Laundry Detergent Question
themetfairy Mar 03 2011 09:33 AM |
I just got a new energy-efficient washing machine, and I'm only supposed to use detergent with the HE logo on it. So I was bringing up my supply of All Free and Clear detergent to donate to a local day care center, when I noticed that two of my bottles have the HE logo on it. Two other bottles appear identical to the HE ones, but they don't have the logo.

No idea... but it does seem far more likely that they neglected to put the mark on an older run of packaging than it does that they changed up the formula without making a big stink.

That's what I'm thinking.

are there any kind of serial numbers on the product packaging that would indicate that the company believes the two products to be identical, but one might have newer packaging?

The bar codes are indeed the same!

I found this on the website -
I guess I'm good to go!

I actually got through to All customer service (after a morning of their phones being down). I can use the detergent that has the HE symbol or which says, on the back, "Safe for All Machines." I do have an older bottle which I probably shouldn't use for the new machine, so I'll donate that one.

So far we've just used the stuff we bought with the HE logo.

What's it to you what I decide to photograph?

I suppose it's not. I though I made an innocuous joke. I won't do it again. Sorry.

OK.

So ... what? No pictures?

I take it from all of this that I'm in [innocuous pun] hot water [/innocuous pun] with you.
