One normally does not open anything new until completing what is already open. But let's face it; one has so many things on the "active" shelf in one's stash that day may never come! *LOL*
Thought it was about time to switch things up with the arrival of summer weather. Something lighter in scent that puts one in mind of fresh air and sunshine. What else is there but *Lemon*! Nabbed a job lot of lessive poudre Sunlight "Citron Frais" a year ago, and it went straight into stash. Ever since each time open that cupboard the stuff is haunting me, giving out a tantalizing whiff. So broke down and opened the shrink wrapped case lot. Smell in box is rather nice, will give it a go later this week in the Miele. www.thelemonone.com/fr/Le... www.amazon.ca/Sunlight-Powder-La... |

I personally don't care for lemon scented stuff, I guess I get it from my mother. I really like Island Fresh Gain, especially when used with Clorox...just smells so fresh like clothes dried outside. Recently bought a new box of Tide with Febreze Botanical Rain. It smells nice too, and the fragrance lasts. I bought a couple of boxes of Bold at BigLots and they smell nice too. I washed whites in some last week on a 190F cycle and I could smell the scent throughout the house while the Miele was washing.

I love lemon scents myself. I got some of the Canadian Sunlight at Big Lots once about 10 years ago (as I recall it was made in USA, or seemed to be) but haven’t seen it since.
I opened a box of circa 1968 Drive yesterday. It seemed to have no scent left at first, but after putting the clothes in the dryer and going outside to clean up the yard after a recent storm, I noticed a pleasant old-fashioned detergent scent lingering in the air around the dryer vent. Lever Brothers did a good job on this one. |

Currently I am using Tide plus Downy April Fresh with Downy Non-Concentrated April Fresh. After the clothes are dried it smells decent especially for towels. |

I recently bought a 40lb bucket of lemon laundry detergent from Wausau Chemical. It has 34.5% STPP by weight. Very little suds, but cleans very nicely. We're also using Sears detergent in the orange box. CLICK HERE TO GO TO polkanut's LINK |

How does the Henkel Sunlight powder compare to the likes of Henkel Persil powder/pearls? Is Sunlight a lower tier detergent? |

Thank you Launderess. That's the problem with the modern economy; the brands keep getting shifted about, from pillar to post. |

Martin, I was unaware they had come out with a new Ultra Plus. Is it something only sold in the stores? I don't find it listed among the laundry detergents on their website. |
