I was told that Soilex was a division of your company.. I had a question pertaining to Soilex and I was trying to find a mailing address or an E-mail address.... Thank you

Why can't I find Spic n Span powder in my grocery store?
No other cleaner works half as well and many have to be rinsed off.

I am looking all over for the product called Soilex and can't find it anywhere. Could you tell me where I can purchase it. Thank you.

I too am looking for Spic N Span powder! What happened indeed. This is a wonderful product. Does anyone have an idea about how we can get this back in the grocery store? Thanks.

I thought I was the only person in the world that can't seem to find Spic n Span. It's the best to use on wood, especially when you are about to paint and in general a great all around cleaner! Can anyone shed some light on the mystery?

Procter & Gamble sold Cinch and Spic N Span to a company named The Spic N Span Company. Their web site is www.spicnspan.com. which contains a store locator.

I too am looking for Soilex as it is the best product to clean I have very found. Somebody, please help answer this question. I'd order a case of it, if I could locate some. Thank you!

I've been told the best product for removing tarnish from silver is Soilex. Where in the world can I find it?

i was just wondering if any one else has written to you about this problem i have come across with . i have taken notice that finding the orginal spic and span is hard to find , i do cleaning for the elderly and some of them are on oxygen and have machines for breathing treatments and i have notice that they are complaining about the new smells that you have come out with and it efects their breathing . but when i used the orginal one they didn't complain about the smell. the new ones are to strong for them. could you please tell me were i cna get the orginal spic and span.or have you stop making it. i would appreciate to hear back from you .
thank you for your time

I too, am trying to locate the product cleanser known as Soilex. I've been told it is good for preparing 1980 type laminated surfaces on panel board for painting. Any help out there!

Where can I buy SpicnSpan in powder form? It eas recommended to clean the roofof my travel trailer which has a rubber roof. Thanks, RBW

Where can I by Soilex? If not at a local store, can it be purchased on-line?

Like those who posted notes above which you reprinted, I'm asking if one can still buy SpicNSpan liquid for cleaning? It's one of those great products that's been in the cabinet since I was a kid and never thought it would vanish. Why do you post all those notes asking the same question and not post the answer?

Ann, Cheryl, etc, etc, etc...

I'm just a guy with a blog. I posted a single lighthearted observation about the product. I don't really use it, though I'm sure its wonderful.

I don't answer because, frankly, I know absolutely nothing about the topic. And I'm not posting notes here, you all are. :-)

Perhaps, if one of you discovers what happened to the product you're seeking you could come back here and post the answer so that others could benefit from your experience.

Just a thought.

I used to use it years ago and it's great. The store locator at the website says the closest place to Boston where I can buy it is 82.97 miles away in Ct.!
I suppose political correctness does go a long way here in MA.

Looking for Spic n Span w/pine.
Clean for five families and they like coming home to the fresh smell.
Do you have a store in the Chicago area that sells this / or can I buy a case myself?

Where can I purchase Cinch? This product is very difficult to find.

Verrrrry interesting! I've been wondering about Spic n Span myself recently, got some floors to clean and I remember that always being what my grandma and mom used when I was growing up. I looked in Home Depot, Lowe's, WalMart, various grocery stores... NOTHING! As someone else mentioned in another posting, I never thought a product like that would disappear... sad, or maybe I'm just getting older than dirt.

For nearly ten and onehalf years I used Cinch as my cleaner for nearly everything. Now I can no longer find it. Why?

My house doesn't seem as clean and fresh smelling any more. HELP!!!! I need my Cinch!!

After months of searching for Cinch, my wife found where we can purchase it through this address, it's the product locator address for spic n span, cinch, etc. it even tells of the powder product. paste this address to your address bar and look for your product

http://productlocator.infores.com/productlocator/resources/9/KEGP/keg.pli?client=SPIC

P.S. we needed our CINCH too.

Spic'n'span is still available (though getting harder to find) -- try your local hardware store. Ask for trisodium phosphate, which is the main ingredient in spic'n'span.

http://alsnetbiz.com/homeimprovement/tsp.html

Amazing, S&S is not on local shelf! Locator found it 100 mile away.
It was also great to unstop clogged drains. Pour in a cup followed by pot of boiling water.

