BajaNomad - No powder cleanser??

No powder cleanser??

Cyanide41 - 10-26-2010 at 04:07 PM

So I went to a local walmart and to commercial mexicana and I could not find any powered cleanser such as comet or ajax. The next day I happened to be in Chula Vista and hit the Walmart there. I STILL could not find any and thought "this is crazy!" An employee just happened to walk by and was able to show me 3 cans left waaaay in the back on the bottom shelf. So apparently the stuff is very popular and that walmart is full of Mexicans.

So now I am wondering if powder cleansers are not available in baja????

It's a Fabulosa market.

Cyanide41 - 10-26-2010 at 04:11 PM

That's for sure, but it has no grit!

Exactly why Mexicans have such well developed upper arms. :lol:

NowNowNow....I'm sure someone with a fertile imagination can work that statement into something racist. Maybe Janet Murgia??

Anyway...I've bought lots of powder cleanser here. I don't pay much attention to brand names with stuff like that.

Odd not to see the stuff. You know...I cant find Cheese Puffs that dont have freaking hot chili seasoning in it....anywhere in Baja! What is this?

motoged - 10-26-2010 at 05:02 PM

Ya, but you can use it to clean stuff...leaves a nice sepia residue :lol:

Try baking soda + nylon mesh pot scraper.

Yesterday I bought two cans of Ajax at the former CCC here in Cabo. The shelf was fully stocked witrh powdered cleansers.

bajabound2005 - 10-27-2010 at 07:04 AM

Costco, Smart & Final in Baja both carry Ajax.

Si, use something like Awesome cleaner (better than Fabuloso which has such a strong smell), and then add your baking soda for abrasion, or bleach as needed. Awesome cleaner is pretty awesome - cheap too. I really miss the SaniFlush dry granule toilet bowl cleaner. The granules would sit at the bottom, foam up and do their job. Why get rid of such a great product. And they changed the recipe for Stouffers macaroni and cheese - now it's crap. And the cans of tuna are smaller but still the same price. Ditto with coffee. 10 oz can? $1.25 for a can of Herdez in San Diego, but 45 cents in TJ? They're yanking our chain.

I am coming to Sf in the next couple of weeks...how bad do you want cheesepuffs without hot chili? Nancy

nbacc - 10-27-2010 at 08:51 AM

oops... Isee you are not in SF at the moment. You can take your own when you go I guess

Good to know! Thanks for the info.

toneart - 10-30-2010 at 01:19 PM

Just mix sand in with your Fabuloso. :spingrin:

Oh, wait! Sand won't dissolve. Maybe use granulated salt? Just don't touch you privates after using as some folks do. :rolleyes:

It's not that complicated, maybe it's one of those spill-over things from CA. Those CA folks seem to have a hard time with things no matter how simple. :lol:

Cheetos in Baja

Cultural Differences ? Or Generational ?

In San Felipe, at least, I once verified that despite there being at least Hundreds of bags in the Chili variety at a dozen stores there wasn't a Single bag of originals to be found.

As somewhat of an addict, I embarked on the search when mi esposa committed the sin of forgetting to pack them.

Now, we head South with an abundance. I'll never have to look again.

AND, what's with this Limon in everything ? Chips, nuts ? I bought a pack of "regular" Blanched Peanuts once and, with the first mouthful, "WTF" ? It wasn't anywhere on the label other than in the "tiny-print" listing of ingredients.

The locals use liquid cleanser and just put sand in it. This works pretty well, but don't use it on glass.

It kills bacteria, unlike vanilla flavoring which used to be in everything. I knew it had all gone too far when Crest toothpaste came out with a vanilla flavored product. :barf:

Something ELSE to Worry About ?

MrBillM - 10-31-2010 at 09:53 AM

Great. We need to worry about BACTERIA in Packaged Mexican Products ?

That's encouraging. And, another reason to bring your own.
