What washing powders from the past can you remember, especially those no longer around?

OMO remember that one? Some housewives used to put the box in the window as OMO stood for Old Man Out.

Re: Washing Powders

I can remember soap flakes but cant think of the brand name of them...I think they still do them today..they used to make handwashing really silky smooth as the water felt so soft and the smell was great too

Not sure of the brand but it had a blue bag you boiled with your whites.
