a paste and rub it into the stain 30 minutes before washing. This has been the best stain remover ever, it must be loaded in enzymes. I'd imagine with the cold water washing in Japan their detergents must contain heavy doses of enzymes and concentrated surfactants. On the order of Tide coldwater, which is a more powerful detergent than regular Tide.

I've never heard of attack, but Dawn is great with oily stains, and spaghetti sauce stains too.

Recordaras nice to see you. I was thinking...last year I ordered a box of Bold pods from Japan. I ordered from Amazon, they were like 15$ and free shipping. It took over 2 months to get them but they came from a Japanese address, they enclosed a letter on beautiful paper thanking me and telling me if they can be of any farther assistance ordering detergents from Japan to please feel free to contact them, they enclosed their contact info. I kept that letter and will have to dig it out. I'm sure there's a email address along with other contact info in that letter. I'm not in a rush so ill look for the letter when I get a chance. My husband has a strange way of filing paperwork and I can never find anything, I need my custody papers for my grandson for surgery tomorrow, I couldn't find them he had them in a minute. LOL

Thank You for your suggestions and I'll let you know what happens when I contact this place.

Hope things are well with you and yours.

That's actually a great idea! If they are in Japan they have access to everything, and considering the cost of international shipping $15 is quite reasonable for a box. I'd definitely give it a try. It would be much, much easier than trying to navigate poorly translated Japanese websites, too!

I hope the surgery goes well for your grandson. I had some surgery when I was 6 or 7, and have nothing but good memories. Everyone at the hospital was incredibly friendly, and afterwards I got pampered and spoiled by my parents, which I definitely enjoyed.

We have this detergent in Australia. It's called Biozet Attack

@Em Rod, Can I ask you what you think of Dynamo Detergent? :D

Hi Laundry Mitch, I don't have any experience with Dynamo detergent. I mainly use German Persil or German Ariel. As for local detergents I use Omo.

@Em Rod.. you should really, really consider giving the Dynamo a try. If the formula hasn't been changed yet.. it's very powerful. If the bottle has a Bright "P" instead of "NP" it should clean VERY WELL.

Cold Power is also a really nice detergent there. Wish we had both in the U.S. but Colgate-Palmolive doesn't make any Laundry Detergent's here. Much to @larsi_gw, dismay.. who misses Fab 1 Shots.

Also.. I'm curious, does Coles still carry our Tide, haha? :)

No, Coles doesn't carry Tide anymore. I was only sold for a short time. Anyway Henkel has taken over from Colgate-Palmolive with the detergents.

So.. the Dynamo is gone?

Laundry Mitch is SO right!!! God how I miss Fab 1 shots! Best smelling laundry product ever!!!!!!!

@Em Rod, well.. if you do find yourself at the supermarket, and you see one of the older bottles with the "P"... I'd highly encourage you to give it a try. I think you'll be very surprised ;)
