Persil S&M Bio About 35ml (1 Cap) of that added to the ball with a tablespoon of Napisan on either a 30c or 40c wash. Towels come out great & smelling fresh everytime. Napisan kills the germs & Persil leaves them fresh smelling. Also use 1/3 cap of Comfort or Lenor Concentrate.

No need for stain remover Napisan does that better than Vanish in my opinion, Vanish is just overpriced & expensive, & you only need a little bit per load. Might smell odd on the first use, but it has been tested & proven to kill germs at 30c. Also, Denture Tablets work great for whitening whites

No I don't use boil washes, higher I ever go up to is 50c. If you can get it, buy Napisan, you can get it in Tescos, Sainsburys & Wilkos & soak the towel overnight in a solution of 5l hot water & 2 tbsp Napisan. Wash it with whites at 40c using a further 2 tbsp with normal detergent. Try...

12 Minute Wash Even though these programs that do in 12 Minutes are handy for single items or items that need washing quickly due to stains, as mentioned they can't handle 7kg with 1200rpm spin in 12 minutes! That said though, look on the Russell Hobbs washer at ASDA Direct.com & read some...

Never heard it in action though, except that time I was about 8 & we went to nans & I heard it spin. Thought it was hellish noisy compared to our LG at home

Hotpoint WM This is the machine except it's in Graphite: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/hotpoint-washing-machine-/261192775274?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Kitchen_Washing_Machines_Dryers&hash=item3cd04d766a

I'm going to nan's tomorrow & will try the fast spin inside, seems my sister's having it anyway, it wont last long then :D I will try & get a few pics of the machine, model number etc.

Hi! I was out with my nan today & she was explaining a problem she has with her Hotpoint Washing Machine. It's the same as HooverAC110s, except its got a pull out drawer not a swingy one. She told me that during the spin, it doesn't ramp up to 1400rpm, which it is set to do, so clothes are...

Almat Despite the fact that my Aldi s not IN town technically I had to walk about 1 mile out of my way to get some. When I arrived I was overwhelmed at the choice but chose colour as it suited me best. The only trouble is since using Almat I'm itching, eczema flaring up too. This probably is...

I have to agree with Optima that Almat Is very good. Also Surcare is produced by McBride.

Paul Due to AW.org I went & got myself some Aldi Almat in Colour form & let me tell you it's fantastic! For a start its cheaper than Persil & Ariel Colour, you only need 50ml per wash load (in my soft water, 50ml for clothes & 75ml for the rest). The powder dissolves rapidly due to the small...

Hi Again! I've been here for about 1 day so far & have already learnt a lot from my P&G Detergents thread (that got off to a bit of a shaky start) but recently on eBay I found the wash balls (laundry balls). I always thought they were very expensive but found some for as little as 99p! I am...

Throw & Go Oh yes i've seen those, just needed my memory refreshing! I am pondering on wether to use wash balls & probably will do a thread on that, just not yet!

lavamat_john Where are those 'Throw & Go' from? And for how much?

Nice Hoovermatic you've got there, hope to find a Hotpoint Twin Tub soon

Hi there, this is my second thread but does anyone have a Hotpoint or English Electric or any Hotpoint Style Twin Tub for sale? I prefer the design of these to Hoovermatics or Servis Supertwins but they seem to be too far away from me on eBay. Thanks for ny replies as I would really like one!

WM Cleaning To clean the washer, I put it on a 60 or 95 cycle with 800rpm spin & put in a good dose of either Ariel Bio / Daz / Persil Bio, add some Soda Crystals (Washing Soda) to the drawer & throw in a couple of Denture Cleaning Tablets in the Drum. When the wash is done it always leaves...

Thanks for youur reply Chestermikeuk, I will agree that Persil is good. Love the Powder best & the liquigel. I think I'll just post of readily done forums for now.

Homemade FS I make my own & sell it on the local carboots. It's really simple. Even though it contains vinegar it's diluted & won't be a problem. Vinegar keeps the machine clean & free of odours. All you do is get 8 Cups (2 Litres) of Hand Hot Water, & put that in a bowl or something, then add...

I'd be ashamed if our fridge got to THAT state!
