In the 1950s, sales plummeted when a newly detergent, Tide, manufactured by rival Procter & Gamble, proved to be a lot more popular. Rinso was revamped in the early 1950s as a detergent with add blue agent, and was branded and distinctively packaged as Rinso Blue, to differentiate it from the still available Rinso White soap powderize. By the mid-1960s the soap product was discontinued. The detergent was again reformulated, and given a new diagnose, Sunshine Rinso. The justification for the name change was that the new and improved Rinso now had “ fair weather whiteners ”.
