THREE PACKS of Shield Fresh Aqua Deodorising Soap 4 Pack

Product Information

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)

Kellogg's Puffa-Puffa Rice Cereal (my brother and I ate only a half box of this crap before it was thrown out)R.M.Gow's-powerful,hardworking washing powder which gives you real value for money.-I kid you not that entire sentence was its full name. She used Dove dish detergent and Cascade dishwasher detergent, but of course Cascade is still going strong! 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) 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.

In 2013, the regulator issued a proposed rule asking manufacturers to provide it with data on the safety and effectiveness of ingredients like triclosan and triclocarban, including clinical studies showing these products were superior to non-antibacterial washes in preventing human illness or reducing infection. Wisk-I know is available in US but only lasted a short time here, funny Mum liked it had a built in deodorizer from memory. Ariel & Radion - TV adverts centred around science and men in white coats, marketed towards stains, smells, target audience DINK's - Double Income No Kids and families who were well off. Surf and Bold, marketed as cleaning well on the whole wash and costing a little less, not specifically aimed at any market group but definitely VFM.

Shield Calming Beige

And while we are on topic of cleaning products... in the automotive field, in California and probably the rest of the country, chlorinated solvents are pretty much gone from the marketplace. And yet they had many advantages over their substitutions: they were not flammable, they evaporated slowly, and they cut through grease and grime excellently. The replacements are generally highly flammable, mostly acetone or heptane, and evaporate so fast that they don't have much of a chance to dissolve stubborn deposits. Pine-Sol Cleanser (made by American Cynamide who also made Pine-Sol before it went to SC Johnson, to take on Comet and Ajax, but it was a sorry contender. It also had the most hideous odor to it)

Radion when it was first brought out in the UK circa 1989 was actually Levers TOL detergent. I hadnt realsied this until we got a copy of the Which report from when it first came out.Costco's "Clout" bargain powder, also with phosphates, which worked very well. When they pulled the phosphates out, it performed poorly. Liqua4 (Dial pearly liquid soap in a bar-soap-sized/shaped plastic bottle, tested in Michigan early 80s) Mom used Jergen's Lotion in the glass with the pump. It sat on her dresser. It smelled like cherries. I loved that fragranace. I would sneak in there and squirt it all over myself. Of course she knew what was going on. My mother was very tolerant! The only thing you couldn't touch was her sewing machine. She would have a hissy.

Tide, Gain and Cheer's original fragrances from the 60's (Cheer's fragrance didn't change until the late 80's. The real original Tide fragrance changed in the early 70's when all that phosphate unpleasantness started and Gain's changed once in the 80's, again in the 90's and many more times since) Radion's story is featured in a book I have called "brand failures - the truth about the 100 biggest branding mistakes of all time" authored by Matt Haig. In the following years, "either no additional data were submitted or the data and information that were submitted were not sufficient for the agency to find that these ingredients are Generally Recognized as Safe and Effective," according to the release. The American Cleaning Institute in a statement said, "Manufacturers are continuing their work to provide even more science and research to fill data gaps identified by FDA."