I too am looking for liquid Spic N Span with Pine and can't seem to find it anywhere in the Chicago west suburban area. Any suggestions? Pine-Sol is just not the same!

I am trying to locate your (the old) spic n span in a box, it was the greatest cleaner, I have tried your liquid spic n span . the latest fragrance is not appealing to me.

Try the following for information (no promises though): salesinfo@spicnspan.com

I have used spic & span for many years why can we no longer find it in the box? Where can we buy it in Indianapolis,IN. 46217

I have been looking for Cinch for months. I found it at Walmart last year and bought 2 bottles of it. Now I am out and have searched every store and can not find it. I live in Fort Wayne, IN. Does any one know where I might fine Cinch in this area?

I'm looking for the old spic n span cleaner. I'd take powder or liquid. I just don't like the new fragrance.

soilex is very hard to find...found it finally at an ace hardware..comes in a box..works great..

where can i buy SOILAX in the chicagoland area??
thanking you in advance...

karen

I am looking for the new spic n span shaker container that just came out last year or so. I bought it once and have not been able to find it since. It is not abrasive on the sinks and shower and it also has a very pleasing order.

Where can I find Spic and Span powder in the 19543 zip code area?

For all Spic and Span products, including the POWDER (which is great!) go to: spicnspan.com and click on "Where to Buy" at the bottom of the page. Then click on "Product Locator" in the blue box at the bottom. Choose the product you're looking for and enter your zip code. In Pennsylvania, Wegman's is supposed to carry it.

I am also looking for spic'n'span.I haven't found anything that is comparable.I guess I'lltry the website www.spicnspan.com .I hope that they'll be able to help me. Marie Nardi

Speaking of cleaners that can't be found today...has anyone found "Sea Mist" liquid household cleaner?

My daughter and I have been looking for Spic and Span Floor Touch up Spray cleaner. It is the best. We used to buy it at Fred Meyers in Oregon and now it is seems to have gone, where can we get this????

Hi
I am a huge lover of you spic and span pine cleaner. The OLD pine cleaner. The one with the big word pine on it and the little pine tree stands for the I in the word. Please tell me where I could fine this product. I would probably buy it out. The last time I purchased it was from a store in Louisiana. A BigLots. When will it come back there. Please, please, please help me to find this product. I am lost without it.

Spic 'n Span is gone from many states in the union because the main ingredient is TSP(Trisodium Phosphate. In the 60's and 70's there was a big environmentalist stink over the effects of phosphates in reclimation systems. As usual the tree hugging reactionaries ruined a good thing for the rest of us by getting phophates banned from many states stores. You can still get Pure TSP from most hardware stores, as it is used by painters and handymen to remove grease.

CINCH (2 IN 1)
I'VE USED CINCH FOR YEARS AND IT IS MY FAVORITE CLEANING PRODUCT. I CANNOT FIND IT ANY MORE. Can you please tell me where I can purchase it.
Please don't tell me that it has been discontinued.
I live in Toledo, Ohio - zip 43614
Thank you.

I wish that when a product works and you really like it that they would leave it alone and continue to make it. Where can I find Spic & Span?

I own and operate my own cleaning company. I've used many cleaning products trying to find those that really work. I finally found Cinch cleaner by going to the web site Spicnspan.com and found where Cinch is sold close to me. It is out there, but not always easy to find. You can even go to your local Walmart store and ask them to stock it. Surprisingly, they usually do.

I have been looking for Soilex for many years and found it in Ace hardware but now they don't carry it. Our hardware here has it but now he can't get it from their distubtor so NOW where can I FIND it? It is the best cleaner ever made for wood paneling and I have a lot of it, also for floors and ceilings because of no rinsing.

Does anyone know where you can purchase the Spic and Span powder cleanser in Ontario.

i need to know if the product spic & span will hurt my puppy? i spot clean the floor after he pees.

