Armour company of course got it's start in slaughtering and meat packing. They were famous for using pretty much every part of animals besides what was sold for meat consumption.
Fats from hogs, pigs and beef long was (and still is) rendered to make soap so there you are. Post WWII success of P&G's Tide detergent saw other companies that made soap products for laundry or other cleaning uses rush to catch up. In 1951 Armour Company's answer was "Armour Suds" a "heavy duty" detergent which like Tide they claimed could be used for everything from laundry to washing up of dishes to general housecleaning. Dreft was P&G's first synthetic detergent introduced. Introduced in 1933 Dreft was composed of an alkyl sulfate surfactant. P&G "borrowed" this technology from Germany's Henkel who thanks to Heinrich Bertsch had launched world's first synthetic detergent, FEWA in 1932. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_B... "FEWA, which are everywhere - FEWA washes and maintains the same, because FEWA washed neutral" "Everything washes with Johanna FEWA fine to fine, that's why every housewife for FEWA raves alone." Henkel of course then had long dominated European detergent market with their self activating soap and perborate wash powder PERSIL. However soap for wash day or cleaning does have drawbacks, especially when used in hard water so hunt for something else was on. FEWA, Dreft and similar products were all fine for light duty washing of laundry, washing up of dishes/glassware/pots and pans, general duty housework and so forth but couldn't tackle very soiled laundry. For that people still had to use soap. P&G tried and tied all through 1930's to develop a heavy duty detergent based on surfactant technology they had with Dreft, but nothing worked out. It took efforts of scientist David "Dick" Byerly, who didn't have word "quit" in him to finally reach a break through. By 1941 Mr. Byerly had cracked it and "Product X" was launched as "Tide" detergent, world hasn't been same since. *LOL*. This post was last edited 08/22/2023 at 19:15 |

In Europe and elsewhere there are still soap products meant for washing laundry in front loaders.
ACDO comes to mind. www.google.com/searchQUES... Others... www.savon-leserail.com/details-p... www.lebriochin.com/entretien-du-... www.lechat.fr/nos-produits/gamme... |
