Thanks! Will let you know if they are any good!

Must have ideas They are called simple sheets...you put a sheet on top of your laundry or you can put in the detergent drawer. They have 66,585 5 star reviews so will test and let you know... they come in a box of 100...one per wash

I have purchased some washing sheets today, as an alternative to powder or liquid. Has any one tried them on here? Are they any good? Must have ideas were selling them and the reviews seem promising Thoughts please

Yes once a week, kitchen towels and bath towels get a pre wash, cottons 95 in my Miele with either Persil bio or Ariel...POWDER! i use liquid on everything else and have started using minimum iron 20 for other stuff and to be honest, everything comes out clean! i am a firm believer in a boil...

Miele, any day! My current Miele,bought in 2012 is used every single day of the week...it does a cottond 95 wash weekly, otherwise its minimum iron 40 or quickwash 30 for all other programmes...it has never let me down! A couple of years back, the door seal went and i called Miele...they came...

Persil Aloe vera non bio liquid now on rollback in Asda £6.00

Yes! It reminded me of the persil powder with Aloe Vera from Macro back in the 90’s

Just done a white 95d wash with it. The bath towels look great. But they always do. The tea towels haven’t cleaned as well though, still traces of stains so will have another wash in persil bio. It really does smell great though! So fresh!!

Browsing in Asda Clapham junction today, I came across the new Persil non bio aloe Vera liquid on rollback at £7.50 for a 54 wash bottle. It would have been rude not to buy one and it smells divine!

We have a facebook group "old London Street lighting"... got some great photos of Londons lights of time gone by. Growing up in the 60's, our lighting was mainly sodium or mercury on concrete posts...

Brilliant! Thanks for this..it has brought back many memories of past machines... Back in 1977, I got a magazine from WH Smiths called which washing machine?..it had a drawn picture of a front loader with water three quarters up the glass.All I remember it was a mine of information, listing all...

I was in Savers today and saw this Ariel laundry cleanser, similar to Dettols, added to the fabric condioner compartment.. i bought some but wondered if anyone has tried it...

Line drying... Lovely day for drying towels...

Sainsburys ,Balham London I got the shock of my life today!..Shelves were totally empty for All detergents, fabric conditioners, bleach, household bits etc, meat, dairy,bread, apart from some rolls, flour cat/dog food, fruit and veg, tinned goods...it really looked like the store had been looted

Back in the 70's, i seem to recall a tv ad for a Creda washing machine that spun in one direction, stopped and spun in the other direction. Magnus Pike, as i recall was "demonstrating" it..or did i imagine it?
