Warning for vintage aluminum tubs ... ALL detergent has recently changed (supposedly improved) its formulation. I'm doing laundry right now in my Maytag E2LP wringer washer, and the detergent has totally darkened the aluminum. Fortunately with a lot of elbow grease and SOS pads, I'll be able to bring it back to the lustre I like. But I WON'T be using ALL again in this machine!
As a side note - the new scent is different too. I'm disappointed - I preferred the old scent. I think I'll write them... | ||

don't know why.... they put it in All, but it is probably the same thing that is in dishwasher detergents that turns aluminum black....just my opinion, not based on any fact that I know of... | ||

Very interesting reports will investigate, my first guess on the All darkening the aluminum is that it was mis formulated with too much alkali which would react with the AL but also it will weaken the fibers of the clothing.
as for the Tide powder it maybe they are using zeolites to soften the water and they maybe forming calcium/magnesium curds on the clothes
both not good developments

I had a $1.00 coupon... and as it was already on sale, the final price was less than $2.00... referring to All Powder with Oxy-Active whatever... emptying a load of colored cottons in warm water from the Amana/SQ, I discovered Oxy-Actives everywhere... as I refuse to throw anything away, I made sure on subsequent loads the detergent was dissolved in hot water, before adding the laundry... on the other hand, the All Small & Mighty HE in the blue bottle is the favorite for the Westy...
