 A local chemical company, Wausau Chemical, has been in business for 55 years. Just recently, I decided to give one of their laundry detergents a try. Yesterday I had the day off, so I ordered a 40# bucket of the lemon detergent. Haven't tried it yet, but will post my impressions when I do. For now, here are some photos.

Thank you John, It's been a few years since I've been to the Mitchell Park domes but yes, very beautiful. They're especially gorgeous at Christmastime. CLICK HERE TO GO TO polkanut's LINK | ||

I finally gave this detergent a try and I must say it did a great job. I washed the bedsheets and Velux blanket from our guest bedroom this morning. The sheets were only slightly soiled, but the blanket had some blood stains on from god knows who & what. I used ½ cup detergent, one BIZ pod, and 1 cup of ammonia. No heavy perfume scent leftover when removed from the dryer.
The detergent has a butter color, a very faint lemon scent, but a definite industrial chemical smell. I feel that with already having the STPP in it makes it a good performer. I'm not sorry I went out on a limb with such a large quantity.
Sorry I forgot to snap some pics during the wash cycle. | ||
