WOW.....this is great news. I tried several times to use Cheer Powder in my front loaders (Miele and Electrolux). The suds produced during the wash cycle was not too bad (but more suds than I'd like, or should be)....but OMG, the rinse cycles was suds-o-rama! Not good for my machine, and not what I want on my clothes.

I wonder if this new "he" Cheer powder is really any different? I'd love to try, as I like the soft, scent of Cheer!

May I ask where you found Cheer he powder? It is not even on the Cheer website! Thanks.

larsi.... I live in the Dallas area and I've seen it at a few places already. WalMart, Kroger and Market Street. Next time I'm in one of those stores I'll take a picture of the box and post it :)

Sorry for the delay. Haven't been to store until last night. I don't know why the photo uploaded in this position, but here it is.

I GOT IT today!! Cheer he powder! I bought it at a big name retailer, the name one must never speak!! ;) lol So happy to be able to use Cheer once again on my darks and colours. I will finish my last box of the real Original Tide he powder, and finish up my German Persil DuoCaps. It's a good day in our LaundryRoom today!!! LOL It is so sick, how detergent and laundry can make one feel so happy :-o

Yay, glad you got some Larsi. I know the feeling about the store in question as well. I despise it with a passion! Never my first choice to shop at... at all, but some stuff you can only find there, unfortunately. Let us know how you like the Cheer. I'm excited to try it too!

@ kgdallas.....WOW. I'm impressed. I just finished my first large load of colours, and this new Cheer he powder worked amazing. I used almost a full scoop (the load was very large), Warm water, 3 rinses and Max Spin. During the wash cycle there was barely even a bubble, and the 1st of 3 rinses was almost clear....and kept getting better for rinse 2 and 3. One of the best parts......The scent! I'm a hoping and a prayin' that the Tide division of P&G keeps their scented hands off Cheer! Whereas most of Tide's offerings are grossly perfumed with a sickly sweet fragrance, Cheers smells like old fashioned laundry!! It is clean, with almost an herbal-detergent scent. THANKS so much for posting about this. I have been so mad at P&G for ruining the classic Original Tide he powder, but it seems Cheer he powder will be my new go to!!

I have seen Cheer 120 load box on the Target website(Not HE yet). Might have it at a Target near you.

Wow, larsi_gw, I thought I was the only one who was in fits about P&G ruining my Tide! No more pulling fresh loads out of the dryer and getting that 'aaaaaahhhh' whiff. :(

Larsi... how was the cleaning performance? I'm excited to try it now :)

I think the cleaning performance is great, although I am using for adult clothes, with maybe only light soiling and minimal stains. I did use it yesterday on a med-large load of all workout clothes....and while it left them feeling and smelling so soft and clean, there were tons of SUDS in the wash cycle and 2/3 rinses. I'm thinking the large loads I did with mainly cotton clothes were maybe heavier and denser and did not allow as much suds to build, whereas the workout clothes were lighter and allowed more tossing and bouncing and created more suds. I will continue to use this new Cheer he powder for adult clothes, were I am more concerned with keeping darks dark and brights bright. For my towels and sheets and my son's clothes I am still using my LAST big box of Original Tide he powder!

Where is this HE Cheer powder?

I had to give up and get the liquid he.

I used it today and even had to add a little more than my normal dose because there were like no bubbles at all.

I'm pretty pleased with the results and it smelled fresh.

@georgect... I was able to pick up a good-sized 80 Load Box, for $9.99 (on sale) at Target. VERY, VERY CLEAN Scent. Wonderful. And... a little sudsy, but two tablespoons works wonders. I've got a two year supply with the 80 load box. Wonderful Stuff :)

I *do* know it can be found at Walmart, too. Check the website before you go.

And Larsi... I thought you hated those German Persil Caps. I... I liked them a little lol. :P

Btw, did you give the Cheer Powder away? This is one of the few recent P&G mixtures, I've liked :P

Edit - I'm flabbergasted, you used a Full Scoop of a P&G powder? And your Little Giant didn't float away? Crazy.

Mitch...the one in your link is for regular Cheer powder.

It's not the HE version.

@georgect, the image hasn't been updated... But if you visit the store, in the small corner will be the "HE & Regular" washers logo.

I know it's hard to believe, but... It's the right UPC.

OK Mitch, I'll take your word for it. I have been looking like crazy but haven't found the HE version and if I do it's for the crazy HUGE size (like 120 load box).

That's just too huge. As it is, this 100 oz. bottle is too big.

Whatever you do, don't order it from the website. Visit the store and make sure your not getting a older box :-)

I love Cheer. I have been using it on all of my colored loads for probably a decade now. Even before it was "HE", I rarely had sudsing issues. I find that I only need to use 2 TBS for a full load of normally soiled clothes (mechanically softened water). My Miele is 6 kg/13 pounds, and I definitely wash to capacity. You probably could get by with using less detergent, and not sacrifice results. It does not have the cleaning power of Tide, but any heavily soiled colors I just take out and wash with something more heavy duty.

I also enjoy Cheer powder.it does an acceptable job and smells great. I use it frequently. Like Joel I also use something else on heavily soiled things.. but those of you that use STPP can probable get great results on heavy soils using Cheer spiked...its probably the last of the truely old skool scents.

@ LaundryMitch.....If you look at the date of my post, April 2015....I did not yet have my Miele washer ;)

@Georgect...The liquid was not too sudsy? While I love the scent...the Cheer liquid was SUDS-o-RAMA for me!