Help! I love the new spic n span soft powder cleasner but I am not able to find it can you please help me I live in Minnesota and my zip is 55709. Thank you Phyllis

I am an avid spic and span user - and have been disappointed by its disappearance. so - i looked it up on the internet. go to www.spicnspan.com - they have a store locator.

I'm looking to buy Cinch liquid cleaner and the store locater tells me that the closet place to buy it is 85+ miles away in Rockford IL. I find it hard to believe that I can't find anyone selling it on the web. BTW, I know that this is probably way off topic for this blog but thanks to the owner for allowing the thread! B-)

Wow Tim, all you did was ask a simple question a long time ago and it looks like you hit a cord.
To any new posters reading this, this website is not affiliated with Soilax, Spic n Span, Cinch or any other cleaning or chemical company!!! Go to the very top of this page and notice that Tim (who owns this blog) was just asking a fun question. If this website was affiliated with a cleaning company, don't you think the address would be something like spicnspan.com or soilax.com instead of http://tim.2wgroup.com/blog/archives/000042.html ????? Think before you post!!!

Heh, too true, Kenda, too true.

I have always been amazed at that: If I comment on a product, people post comments asking me why I make that product way I do, or expecting me to do something for them about that product.

I don't mind the thread here -- seems there are a small community of people trying to solve a given problem, and this gives them a place to discuss it. The internet is amazing.

As I am sure you are aware, there are lot of people on the web complaining about not being able to find TRULY original Spic 'N Span for sale anywhere, anyhow, or anytime! Having several science degrees I am full aware that the Original Spic 'N Span contained mainly trisodium phosphate (TSP) [not aryl or alkyl benzonyl sulfonates] and that's why it cleaned so well! Heck, years ago if you mixed up a strong enough solution you could strip varnish from wood floors. But, alas, the FEDS came down with more inane, and heavy-handed regulations to eliminate phosphates from waste and run-off waters because it caused the algae and aquatic flora to proliferate and increase the BOD in surface waters. So I'm just going to buy some TSP wholesale, mix it with a little Pine Sol (tm) and make it myself.

i suspect that is why p&g sold spic & span (not being able to have tsp as an ingredient). i purchased tsp from a chemical supply company. be careful not to buy so-called tsp without phosphates. according to a chemist i spoke to if it doesn't have phosphate it cannot be tsp. hopefully the new formula of spic n span works as well.

Hi, Anyone know where I can buy Spic and Span Everyday. It says "soft powder" on the container. I wonder if it is the same as the poeder in the box.

I have used Spic and Span liquid for years on my
vinyl floors. The local grocery stores no longer have it. Can anyone tell me if there may be a
hardware type store or drug store that may carry
it? I really like it and want to find it again.
Would appreciate any help out there. Rita

I too am looking for powder spic and span. Has anyone found an outlet?

Where can I purchase Spic N Span powder in or near Burlington, WI 53105.

my husband and i are looking for spic and span for floors in the rhode island are to purchae. please advice. this works great on my kitchen floor.
thank you
caroline vennell

Look here, you folks. I'm the guy at the hardware store you call and ask if and why the hell not don't I got the above said products because they work oh so well and cannot be found anywhere. They are all discontinued. The ingredients have been found by this administration to be harmful to humans through airborne chemicals that may or may not be inhaled before saturation with water. I became aware of the impending problem in late 2004 and stocked up. Alas- as demand increases... Quit calling me, write your congressman.

I have been using Spic n span/Powder for over fifty years. My Grandmam and Mother also used your product. I cannot find it anywhere, why?
Please advise as to where i can find this wonderful cleaner. Thank you E A Chiodo

Help!!

I have been looking all over for Soilax. Can you tell me where I can find it? Thanks

Gary Warchock

I'm looking to find out where I can buy Spic N Span soft powder. It works so good on our new tub. Please help. Thanks

ILOVE TO CLEAN WITH SPIC&span powder or liquid, have for over 50years.Harder to locate now. I have used Cinch as long as on the markets for cleaning glass,also counters,refrigerators,stoves,washers,dryers and other,cleans and leaves a shine without working yourself to a frazzle, Now anything that great why would they take off the market. Help!
If you look for it everything causes something or other. Tincie B. Col.ga

spic and span is actualy deadly when mixed with vinager or highly acidic things it creates a noxious gas that kills lung tissue thats why it's no longer avalable

would like to know where i can purchase Soilex.

