Well, I'm not Smith, but this is what I use to rinse out bathing suits, underwear, etc...
Please disregard the "Spanish" I brought this bag back from Mexico a few weeks ago.

I like the Breeze brands - the one in the purplish black bag is the one I generally use - seems to work...
Ariel is available here, just saw an ad in the Gleaner for it today - but I do like the Breeze label better... (grin)

I use blue soap. it's like 45j.

But, does it smell good  Reminds me of those bars of Fels Naptha that my Mother used in my youth...

yeah man, smells fine...it's illegal in nine countries. it's a potent scent. stings the nostrils, in a good way. sort of like a cross between a soiled baby's diaper and indian food. plus it says "BOMBER" on it. It's made with real bits of bomb in it, so you know it's good.

dejavue....??????...
funny you should mention my FAVORITE washing powder, for while-in-Jamaica AND here-in-foreign TOO ... funny 'cause i've got a question that's been puzzle-ing me for the past few weeks
:-)
i prefer/love BlancaNieves
...i use it here in-foreign to wash cloths AND dishes AND other stuff
....works GREAT in cold water for everyting
on-island a small bag cost 'bout 20-30 Ja per
anyhoo
a few weeks ago, i got luuukey
...(pic above) my local K-Mart had in-stock big-bags of *my* soap powder ..... US $4 per 4.4 pound bag .... i bought 3 bags... this stuff is HARD to find here in DC area ... the Ariel can be found from time to time, but folks from the island(s) and CentralAmerica et al have been brainwashed to believe that like Tide is better.
nevertheless,,, my question:::>> how much they charge-ing on-island for a 4+ pound of BlancaNieve...???...
btw~~~once upon a time, a foreign shopkeeper wanted to charge US $14 for the big bag .... he (the shopkeeper) was evil, mad and a pirate
as mentioned the blue soap is great too.
...i use it all the time --- even to bath-with .... leaves my skin squeaky clean
btw~~~ there're 2 versions of the blue bar soap .... one is dark blue and the other is lighter ... they both good..... AGAIN::>> works great in cold water
remember:::>> many many many LOTS of folks on-island don't have hot water heaters.
be happy
