Wanted something for using in Maytag wringer, on off trips to laundromat, and when doing tub washing. Yes, one has tons of European detergents but dosage has to be increased for use in so much water, and actual washing time is rather short so much of added benefits of say tons of enzymes are rather lost.
At risk of having one's head served on a platter here I am with a job lot of Cheer Bright Clean powdered detergent. Lacking OBAs it is good for colors and off white things like ecru linens. Seems remarkably low sudsing and rinses rather cleanly. Scent is a fresh clean one, not at all over powering. | ||

 I haven't tried the specific "Bright Clean" formula. Have been using Cheer "Stay Colorful" powder for a few years. Sudsing is very low, as you say, even using 8 tablespoons for a super-size load, and the scent is nice. Why would one's head deserve plattering for using Cheer powder?

Awesome vending/single-use boxes, Launderess. A great addition to your not-insignificant stash of laundry products.
I have a real weakness for single-use products. Used to order cases of those little glass single-serving bottles of Heinz ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise that one gets with hotel room service, as well as the little containers of butter, peanut butter and jam seen at restaurants. I generally eat cafeteria style, each food item on/in its own little plate/bowl which are all placed on a flat cafeteria tray, and love to have little single-serving accompaniments to go along with it. However, it's expensive and produces a lot of waste, so have reverted back to full-size products--which I had to keep on hand anyway for use in recipes. The Keurig's k-cups remain the only remnant of my single-use past. I still eat cafeteria-style, though. 😋 | ||

Yes, this is a P&G product, and "HE" along with "ultra".
www.houzz.com/discussions... P&G discontinued this version of Cheer sometime back, but as per can find on eBay and other places that have NOS. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-Cheer-Bright... www.cstoremaster.com/general-mer... Boxes now in my stash are "coin vend" boxes sold to laundromats and so forth to sell on to customers to do their wash. | ||

 " I quite fancy it"...I like that. Sounds very "continental" and sophisticated.

Fight For The Bright
Was the catch phrase P&G advertisers came up with for Cheer Bright Clean. Detergent was advertised to fight the "dingies" with just one wash, leaving things brighter.
Now the powder one has now in stash contains sodium percarbonate. How much one cannot say at the moment, but things certainly looked quite bright while one was ironing. This from a product that doesn't contain OBAs or bluing agents. There was also a liquid version which of course didn't contain oxygen bleach. Labeled "bleach alternative" one is going with heavy doses of OBAs were added . | ||

Cheer liquid detergent is still out there IIRC, but P&G is putting more effort into their Tide "Studio" line for darks and colors. As such Cheer in any format is becoming difficult to find in many areas.
Walmart, Target, Amazon, Home Depot and other places still have Cheer, and of course many online places do as well. Truth to tell P&G has been trying to kill off Cheer for years now. The detergent has gone through many changes over decade to fill this or that niche. Finally "colorguard" or detergent meant for colors was replaced by Tide with "colorguard" and also now the aforementioned Tide Studio line. Cheer is P&G's middle tier brand now, and Tide of course is their top shelf line. P&G will do nothing that cannibalizes Tide sales, so Cheer, Gain and whatever other laundry products P&G still has in their stable never will quite equal Tide across the board. Gain is more about scent IMHO. Cheer is mid-tier bargain brand. Dreft is for infant and children clothing. Each has so many different varieties it allows P&G to continue market dominance. | ||
