This is one of the reasons you see a date code on the packet. P&G does toe the line about detergents and other laundry products having a shelf live of about one year. I am very curious to hear what you have to say on this!Īs detailed in a previous post here in the group, just the past weekend did several loads of wash with a box of "Gain" detergent that by all accounts >20 years old. Seems like detergent a few years ago was very prone to leave these deposits and I've seen it in several machines with white agitators. Seems like most people think it never goes bad, but again, I am curious what our crowd says.įinally, and the second reason why I called P&G - has anyone noticed a grayish or brownish haze on an agitator after using liquid detergents? I don't mean white residue, I mean something gray or brown. I am shocked!!! If that's true, I have a whole lot of stock pile that is "out of date".ĭo the experts here agree with that? I know I've used old detergents and had no issues with it. So, I asked P&G - they said "Yes, detergent has a shelf life of one year from date of manufacture." They said that it won't hurt to use it when older than that, but that it may not be as effective. It said something like April 2012, and another was June 2012. What started the issue is several fold, but I noticed on a bargain brand detergent bottle at a local grocer recently that an expiration date was PRINTED on the neck of the bottle. I am not sure if this has been discussed on here before or at much length, but I raised a question for P&G today about laundry detergent expiration dates.
