New (at least for me) detergents

7 years ago



I picked these up at Walmart this morning. I’ve bought the ECOS before, but they’ve added an enzyme blend to it and it had a dollar coupon attached. First time seeing the All odor formula in a pod... And the Tide Delicate was a smaller bottle for just under six dollars. I dont Like most scents but this one somehow reminded me of the 70s and my grandma (in a good way). I did a small load with a cardigan and a few nightshirts to see if I can tolerate the scent, going to try the cardigan today. I’m not good at judging it out of the bottle, we’ll see if I can sleep in one of the shirts tonight It has enzymes but says it’s safe for wool and silk, I guess some kinda Tide magic? They also had the Purex pods that look like the old Persil ones.

    George, please let us know if the Studio Darks and Colors keeps black fabric black...and what the scent is like (hoping it's light and not overpowering).


    I'm getting a little let down lately with my beloved Cheer powder. I have noticed new black pants are quite faded and I've only washed them in Cheer powder with warm water. :( I have three pairs in the same shade of black since I wear black and then black. I kept one pair out of the wash and wear rotation and the difference in the washed only once pair and the washed each week pairs is noticeable. I used to have better luck with Cheer powder and dark colors...

      I saw 2 new versions of the Tide in Target but I just walked on by... I’m trying to use up what I have in my huge stash. I didn’t even smell them. Lol

      Thank you for the heads up on the all and clear odor relief. Been looking for something for sons clothes. They all look like something I'd be interested in :-)

      Cmamcon5...

      I briefly saw this post before heading to WalMart and because I saw it, I picked up a bottle of the NEW from Tide, Studio for Darks & Colors.

      I don't need anymore detergents...and I have A&H with Oxi Powder (Fresh Scent) coming from Amazon this week and I bought the A&H Liquid with Oxi Fresh Scent. I LOVE that smell.

      Sea sea.... how disappointing! I’ve been using it to since things aren’t suppose to fade ... ugg

    • 7 years ago

      Yea Mimi. I'm hoping I got an "off" box, as this is a new thing in my experience with Cheer. I've not had fading with Cheer powder before. Other black pants are fading too, but they are considerably older, so I figured you only get so many washes with black. I'm hoping MamaP sees this because I'll need to know how to do Rit dye properly so I don't look so shabby as I wear black daily.

      Sea Sea is it by any chance a new box? If so did you look at the ingredients to see if they changed anything? I hope they didn't mess with the formula

    • 7 years ago

      I decanted the powder to a plastic container upon opening a few months ago. I did not save the box so I can't look for ingredients or batch number, etc...It was a fresh purchase at the time though, which was about late January. I assume it was rather new stock at time of purchase because I've noticed Cheer powder boxes don't really age well on a store shelve due to the dark nature of the box--mine looked pristine and shiny at the time of purchase. I'm going to hope I got a bad box and all is otherwise well in Cheerland. Keep an eye on your darks though so you can discontinue use should excessive fading occur just in case they have changed something with powder Cheer. As it is now for me, I will have to Rit dye my blacks.

      My box is about as old as yours, I too hope you just got a bad batch.

      Say it isn't so.
