Lucy, I've used it (a smaller amount than for a normal load--maybe a tablespoon) when I wash my delicates in cold water with Woolite and it worked fine. But if I were you, I'd just try it on one of your not-very-hardy clothes and see how it fares...just in case. I'd hate for something bad to happen and have you cursing me!

this has never seemed to work for me:

putting clothes in the freezer with gum on it. once it comes off, there is still a stain

I have a scrubbing bubbles shower thingy and I love it, too.

Boy, count me in the group that saw that advertised on TV and thought, yeah, right, that'll really work...just fling some soap around randomly, what a mess. I'm amazed!! Maybe I'll get one for my sons... I'm sure they don't scrub their tubs!

My daughter couldn't believe I bought it because I usually make fun of stuff like that, much like what you said PWS. Somebody I work with told me it was good, I was at Sam's and saw it and figured WTH, why not. I like it.

Thanks! And don't worry, I don't blame anyone else for my failure to do laundry properly.

From their FAQ.

You can also go here and sign up for a $5 off coupon. No, I don't work for SC Johnson.

Thanks for the info. I printed out the coupon and hopefully will make it to the store within the next 2 weeks to get. I just assumed like the rest of you that it was going to be a waste of money

Hmm, maybe I need to get the scrubbing bubbles thing too. I didn't think it worked but all of ya'lls testimonials has me convinced! But I also have well water so I wonder if it will do okay with my hard water stains?

Has anyone ever tired that Tide for cold water? It claims to save energy, but it's expensive compared to the Arm & Hammer detergent I already use.

RE: the scrunning bubbles - It is difficult to install? I rent so I'm not sure I can make a hole in the shower wall.

Thanks, Unkle -you've all convinced me to give it a try. I printed the coupon and will start using it after we move.
