About this deal

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. 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.

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. 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. Snuggle was positioned as lower priced offering compared to Downy and Final Touch. Latter's claim to fame against Downy wasn't so much softening but whitening. Would like to know about any discontinued detergents, additives, stain sprays etc that you remember which are now discontinued,here is my list. It's only a short section, so I have copied out word for word (as mentioned about this is authored by Matt Haig and NOT me).

Shield Cleansing White

Nine years ago we found it at disturbing levels in San Francisco Bay,” said Ken Cook, co-founder and president of EWG, in a statement. “Worse yet, EWG studies detected the stuff in breast milk and in bodies of teenage girls.” 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. 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. The rule does not affect hand sanitizers or wipes, or products used in health care such as hospitals and nursing homes. Companies will have one year to remove these antibacterial soaps from the market or reformulate them, although many have already been phasing out the ingredients. Costco's "Clout" bargain powder, also with phosphates, which worked very well. When they pulled the phosphates out, it performed poorly.

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. Unguentine Spray (for insect bites, cuts, scrapes and sunburn. There's a mention of it on "I Love Lucy" in "The Fashion Show" episode)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.

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. Blue" Rain Drops Water Softener (don't know who made it, but it was an "economy" version of Calgon) For a real taste of home, browse our Puddings and Desserts section and get tempted by all of the delicious food that you could have delivered to your door. Remember Angel Delight? Nothing could taste more nostalgic than this lovely whipped dessert and we sell so many different flavours! Ambrosia Devon Custard is another family favourite along with Ambrosia Semolina, Ambrosia Creamed Rice, Ambrosia Rice Pudding and Ambrosia Tapioca (remember that from school lunches?!). For that special occasion you will probably do what we do in the UK and go to your higher end supermarket to get that lovely treat to make your day. We recommend the fabulous Marks and Spencer Salted Caramel Sauce to add that special something to your ice cream or their White Chocolate Fudge Sauce - a real favourite of our grandchildren! Waitrose too can offer you those sweet treats - try their Seriously Chocolatey Dipping Sauce which is simply heavenly! Surprising number of brands that were test marketed but never made it nationally. Especially since the New York Metro area is not used as a test market area so we miss a lot of products. The FDA's proposed rule came after data suggested that long-term exposure might lead to bacterial resistance or have hormonal effects. Research by the Environmental Working Group, an advocacy group, found companies using triclosan — which is also used as a pesticide — in many soaps and even in toothpaste.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.

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 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) Persil and Daz - Family cleaning, Mum knows best, WHITENESS. Adverst centred around cleanliness and family.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."