Where can I buy Cinch????

I found Spic 'n Span at the dollar store in Puyallup, WA.
I think it works better then any other product I've tried.

Wife found Spic N Span, l lb ll oz box at Safeway grocery store in Glendale, Az. Cinch also found there too in spray bottle.

I've loved Perk No-Wax Floor cleaner for years... and when it started disappearing out of stores years ago, I bought all I could find, but now I'm almost out. This is THE BEST product I've ever found for keeping my hardwood floors looking wonderful!!! (My floors were put in in 1989 and the gentleman who installed them was out here last week and was thrilled to see how fabulous they look -- he thought we must have had them worked on over the years!)

Only problem is, do they still make Perk??? I can't find it anywhere, nor anything on it on the internet. My last bottle shows that it was by L&F Products out of Montvale, NJ.

Anyone know if this is still available anywhere???

My mom is also looking for Spic N Span in the original powder and cannot find it. Anyone know if they still make it? We are looking in the Spokane WA area.

I AM TRYING TO FIND "SPIC N SPAN" FLOOR TOUCH UP SPRAY!! I BOUGHT ONE BOTTLE AND CAN'T FIND IT AGAIN???? IT IS A NEW PRODUCT AND IS WONDERFUL! I HAVE TO FIND IT AGAIN! IT ISN'T EVEN ON THE WEBSITE???? IT IS FLOOR TOUCH UP SPRAY.

I bought Spic and Span cleaning powder today at McKnight Hardware Co., E. Bessemer Ave., Greensboro, N>C>. It is distributed by Procter & Gamble, professional line. Call them at 336-273-1943. Perhaps they would UPS you a box!

I guess that others have the same problem as I have in finding the Spic n Span products they used to clean for years and now are no longer produced. I have been looking for Comet Bathroom Cleaner. It is the best and no longer in stores. Any tips what other product to use to make our bathtub clean and SANITIZED?

u can find a store locatetor on this site http://www.spicnspan.com/where-to-buy.htm

Ilive in Eden NC. use to buy Cinchat Walmart.THEY stopped caring it. WinnDixie had it now all stores in this area are closing!!!!!! Product locatorgives me nothing within 400 miles. Please HELP me. Only have part of one bottle left!!!!
Faithful Cinch User,Barbara

I found Chinch at Alberson's grocery on the corner of State Line Ave and Arkansas bvd in Texarkana, AR. Need more.
The store locator on Spic N Span web site does not load. Looks like a 3rd party service.

For all those folks who keep asking, it looks like Safeway carries both Spic N Span and Cinch

I want to know if you can dilute spic N span and use it as a carpet shampoo in a shampoo machine

I can neither find Soilax nor Spic 'n Span in any Iowa store. Paul's in Iowa City, IA used to carry these products but no more. Clerks are to young to know what you mean when you ask where these products are.

Spic and Span was invented/started here in Saginaw Mich. I have used the powder for years and more recently I also use Cinch glass cleaner. You can't beat either of these products. I wash my travel trailer every spring with Spic and Span and it is great !! Now I can't find either one in this area. If this product is so great why isn't it available ?

Soilax----- Has been discontinued from the manufactures. No more is stock anywhere.If somebody find some maybe you would e-mail me so i might be able to get a box or two. It has been gone for about a year they say. Regards Bob

My Cinch supplier (Winn-Dixie) just closed here and now I am without!! The only national grocery chain here is Kroger, so I contacted Kroger corporate by email and two days later the manager of the local store called me and said that he had a few requests for Cinch but at this time it was "unavailable" but if more folks asked for it it would help. Everyone should call or email Kroger and let them know you want Cinch to be stocked by them. Can't hurt.

