Trying New (to me) Product
I picked this trial sized liquid detergent up at Target a month ago. “Love Home and Planet“ lavender and argan oil scent. It’s in a 10 load trial bottle. Just trying it on my sheets now. I put 1/4 capful into prewash and this is the small suds level, ?
I have put a full cap in the main wash. I selected the dosing before I found the hidden directions under the lift flap on the back of the bottle, that calls for 1.5 capfuls on a medium load. I call my queen sheet set with 2 cases medium.
the load is going now and I will post another update when on main wash and when finished. I love the smell in the bottle.

Comments (15)I just saw this thread. For a few years, I tried making my own paste by running the tomatoes through a food mill to remove seeds and skins, then taking the resulting thick juice and putting it in plastic picnic plates, then into the food dehydrator. Its not that easy, too deep in the plates it ferments before it tries, to shallow you end up with 'tomato leather'. But with practice, it was reasonably easy to come up with a decent paste. But its a whole lotta work for not much paste. The reasons I tried was to get a better tasting result, figuring that most store-bought tomato paste comes from mechanically harvested hybrid plum tomatoes that are picked at the convenience of the factory, which is why so many of them taste like cardboard. LIke others, I've found that just buying a few cans of tomato paste and adding it as a thickener is the way to go. I usually stick with Contadina, which seems to be pretty consistent with good flavor. Far better than anything else I've tried. Each season, we can 100 or so quarts of thickened, tomato-based sauces. With that amount, I buy tomato paste in #10 cans, by the case of 6 - even with shipping, its half the cost of buying those 12 oz cans in the store. I open a can, divide it into plastic bags each holding two cups, one bag is enough for a 10 wt batch of sauce. They can easily be frozen....See Moretwo new detergents for me to try!!! excited!
Comments (5)Actually, the Actilift formula is not about actively lifting stains off the fabrics but to prevent them from attaching to the fibers in the first place. It contains an enzyme that eats off loose cotton fibres. The fibres become smooth and dirt has less surface to attach to, thus it can be washed off more easily. That's the theory. It takes four to eight washes for the detergent to fully treat the clothes. Dash is a mid-level detergent. It used to be famous because it was the only detergent available here to have a built-in fabric softener effect - Dash 2-in-1 was its name. The softener effect has been remove as the brand got revamped. Now, Dash's selling point is the strong scent it leaves on clothes - even without softener. Dash is all about fragrance. 100 - 135 ml of Persil? Did you get a Jumbo Pack? The bigger the box, unfortunately, the more fillers it contains. True for Henkel and P&G detergents in Germany. The small plastic bags of Persil contain the most concentrated versions. Alex Here is a link that might be useful: How it works...See MoreFound a new(to me) Image product at lowes today...

4 years agoSeaSea, don’t you think the 140f temp will take out body oils? I’m counting on it. The detergent does have protease, amylase, and mannanase in it.
This is the second rinse. There’ll be a 3rd rinse:
