P&G's new laundry line makes fashion pitch (AP)

THE PRODUCTS: Procter & Gamble Co.'s new Tide detergent and Downy fabric softener "Total Care" line is hitting store shelves this month.

THE PITCH: P&G says the new laundry products draw on technology from its beauty care division to help clothes keep their new look, shape and color longer through repeated washing.

MAKE IT WORK: Reality TV fashion mentor Tim Gunn offers tips on a Tide Web site, and a $60 million marketing campaign also will include a tie-in with clothing chain Ann Taylor's Loft stores and advertising in such magazines as Elle, Vogue and Cosmopolitan.