I too love Cinch Cleaner. My windows won't get clean without it! I found Cinch today at the Jewel Osco store in DeKalb, IL. (the closest to me and 2 hours away!)
You can contact the company that makes it via their website: www.prestigebrands.com
Maybe they can sell it directly to the end user.
Good luck all.

You can find soilax at the 5 and 10 web site

Good news! A couple of days ago I called Prestige Brands (makers of Cinch & Spic n Span) and they called me back! You can buy directly from them in quantities of 3 or 4 or even cases. They have Cinch and several varieties of Spic N Span products including the original formula. For example: can get (6) 64 oz. refill bottles of Cinch for $36.44 which INCLUDES shipping & handling. Call them at 800-771-7749.
Hope this helps everybody looking for these products.

Wal-mart in Brandon Fl. had big supply of spic n span liquid on 9-23-05 good luck,Gabe

I FOUND THE WEB SITE http://www.spicnspan.com/

YOU CAN ORDER IT THERE FOR $$$$$

THEY WANT 5.99 A BOX FOR IT & WILL SEND YOU A MINIMUN OF 3 BOXES FOR $24.94...THATS INCLUDING SHIPPING & HANDLING

I CALLED VONS IN MY AREA & THEY ARE GOING TO TRY AND ORDER IT....THEY WILL LET ME KNOW IF THEY CAN GET IT IN....THEY WILL STOCK IT ON THEIR SHELVES IF SO....THEN I WON'T HAVE TO PAY SHIPPING & HANDLING OR $5.99 A BOX!

MAYBE THE GROCERY STORE IN YOUR AREA WILL DO THE SAME

I WONT BE ORDERING DIRECTLY FROM THE COMPANY IF I CAN HELP IT......THAT IS TOO MUCH PER BOX FOR ME.....BUT I HAVE NOT FOUND ANY CLEANER LIKE SPIC N SPAN......T.S.P. IS A PRODUCT SIMILAR BUT DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY IT DOESN'T CLEAN LIKE SPIC N SPAN

HOPE THAT HAS HELPED YOU

I too, have been looking for the original boxed Spic and Span. Thanx to all your comments I know why I can't get it now. I bought a large container of the liquid Spic and Span and it is no better than all the other cleaners on the market.

I Am looking for Spic and Span Soft powder cleanser in the Chicopee, Mass. area. None of the supermarkets carry this product. We have a marble shower and this product is great for cleaning the shower. Look forward to your reply.

Where oh where did Spicnspan with pine go? Can no longer find it anywhere in Michigan.

Buy Spic and Span at Shop-Rite and Shaws

Why is it we can no longer find "Spic and Span Everyday" Soft powder cleanser. It is superior to any product I have used before. Now, no one carries it. Can I buy it thru you? If so, how much must I buy and for how much?
Thank you, R. Mead

I've been all over looking for SnS and just fount it at ACE hardware. A 27 oz box was $8.75 and the powder has a blue color not the old white I remember, I think the formular has changed, for me it did not work as well as the older SnS.

I bought a can of Spic and Span Powder Cleanser about two years ago at a Smart & Final store. I could'nt find any at a regular supermarket. It really is a good product.

Cinch outclasses Windex for window cleaning.
I too have no longer been able to find it.
But after reading all the comments on this site
I think I may have better luck. Thanks for
creating it. Ron

I live in Ashland Ohio. Do you have a store in an area of 100 miles of me?

Thanks
Roger

Roger: "We" don't have any stores -- neither near you nor far away. This is a blog.

I agree! It is getting harder and harder to find "Cinch" in the stores. Why is it getting so hard to find?

It works best for me on windows.

wanted: please give us back our spick and span cleanser. I am 70 years old , and i used the product all my life. it always did the job cleanly and easily. my mom and grandma said the same thing. I think mabey that big business did spick and span in because of it's superior performance.
angry ole dave

I cant find spick and span clener no where can you help me looked every where. I must have bought the last one in the store. I love the way it cleans thing.

I found Cinch at our local Hy Vee store.
Wal Mart here doesn't have it. It is the best thing I've found for glass.

sometimes, soilax can be seen on ebay.

