Interestingly, our optical brighteners fluoresce blue-white while in Europe, a yellow-white is considered cleaner and their optical brighteners fluoresce yellow-white! Cultural differences of clean!
"Surfactant documentary", you say?
Seemed very much like a commercial. I'll watch it again.
You're a hoot Shannow, keep 'em coming.
I got sucked into YouTube videos and found a "Pie Making Tutorial".

This would have the "California" cancer warning for sure.

The Twin Tub...we had one. Looks like you need to empty half a packet of Persil into the machine to get a shirt that white...could get expensive if you had too many white shirts. I don't think I've ever had a white shirt....the women in my life know how to make me look not as dirty as I really am.

THE SOAP powder that advertisers once boasted 'washes whiter' was claimed by a leading consumer group yesterday to cause 'substantial damage' to clothes.
Quote
Unilever claims that Persil Power is now made to a revised formula that uses less 'accelerator' (a manganese catalyst) and that problems have been ironed out. The CA disputed that claim, arguing that tests on the new version were still incomplete.
Quote
The flaw in Persil Power was first publicised by Procter and Gamble, Unilever's main rival in the pounds 6bn-a-year powder market. Their claim of a 'defect' sparked a soap-suds war of words. Tests and counter-tests were paraded from research laboratories.
Procter and Gamble maintains that the soap industry has traditionally shied away from using manganese - which improves powders' cleaning abilities - because experts fear potential damage.
Unilever says that British stores are selling more than 120,000 packs of reformulated Persil Power each week. They claim that there have not been significant numbers of complaints from consumers.

Yeah, I've had twin tubs before...they were really quite good at getting the job done...until one day I put a canvas duffle bag holding too much water into the spinner...it unbalanced at full revs and destroyed the machine...araldite and white paint and it survived the landlord's inspection.
