"either dropped it or it goes by another name..." I wondered about that too as I couldn't see it listed either. However, SOMAT Gold 12 Lemon & Lime seems to have two instances of Protease, and one Amylase enzyme. As does SOMAT 10 All-in-One:  PROTEASE  PROTEASE  AMYLASE Wikipaedia...

Dated from 2019: https://cen.acs.org/business/consumer-products/Updating-innovation-cleaning-product-industry/97/i8 'Henkel’s first prize for laundry and home care innovation went to a new enzyme, licheninase, that the Danish enzyme maker Novozymes developed for Henkel’s Somat automatic...

Clover Don't get rid of clover, it fixes nitrogen into the soil by way of symbiotic bacteria. Thus you end up with greener, healthier grass. And the bees like clover too.

Store brand detergents It can be quite annoying when a store changes supplier. And some of the detergents can and do smell vile. I bought a pack of the new Lidl dishwasher pods (these had a diagonal pouch of powder, with two small triangles of liquid in the opposite diagonal). The smell from...

Non-Bio Powder Even the UK supermarkets sell their own 'Non-Bio' powders, so it is not really a duopoly between P&G and Lever.

I suspect that the only way to get away from the cheesy smell, is to radically change your detergent. Switch the TwinDos function firmly off. Try switching to a conventional powder (one which has an oxygen bleach built in, like Persil or Ariel) for a few washes. See if that improves your...

Misaligned control knob I have to say, that brings back memories of a Hoover (Candy) 'Quattro' machine, circa 2001. The control knob on that went the same way, and it was pot luck whether you ended up with the right programme and soiling level on the first spin of the dial. I believe on the...

"@rolls_rapide I suppose i could just add a scoop of own brand Tesco or Sainsburys 'Whites' booster on top of the Splosh as also suggested by @Foraloysius." Yes, that is what the customer did in the Splosh review, she noticed that it required two scoops worth to get the whites bright again. I...

'Splosh' powder According to their customers' reviews, most seem happy with it. However, one customer comments on their whites being 'very dingy and grey'.

Lidl 'Formil' Bio Powder Lidl's Formil powder has, apparently, recently been reformulated - and sourced from yet another manufacturer. The latest version has the name 'Formil' as straight block lettering. (The previous versions had it as sloping upwards). This new version is made by Persan of...

So, does that come to a grand sum of around €3,000 odd for the two machines? I think an awful lot of folk will just not entertain these prices.

A3156 Autocare 1100 Series Five, Episode One of 'Sorry!' (with Ronnie Corbett as Timothy Lumsden), apparently features this machine. About 5 minutes into the episode. The machine seems to be identical to the pics in Reply #106, above. In previous episodes, there was a Hotpoint toploader...

Bibby possibly plucked the name out of thin air, to make it distinctive compared to the likes of Persil, Daz, Surf and Tide. Or perhaps the 'Pat' name was based on the name of the low-foaming detergent ingredient. Maybe it was patented, hence 'Pat'? They had other soap powders and bar soaps...

I came across this on Ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265613701043?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338722076&customid=&toolid=10050

Cystic Fibrosis "However, they are using Deoxyribonuclease in inhaler form for patients with Cystic Fibrosis. It can't be *that* bad in minor exposures." From Jaybird14's link: Apparently it assists by: "reducing the viscosity of cystic fibrosis sputum." Allowing patients, I presume, to...

Probably based on the fact that laundry soiling is composed of a multitude of different types of dirt, phosphodiesterase is supposed to snip away at the bonds between DNA and the surface to be cleaned. It should work against 'ring round the collar' dead skin cells, sweat and sebum grime. Since...

Spin speed for the Indesit models is 2800rpm. https://markselectrical.co.uk/NISDP429_Indesit-Smart-Pump-Spin-Dryer.html

Indesit... Not quite. The Indesit models (two of them), are still roughly based on the Creda 'Debonair' designs. The motor support suspension is a tad more substantial compared to the Thomas/White Knight/Crosslee design. The Indesit models are made in Hungary - and available to buy in the UK...

Jaguar, but not a Jaguar advert...

I'm sure we've had this sort of conversation about pet hair, a couple of years ago.