I am hunting for a locator page for Cinch and/or Spicnspan. All I have been able to find is hundreds of comments about Spicnspan and Soilex.
I hope someone out there will tell me the e-mail address for the Cinch website with a locator page.
Thanks for any help you can give me. Jo in Columbus Ohio.

Please let me know where i can get Cinch in Minnesota.I live in Brainerd.I love cinch but can't find it.

You've got to be kidding me! I was looking online for Spic & Span info and stumbled across this blog. For nearly 3 entire years...this has gone on and on with the same question being asked and the same answers being given! The old formula Spic & Span is GONE...can't get it! There is new formula products including the original Cinch products. Instead of just continuing to post these same questions (clearly without reading the blog at ALL!), just go to the following site and order the stuff online!!! It's NOT that hard!

http://www.teebop.com/cgi-bin/category/SPICANDSPAN&source=SNSWeb&kw=SNS

I'm just amazed at how this has kept going when the answer was given in the 6th posting well over 2 years ago and it is the best and really only way to get information on the product!

WOW!

It is funny, isn't it? What's really funny are the ones who write to me as though I owned the product line myself:

Do you have a store in the Chicago area that sells this / or can I buy a case myself?

It is so nice to find that I am not the only person out there that cannot understand why Cinch is so very hard to locate. I used it for so long and cannot find anything equal to replace it. I miss that wonderful clean scent and the overall quality of the product. Since most of us now know that it can be purchased on line at:

http://www.spicnspan.com/where-to-buy.htm

I think that we should all bombard spicnspan's website with our emails to let them know how we all want this product and maybe they will try harder to get it distributed again in more areas. May not work ... but can hurt to try.

Luck to all and Happy Cinching !!
Linda

We are trying to find Streak Free Cinch on the store counters in our area in Redlands, Ca. We cannot find it in any the stores including Wal Mart in our area. Wondering what has happened to it.

Posted by Ed Alen August 28, 2006

Dollar General stores sell this Spic n Span that you are looking for.

Spic and Span was bought out by another company and now makes the powered soap under the name I beleive is called "Dirtex"

Found Spic & Span powder at Woodman's Market in the Chicago area. I too was looking for Soilax, and found that Trisodium Phosphate (available at most paint and hardware stores) was it's main ingredient. Used TSP with Oxygen Bleach (Oxyclean) and it worked great for soap scum, patio furniture, garage floors, etc. Should box my formula and now sell it...lol.

I;ve been trying to locate a store that sales a favorite product of mine but haven;t been able to find can you please? help me find this product spicnspan everyday floor touch up spray cleaner

Where can I buy SpicnSpan in powder form? It eas recommended to clean the roofof my travel trailer which has a rubber roof.
Keep up the good work. Greetings

The first to reply to your question has given you the right answer about the origin of the expression. I don't know what happened to the cleaner though. I haven't even seen such.

I LOVE SPIC AND SPAN CINCH. I FOUND IT AT OSCO JEWEL IN GURNEE, IL AFTER LOOKING FOR FOUR YEARS. I LIVE IN WISCONSIN. NOW, THE PERSON AT THE OSCO JEWEL IS GOING TO BUY CINCH. I CAN NOW THROW OUT ALL MY WINDEX!!

Soilax has been discontinued, it has been replaced by Soilmax (I think that is how it is spelled) I was told by the paint store where I used to by Soilax that it contained a harmful chemical and had to be taken off the market....

I think these blog is really useful for new comers and Excellent resource list. It?s a very interesting Blog and simple answer of many questions. Keep up the good work! Thanks it helps me a lot…

i also don't know what happend...

Whatever happened to Spin and Span bathroom cleaner?
Thank you...

My husband is going nuts trying to find Cinch.He has looked from Texas,Okla.,Mo.,Iowa. Please help us. We travel and would love to hear some towns where it can be found. Jan

If you go to Amazon and do a search, many products come up from many different sellers. I just ordered some spicnspan from one of them, and I also looked at that tecprod.com website, you can buy it there by the case. That's too many boxes for me!

I am looking for a place to buy Soilax clenainf product in the Chicago area. My husband is driving me crazy looking for it; please HELP!

