Vintage Detergent Test The towel that was washed with the new Tide Pod looked cleaner.
I think cleaning would have been much better with the vintage if package directions had been followed. 1 1/2 cups of detergent for heavy soil Hot water wash for whites. Also washer should have had at least 50% more clothing in tub for better washing friction. 3/4 cup of LCB should have been added around the last 5 minutes of wash cycle.
If these steps had been taken towel would be white again.
The good news is you got about the same poor result with the new Tide pod which is much better for the environment than the old phosphate Tide. John L.

 Eugene has stated on other ketchup-test videos that the point is not to get the towel 100% clean. The point is to have a standard washing "recipe" carried across various machines to compare the mechanics of how well a given machine can perform. In the case of old vs. new detergent comparisons using a specific machine, however, the detergent is the variable factor but the rest of the "recipe" is his standard. He does underload on the ketchup tests. | ||
