About this deal

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 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. I can't think of the name, but she also used a liquid detergent for mopping and it had a really strong smell. It was called the white tornado in a bottle and that's all I can remember. Can anyone help me out with that one.

Many of the brand in this section have failed because they were too far away from what the consumer wanted, but sometimes products fail because they aren't different enough from other popular products. This is certainly the case of Radion washing powder. Along with Pear's soap, Radion was one of the many brands for the chop when the Anglo-Dutch conglomerate announced it would be narrowing its scope on 400 'power' brands. Unilever's final decision was to amalgamate Radion into its brand, and it continues under the banner Surf Fun Fresh.Liqua4 (Dial pearly liquid soap in a bar-soap-sized/shaped plastic bottle, tested in Michigan early 80s) 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. 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)

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. She used Dove dish detergent and Cascade dishwasher detergent, but of course Cascade is still going strong! It actually went in as a competitor to Ariel as it not only washed biologically and targeted stains but also odours. Radion had extra ingredients to Persil and was around IIRC 20p a box more expensive. It was also slightly more expensive than Ariel. Launched 10 years before the February 2000 announcement, Radion had struggled to capture just over 2 per cent of the UK detergent market. One of the reasons for this, as with most brand failures, is that the public's perception of the brand was far from clear.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! 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. Downy (P&G) was top selling premium FS on US market with Final Touch (Lever Bros.) second in sales. Balance of market was made up of lesser brands such as Lavender Sachet with Sta-Puf dead last (barely one percent market share).

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. She used Babo (sp?) and after it was no longer available around here she started using Comet, but we contined to call scouring powder Babo no matter what the brand. Funny thing is I saw Babo (liquid) in the dollar store recently. Costco's "Clout" bargain powder, also with phosphates, which worked very well. When they pulled the phosphates out, it performed poorly.

Frend prewash spray-remember the jingle?."Keep a frend near your washing machine when it comes to getting out stains." Turpentine or petrol was also used when laundering clothing as well. My old manuals give directions and amounts to be used. Basically one added either to boiling soapy water, and it was supposed to do away with all the soaking and scrubbing that went with laundry day before washing machines came along. When you think about it first naptha soaps, then modern detergents (which are made from petrol based chemicals), replaced the former. Kellogg's Puffa-Puffa Rice Cereal (my brother and I ate only a half box of this crap before it was thrown out) 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. Also forgot Purex Vano liquid starch. Also would ship home that stuff while in California or Arizona. Was much more concentrated than the Linit or StaFlo liquids available here. But once Dial acquired Purex, StaFlo was the remaining brand and Vano bit the dust.

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. Companies will no longer be able to market antibacterial washes with these ingredients because manufacturers did not demonstrate that the ingredients are both safe for long-term daily use and more effective than plain soap and water in preventing illness and the spread of certain infections," the FDA said.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. 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. Though Lever Bros. hadn't intended for Snuggle FS to cannibalize sales from Final Touch, in many markets that is exactly what happened.