I read many email's asking about Spic and Span but no answers to the many questions. Is anybody reading and capable of giving a response?

Ed: Please try reading the comments above. I know you can do it if you really work at it.

And a big part of the problem is the signal to noise ratio: people post "where is it?" without bothering to read through the comments and notice that an answer has already been provided.

YOU CAN BUT SPIC AND SPAN PRODUCTS AT YOUR LOCAL ACE HARDWARE. ASK FOR SKU #1010651.

SOILAX WAS DISCONTNUED BY THE MANUFACTURER. A GREAT SUBSTITUTE IS RED DEVIL TSP 90. IT IS AVAILABLE AT YOUR LOCAL ACE HARDWARE. IT IS PHOSPHATE FREE AND HAS SIMILAR CLEANING CHARACTERISTICS TO SOILAX. RECKITT AND BENCKISER PROBABLY DISCONTINUED SOILAX BECAUSE OF THE LEVEL OF PHOSPHATE IN ITS INGREDIENTS.

Procter & Gamble still makes Spic and Span (powdered green) in their Professional Line. It is called an institutional all-purpose cleaner and comes in a 27 oz box. It is available on-line through Amazon. I found it locally at Gordon Food Service (a Michigan restaurant supply store) Your local restaurant supply store may have it too.

Orchard Supply Hardware has Spic and Span, it is by far (IMHO) the best general purpose cleaner.

Try Citrus degreaser (also at Orchard, various names) for super tough removal (use at your own risk).

I found Spic and Span extra strength powder at a local hardware store called "Lumbermen's" in Santa Cruz, CA in September, 2007. It was about $7 or $8. The product website is a joke, what a shame in this day and age when it is so EASY to have a useful website that lets people know where your product can be bought. I truly doubt this is a Proctor and Gamble item - if so, they are woefully behind in their tech skills! Today I'll call my local Ace Hardware and Home Depot and see if I can find the Spic and Span liquid, too.

I need to buy the 64 oz refill bottle of Cinch. Can you tell me what stores in Holyoke MA stock this item? I purchased a case (6 bottles)stock several years ago when I lived in Ohio. Can I still purchase a case at your 800 telephone number? And I need that phone number.

Thanks,

Donna Gorham

You can get Soilax at the tecprod.com website.

Spic-N-Span was the best cleaner I have ever used to clean my floors, I have been looking for it for the last 2 years and can't find it. Nothing else cleans my floors as well or with less effort then Spic-N-Span, these webs are probably real good but we are on a fixed income and can't afford the prices.

Spic N Span can still be found. the one I am looking for is not available anymore. Now they have the Sun Fresh and Pine scent. It's not the "original" scent that it used to be and nothing can beat that!!!

PLEASE REPLY ...WHEN MAY I FIND CINCH AGAIN?

JUST CAN'T DO WITHOUT IT...

THANK YOU.....F. MANNING

How 'bout you try reading the existing comments for a hint?

I recently found a box of Spic and Span at the local mom and pop hardware store; it seems to me to have the same fragrance it always had. The product code is/was 37000-31974, and it is/was distributed by Proctor & Gamble, Cincinnati, OH 45202. There is a phone number on the box for the label and MSDS sheet (for a list of the ingredients): 1-800-332-7787.

See where to get the new-scented versions at:

P.S. the ingredients listed on my box are: sodium carbonate; sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate; sodium sulfate; sodium silicate; water ; colorants; fragrance.
I had been using washing soda as a substitute.

I've been wondering about Spic n Span myself recently, got some floors to clean and I remember that always being what my grandma and mom used when I was growing up. I looked in Home Depot, Lowe's, WalMart, various grocery stores... NOTHING! As someone else mentioned in another posting, I never thought a product like that would disappear... sad, or maybe I'm just getting older than dirt.

the synonym spic n span meaning clean to you only meant that because Spic N Span (as i'm sure you know by now) was a well known household cleaner's name. why does everyone have to be so offended and think everything is a racial slur. get over yourself. do a little checking before you get all angry over stupid little stuff.

