Cleaning Week: Spic and Span


I saved the best for last!
I got this amazing Spic and Span empty box from the Proctor and Gamble estate sale.
Behold all of it's glorious sides!




This stuff does it all!
I wish it had some product left in the box!


 I LOVE that whale!
As you can see I got a big box full of old cleaning products from the Proctor and Gamble Rep estate sale. 
 There was a bunch more there too!  My total for all?  Only 6 bucks!

Cleaning Week: Sal Soda


To finish out Cleaning Week here on MHiCTy I present these 2 boxes full of Sal Soda!
So cute!  And I may chisel out some of the product to try out one day!
Mr. Husband bought these from ebay for for me for Christmas last year.

Cleaning Week: It's O.K. Washing Powder


 Is this not hilarious!?
The soap for the sad sacks.
My washing powder....It's o.k.
I got this from the Proctor and Gamble estate sale as you can see.
It still has the powder in it but it's become a solid mass.
I'm O.K. with that... I guess.

Cleaning Week: Ivory Liquid Detergent


I got this rusty garbled can of Ivory Liquid detergent (empty) from the Proctor and Gamble estate sale.
The best part is it still has it's Free Steak Knives attached!



 "Stainless" has failed after being taped to an old rusty bottle for decades.

 The art work and layout of this box is devine!

Cleaning Week: Ivory Bar


From the Proctor and Gamble estate sale.
It's a bit bedraggled for an Evening in Paris.

Cleaning Week: Chipso Flakes


This vintage box of Chipso flakes was a gift from Mr. Husband.

It's still full of "chips"!


 

Cleaning Week: Tide


Another vintage Proctor and Gamble item with the soap still in the box.
The back is a little too 70's for me though.

Cleaning Week: Thrill Dish Soap


This week happens to the official week of Spring cleaning!   
Every housewives' super power!
Every day til Friday I will be sharing a couple of vintage cleaning products that I have come across over the past year.  Most were bought at an estate sale where the owner used to be a rep for Proctor and Gamble back in the day.

I start you off with one of my favorites~ Thrill Soap!
Now....it's not the pink version as I "loved" as a child but it's still pretty cool!


 Make yourself some Thrill Earrrings in the peach variety if you like!

Cleaning Week: Cinch Spray Cleaner


Here is another vintage product package I got from the Proctor and Gamble Rep estate sale.  
I love the color of the bottle!

Lime Ribbon Delight



For our St. Paddy's Day dessert I decided to try out this vintage 1971 Betty Crocker recipe called Lime Ribbon Delight!


The original recipe calls for little white clay pipes as the extra pizzazz but I happen to be fresh out.  So I just printed some images of vintage St. Paddy's Day die-cuts featuring a white pipe, laminated them with clear packing tape and done!

A wee bit o' decor.


I'll have to do an update on how the cake tasted but I feel lucky that it will be quite good!
Update:  The cake was very good!  I could see it being done with different flavors of jello such as strawberry and pineapple.  the interior of mine did have that nice "ribbon" of green but I didn't get a photo.
