Powerful Stain-Removing from this "ALL SMALL & MIGHTY"! I Compared and you should SEE my White Socks!, November 3, 2005
This review is from: All Small & Mighty, Triple Concentrated Liquid Laundry Detergent, Stainlifter, 32 Loads Per Bottle (Health and Beauty)
I've been a proud TIDE user for many, many years. TIDE has been with me through high school (Yes, I even did my own laundry then), college and afterwards too. I always told friends that other detergents were just filled with useless chemicals and with my chemistry background, the only detergent that made sense to buy was Tide.
I'm not a professional reviewer, I'm just a regular consumer that believes in helping others by doing some of the leg work on research for products that I have tried and use-or don't use.
A coupon recently caught my attention and the coupon was a great incentive to try the New ALL SMALL & MIGHTY, TRIPLE CONCENTRATED Liquid Detergent. I felt that I had nothing to lose and I also thought that it would be worth a try to give ALL a real comparison using my new washer and dryer.
For the purpose of this review and for helping others, I decided to take 2 pair of soiled jeans with grass stains on the right knee and a mixture of dried mud, tomatoe sauce and Kool-Aid on the left knee. I allowed the jeans to absorb the soiled material for just over 24 hours. I tried to do everything as identical as possible for the purpose of an accurate comparison.
The jeans were washed separately and the first pair was washed with the Concentrated version of Tide and the second pair was washed with the suggested amount of ALL SMALL & MIGHTY. I placed a label on each pair as I wanted to be able to identify them in the event they looked identical.
You would not believe what happened to me! After all these years of ranting and raving about Tide, also a very good detergent, I am very humbled to say that the new ALL Small & Mighty cleaned ALL of the stains on the jeans completely and thoroughly and did not leave any signs of being washed, etc. Both detergents did a fair job and Tide faired well-so this is not to slam a detergent that I have sworn by for years. However, I am totally excited that a product that descibes itself as being "Triple Concentrated" and claims to carry a powerful punch with a mighty "Stainlifter", really does remove stains and leaves clothes smelling fresh and looking brand new again.
In my comparison, Tide did a really good job at removing most of the stains, however it didn't seem to touch the Kool-Aid stain. The ALL Small & Mighty, on the other hand, left no sign of any stain at all. It sounds almost too good to be true, but I really thought that the jeans that were washed with the NEW detergent seemed to look better than they did EVER before.
I wanted to be as fair as possible, so I did a load of whites and used the proper amount of Clorox bleach for the size of the loads. Once again, the NEW All Small & Mighty soared in comparison to the Tide (with Bleach)that I used. I noticed, clearly, that the bottom of the socks looked almost brand new and the rings around the collars were gone! Amazing! Again, Tide did a very good job at cleaning the load of whites (hot water wash and cool water double rinse cycle), as expected, however when I matched the pairs of socks it was SO EASILY EVIDENT that one sock was washed in my regular detergent and the other sock (the one with the completely white bottoms) was washed with the new Stainlifter from ALL!
I really hope that this review was helpful. I'm not a professional at doing this, however I realize how important it is to share useful and honest information with other consumers. There are plenty of specifics listed in ads and even online. I just wanted to spend a little time to compare, for myself and for you, a brand new styled detergent with a detergent I have always used. It's worth a try and I hope you have the very same luck that I had.
Happy Washing and thanks for reading my review!

We use so much less of this detergent thatn the standard liquid. It seems to work great with our front loader washing machine. I have not noticed any problems with rinsing.
