From how I understand it. The bubbles collapse faster to be easier to rinse away.

But as far as the name "HE TURBO" it is misleading.

Maybe it should be called HE with bubble collapse technology.

I've tried Tide "Original" HE Turbo liquid and Tide with a Touch of Downy HE Turbo liquid in my Electrolux 70 and 60 Series washer....and it made more suds and seemed just as difficult to rinse are regular Tide liquids!!

HE Turbo makes me think the detergent works fast, so use the Express Cycle. OMG...Americans using the Express Cycle with Cold water. GROSS!!

Without reading the bottle or watching commercials... The name implies that it is stronger, has more chemicals to effectively clean in shorter cycles at lower temps. I have always found Tide to be excessively frothy, even the regular HE versions. But with the Turbo versions, sudsing and rinsing is much, much better at least in my experience.

LOL...Larsi " OMG...Americans using the Express Cycle with Cold water. GROSS!!

That's what I thought...ICK, the Quick cycle WITH cold...NASTY.

The washer would be a cesspool in no time, not to mention the clothes.

Quick wash or long wash IMO consistant cold washing GROSS to the textiles and GROSS to the machine. Believe me, I know cold can remove some stains, but it won't remove body oils and I'd rather wear a shirt with a big tomato stain than lay in a bed with built up waxy body oils, because that's exactly what will happen with cold water washing..ok off the bandwagon..but you all knew what Mama would say on this..hahaha

Turbo to me implys, fast, clothes will get cleaner with a turbo detergent in much less time. My daughter plays some video game when she hits the turbo button the little man runs faster. Lol. If I didn't know better I would never think it had anything to do with suds.

Yes, to me it either implies that it cleans faster and/or better (like turbocharged).

I'm with you Wpool, faster/stronger/better. I don't understand how any of you get cold water out of turbo. You can run a short cycle and still use hot, in fact turbo would make me think hot/warm first because usually cold water fills slower than the others.(some machines) Plus makes me compare it to a turbocharged car which are hotter and faster. JMO.

I expect the detergent to clean the wash. I use a quarter cup of white vinegar in the 'softener' compartment to get the excess soap out. (Never understood why you'd add back goop to 'soften' your clean wash.)

What about Tide Simply Clean?

I read online this doesn't have enzymes and is supposed to be the low budget choice for Tide users.

I see where Tide is going with their ad campaign, but your right. Without research I wouldn't know that Turbo just mean the suds collapse faster & Simply Clean doesn't have enzymes.

Paw, I think its P&G's=== Sun, LOL

I do see a lot of people buying this though.

Mama...I don't know. P&G and Tide have a name to protect so Tide Simply Clean can't be all that bad.

I'm sure it's lacking the power of regular high priced Tide but they would be doing a disservice to their name if it was total junk.

Personally I've tried it and didn't care for it but other may like it but it's no equivalent to top tier Tide.

I probably would have tried it. But currently I'm hooked on the detergents from the Mexican grocery. The prices are more affordable per the amount I use. Plus they have many more powder detergent choices. I'm going to try them all.

Lol Paw@trying them all, hey does your Mexican store have one called Lireo(i think thats what its called) i dont know anything about it other than it has Aloe in it and is supposed to be really nice. Its a powder.

Hey Mama...look, a thread was created here but went no where.

http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/2431977/lirio-aloe-vera-powdered-detergent-anyone

Theres not a single enzyme in the jug, i remember P&G marketing it as a bargain brand, a notch above Bol detergents, i would imagine it would do fine on light soils,bed sheets, and colored bath towels, but dont put your money down on it being much on stains. JMHO

I was talking about Tide Simply clean.above

George thanks for the post on lirio detergent, i had planned to try it but last time i was at Mexican store they were out of it

Simply Tide would be great for people with enzyme sensitivity. I bought a $1 bottle of it at dollar tree Refreshing Breeze scent. The smell is a discontinued Era smell from a few years ago but I can't remember the name(when Era used it). Formula may be different but the scent is old Era. You know All Free Clear liquid doesn't have Enzymes either but it cleans well.

Mama, these are the other 3 I can choose from.

Paw...Go for the Gold..FOCA...but Paw all three of those will be as Larsi says SUDS O RAMA

Foca is sudsier then Roma, I think. Also has Enzymes, that Roma is missing.

I was very excited to find a pkg of Tide with bleach he turbo. We'll see how it performs. I was driving up to Michigan, had to stop at the only store I know that carries it, Meijer. The things we do for detergent lol.

But, wtf? When I opened it, I wasn't greeted with the scent they've used since it was introduced in the early eighties, but something akin to someone vomiting up sloe gin. Yuck!

@aamassther, congratulations... you've finally smelled the new scent me & larsi hate so much.

The best part though... is that god-awful smell, will linger on everything. They've made it much, much stronger then before.

Great. I have much to look forward to. :-/
