Ok, turnaround is fair play. I broke down and got me some genuine Sears Ultra Plus Detergent. Going to try a load tomorrow. I will post results here.

That's the version I have. I find it's not quite as good at removing tough stains as is powdered Tide With Bleach HE, and probably Wisk Deep Clean Original. But it rinses out really well, even in softened water. I use it for light-to-moderately soiled loads (like bath linens, which love to hang on to suds) with excellent results. And it can be used in standard or HE machines, which comes in handy now that I have one of each.
Good luck with your test load! I'm sure your SQ will do a great job. I was very happy with the results from mine, that's for sure. The Fuller 86 detergent is supposed to arrive Friday afternoon, so I'm hoping I have it to play with over the weekend. | ||

Sears Detergent
That is the same formula I use, and I love it. We do not have soft water here in Sacramento, and with a little Oxy Clean added, It gets all of our clothes clean as a whistle. Don't forget My partner and I have a 12 year old boy in the house. He definitely pushes the limits of any detergents capabilities. What I found was the perfect paring with it, is using White King water Softner and Detergent Booster. It worked flawlessly with the Sears. I still think, that Sears is one of the best out there.

Ben-- Glad you had great results using the Sears detergent. I've never read the directions, and didn't know you weren't supposed to add the detergent before starting the fill. Can't say it has ever been a problem. It had no problems dissolving in the Immersion Care or the SQ when added first, nor has it ever stained my colored dress shirts. Guess I should read directions!
Warmer Warm Water: I do the same thing to get a warmer wash with the SQ---fill about 1/3 with hot water, then switch to warm. Sometimes the 75-80 degree warm water is fine, but it's nice to have 90-100 degree water for certain loads. Consumer Reports now tests detergents in both standard 90-degree warm water as well as 75-degree water, which is what newer machines are "dumbed-down" to. Wisk Deep Clean is one of the detergents that does well in both temps, as does Tide With Bleach HE. | ||