What happen to Spic N Span powder cleaning products that I used to clean for years.
I lived in Washington State and where can I buy this products not from the mail order(amazon.com/ teebop.com) with shipping charge.
Please help. Thanks.

I can't find the granulated spic and span. Our stores only have the powder. Where can I buy the granulated. I live in Monterey, Tn which is about half way between Nashville and Knoxville, Tn. Could I order the granulated and if so, from where.
thank you, Billie Davis

My house is deteriorating without Chinch!!!! Please help ALL of us housewives that have depended on it to help us keep our hone clean and our families happy!!!

Sorry folks, but the Spic and Span at Ace Hardware is reformulated, the box states "NO PHOSPHATES". Its NOT the same product that really worked!

Years ago when we were cleaning a house where people had smoked and never cleaned walls-counters-drapes; dry SPIC&SPAN took out all the brown and yellow stains without hurting the old fabrics and
made the counters sparkle. Some never new the counters were ever WHITE.

I have been looking for spic n span

it worked great for my jets

I just used the last squirt from my last bottle of Cinch. Has anyone found it recently. I have been all over the web. Other than buying a 9 bottle case, does anyone know where to purchase Cinch. I live outside of Philadelphia, PA.
Thanks.

So the Spic and Span at Ace Hardware is not the same cleaner it used to be?
Back in 1996 when they quit making Spic and Span I bought all I could get my hands on. I am down to my last box (used to have about 40).
Best cleaner ever!!

Just one more person inconvenienced by inability to find Spic 'n Span power. Hard to clean without it.

I found Spic 'n Span powder at True Value hardware store!!! (Oct '09). Both TV hardware stores I checked here in So. Md. (St. Mary's and Calvert) are carrying the powder.

You can get both the powder and Cinch liquid on the Amazon.com website.

Where can I find Professional Strength Soilax in suburban Philadelphia? I have tried a few big box hardware stores, with no luck.

I, like you, have been looking for powdered Spic and Span for years. You'll be happy to know that they've finally came out with a new Spic and Span in powder form. Watch for it in your grocery store.

yes,i was a spic n span user. especially with children growing up from what i remember spic n span products started going off the shelves when wet wipes with detergent started coming out WHY>

I want to make Cinch Multi Cleaner Does anyone know how or know the ingredients

Don't buy Cinch and Spic-N-Span through teebop.com, their shipping costs is extremely high.

Try Ace Hardware and true Value

Clorox sold the Spic & Span line, but it is available through Do It Best Hardware stores. Hope there is a store in your area. Great product, wish they would re-think their marketing and distribute it appropriately.

Haven't had luck finding Spic 'n Span powder, but did find liquid form at Walmart. Next try will be Smart & Final as they have a large commercial cleaning section.
Good luck to all.

good article

good article...

found spic n span at the dollar tree in my area...not the original scents...and not the same cleaning power at all.. the liquid is very thin and runny not as thick as the old version...sorry..not to be quirky..I was just disappointed...esp in the smell... :(

The formulas for our favorite cleaners were changed because they contained ingredients that were no longer allowed under new environmental rules. Soilax has now changed it's name -- can't remember what it is now, but if you search Soilax, you'll find the new product. I bought some when I first found out about the change, but haven't had a chance to use it yet. I am sure it will not work as well. Soilax was a miracle product. I used to put venetion blinds in the bathtub with some Soilax and watch the dirt literally fall off. I barely has to touch it, hung them to dry, and done. I miss my Soilax. I'm sure there's some hidden in the storage room at some old hardware store somewhere, but how do you find those?

when I got married in 1979 I made spic and span the clan smell in my house three time a week I would put my music get on grubby closthes and my rubber gloves and spend the day making my house smell clean! I loved that smell there is nothing like that fresh smell I would have all my windows open spring, summer, fall, and winter the combination of the fresh air and spic and span would make me feel like my house was the freshest house on the street. Then i couldnt find it any more so I tried other products, to this day I cannot find another product that has come close to cleaning or that fresh smell I hope that one day they will bring it back so I can take a week and clean this old house into the fresh smelling home I remember!!!