Larsi...Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised that I had to add a little more to get the small amount of bubbles for the front loader.

I remember reading what you said about the liquid being too sudsy but I caved in and got the liquid because I simply couldn't find the powder (and I really wanted to try the powder).

I have found a consistent stock of powder at Walmarts (80 loads) and Targets (120 loads) although it's usually hidden on the bottom shelf. I ended up donating the liquid I first bought because I really wanted the powder too ;)

Mitch, your cheer box looks like it's posing for a picture next to those lovely fresh cut flowers. :)

When I first started reading this post..I was totally lost..lol..

I just realized that my Cheer box is NOT he! I have a TL but just assumed...

@Jean.. it just means, you can use even less ;)

A box of this stuff followed me home from WalMart today. LOL I really need to stop reading this forum because it is a bad influence on me. ;-) Lack of OBAs is a big plus, especially for our dark colors. Hopefully the perfumes won't make me itch. If they do, I will find a new home for it.

Cheer is an excellent detergent for colors! I have been using it for over a decade on all colored loads. HE, or not, I have nothing bad to say about it. Sure, it does not pack the punch of Tide, but who needs that on most colored washes anyway?

I also like powder Cheer. It does do a very good job and if for some reason you need to take it that extra mile, add some STPP.

Joel is right, not every load needs the big guns. .sometimes we use heavy duty detergents when just a little less will get the job done. And as an added bonus Cheer has that old fashioned clean scent... no cotton candy about Cheer.

I will say though I've had a feeling this could be one of the products P&G will cut...its been selling on the bottom shelf for a long time now and has gone thru so many changes over the years. Once upon a time Cheer was wildly popular, not so much anymore.

I'm afraid they will drop it too!! Once P&G brought out Colorguard Tide, I knew it was a full frontal assault on Cheer. I guess it is near time to stock up. If one scrambles the letters in "Proctor and Gamble", I'm pretty sure somehow they will spell out Satan in 17th century Urdu.

I think someone at P&G needs to be booted.

You want your company to have MORE shelf dominance with a variety of brands not one i.e. Tide.

I also have noticed Cheer taking a low shelf (back seat) with product shelf placement.

I fear that P&G is killing it off.

(they are going to shoot themselves in the foot)

"..its been selling on the bottom shelf for a long time now"

Yes! It was on the bottom shelf at WallyWorld! And it was the only box, the Lone Ranger.

The powder is not even on the Cheer web site. Its days must be numbered. P&G has really messed up that web site and made it near next to impossible to properly see all the Cheer detergents. What's up with the "Crafts" stuff there? Oh, never mind, it's a really pitiful web site right now that was probably designed by 10th graders. (no disrespect meant to 10th graders)

I will seriously crawl in a corner, cry, and start drooling the day I cannot find Cheer on the shelves anymore.

Joel H.....I think you better find and store a few, huge boxes of Cheer powder STAT (as I have done with my classic Original Scent Tide he powder)! If not, I say get comfortable in the fetal position Drool Boy!! ;) Lmao!!

LOL... grab a few when you can Joel...but remember this isn't official..just my gut feeling. I have enough Powder Cheer to cover you for awhile so IF it goes off the market suddenly without warning before you stock pile, I'll send you a 80 load box. But you've got to get up LMAO.

I think everyone should keep a watch for this though..if you notice it disappearing from shelves send a alert notice in here haha.

After the Holidays I'm going to send something to Linus..he's so far away in Beautiful Sweden and never gets to do this, and he is such a nice man. If your reading this Linus my friend start thinking about what kinds of US detergents you would like to try. LOL

Awwww, MamaP your heart is so big & genuine. I too will send Linus (Björn) some US ( and/or phosphated) detergents too!!! Sending a little love to Sverige!!! :)

Oh, kids. I am such a stockpiler. You should see my food pantries (I have 3). I currently have Cheer for about 3 years.... I just hate to run out of anything. LOL. Y'all are sweet to offer and help me out with the withdrawals, though!

mamapinkyo - you need to win the lottery first. Postage to Sweden for detergent will cost waaay more than the detergent itself. Ack.

mamap, since you have been so kind to spearhead a package to Bjorn, I would like to add Vietnamese Tide (liquid) and Ace powder. I will send you both as well, and I would like to send you some money for shipping. Now comes the fun part where I attempt to figure out Houzz's messaging system...

El...that's very very kind of you to do this for our wonderful and loving friend Bjorn. I am going to have to figure out shipping costs as I think it will be very expensive however I'm guessing at that, I really have no idea..if its not to expensive I can get package in mailer sooner than I'd hoped to..but it's going to be at least weeks before this happens. I was just thinking about how Bjorn is left out of all of this fun, do to him living so far away and with him not being well it can't be easy for him. And he had a heart of Gold. Apparently El, you also have a heart of Gold...which so many here do. No wonder this is such a wonderful place to spend time!!

El..I recieved your test..and sent one back

back atcha mama!

If you guys keep the weight down you can send a 1 lb parcel to Sweden for about $16. ( that was from my area anyway, may be different further away from the east coast) so maybe smaller ziplocks of powder may be the way to go.

Thank You Mami, I'm going to call my Post Office tomorrow and get all the info. I don't even know the laws in sending out of the country LOL...Only thing I know for sure is there will be no way of keeping this at a pound LMAO. And I've got to ask Bjorn what US detergents he wants to try.
