Salvo (detergent)

Salvo was an American laundry detergent of the mid 20th century.

It was made in the form of large beveled discs of compressed powdered laundry detergent that could be chucked directly into the washing machine.

[citation needed] Salvo was launched by Procter & Gamble in the early or mid 1960s.

It was not successful, due at least in part to the failure of the discs to entirely dissolve, and was discontinued in 1974.

This product was sold in the United States only 2004–2005, but (as of 2020) remains active in Latin America.
