THREE PACKS of Shield Fresh Aqua Deodorising Soap 4 Pack

Product Information

Famous-Barr actually advertising drug-store stuff (they pulled this out of the stores in the early 80s I'd guess) Costco's "Clout" bargain powder, also with phosphates, which worked very well. When they pulled the phosphates out, it performed poorly. Persil Automatic - 80s/Early 90s - My Gran used to have a big box of Persil Automatic and wash the teatowels/bartowels in her Bendix/Zanussi Wisk was an oddball. More centred around coloured washes although supposedly capable of cleaning everything - debateable as to where it stood in the market but from what I remember it was between Surf and Persils price point. I cant help but think that the Victor washing machine Ad's had it aimed at DINK's who didnt really wish to spend money on an expensive product whereas Surf was more a family/economy thing. Blue" Rain Drops Water Softener (don't know who made it, but it was an "economy" version of Calgon)

I can understand why they are gone - probably something to do with the ozone layer - but they did serve a purpose. There are, however, still some available. Such as electromotive cleaner, which because it's used on electrical parts that might spark, still have chlorinated solvent that are not flammable. Of course I would NEVER use such a product on, say, brake rotors or drums. Never ever. Though Lever Bros. hadn't intended for Snuggle FS to cannibalize sales from Final Touch, in many markets that is exactly what happened.

Shield Cleansing White

I forgot about Clorox Detergent. I was working in the LA area and apparently it was past test market but not national so every time i went to California, I would stuff some boxes in my luggage. I still have one box left securely wrapped in plastic. It was a pretty good product and low sudsing to boot with a great fragrance. Persil and Daz - Family cleaning, Mum knows best, WHITENESS. Adverst centred around cleanliness and family.

Unguentine Spray (for insect bites, cuts, scrapes and sunburn. There's a mention of it on "I Love Lucy" in "The Fashion Show" episode) Companies will no longer be able to market antibacterial washes with these ingredients because manufacturers did not demonstrate that the ingredients are both safe for long-term daily use and more effective than plain soap and water in preventing illness and the spread of certain infections," the FDA said. Launched 10 years before the February 2000 announcement, Radion had struggled to capture just over 2 per cent of the UK detergent market. One of the reasons for this, as with most brand failures, is that the public's perception of the brand was far from clear.

Cinch (P&G dishwashing liquid, late '80s, with grit in it for scrubbing, test marketed in Kansas City). unusual swing spout (instead of push/pull). Later name resurrected as a window cleaner (mid 90s) Liqua4 (Dial pearly liquid soap in a bar-soap-sized/shaped plastic bottle, tested in Michigan early 80s) Frank, I SOOO remember one of the neighbors "throwing" water on the clothes, rolling them up, placing them in her refrigerator and waiting for an employment agency "domestic" to come do her ironing. Solarcaine (used mainly for sunburn, it was manufactured by Plough, who also made Coppertone products) Radion never really fitted in and from what I remmeber as its life fizzled out it ended up being downgraded with a similar cleaning performance albeit a different fragrance to Surf which then as Chris points out ended up absorbed into that brand.
