Their max temperature setting is 90 ºC. Really hot!

Tesco has it for sale right now.Is it a new variant of Surf? http://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=293597616

On my last trip to Budapest,I have used a laundromat and I would like to share some pictures of it.It was named "Bubbles" and it was a franchise.There were many stores in different areas of Budapest.All washers and dryers are "Renzacci"(I think it is a british brand).Some thinks that impressed...

Persil power I've read about the persil power failure. and I was wondering if that disaster formula has ever been imported as well in other european markets(as Skip/Omo) or it was only a UK thing.Is there any possibility that the persil power formula failure contributed to the total...

Powder tablets here in Greece never became very popular,because of the high cost in comparison with powder.The first powder tablets,Skip tablets,were launched in 1998.You couldn't put them in the detergent drawer like the powder because they wouldn't dissolve,but you had to put them in a net...

Was Wisk ever sold in the UK?I thought it was an exclusively american brand.Speaking of american detergents,I have a great curiosity how american Tide powder smells.Does it smell any like our Ariel or it has a completely different perfume cocktail?Are generally american compact powders more...

Once I've used a laundromat in Cyprus,after removing clothes from the dryer,I found some blackish oily residue on some clothes.It wasn't there before washing of when I removed them from from washing machine to put them in the dryer,so there was something in the dryer that stained my clothes.It...

Splosh Interesting.What company produces it?Is it available only in Scotland or it can be found in other countries too?Can you find it in supermarkets or it is sold only by post?

So,they were discontinued because of the stupidity of the people doing lanudry.They used the same doses as they were used to with ordinary powders,so they ran out of powder too soon.

Persil megaperls is sold only in Germany,USA and maybe 2-3 more countries.Do you have them in Bulgaria too?The dosaging maybe has been reduced,but in the last 15 years we never had a really compact powder,like the american ones.We used to have before 20-25 years,but they quickly disappeared.I...

I remember american-type compact powders were sold in Greece too in late '80s-early '90s.In late '90s all companies abandoned compact powder development and production and returned to normal powders,and they started developing compact liquids.Until today,liquids become more and more compact and...

So I suppose that you could as well add fabric conditioner instead of starch,if you wanted a normal rinse,but I doubt if fabric conditioners were sold at '60s

My new Candy and many other washer models have prewash only in the boil wash programme.So you can't run a prewash for coloreds.Modern washers are soooo different than the old ones.I wonder how did the '60s people wash their non-fast coloreds without a 40 ºC programme.Either the vast majority of...

Pretty weird programme menu.How different were the washing habits 56 years ago! -Prewash with every programme -Dial should be turned to a special position in order to skip prewash -4 wash programmes at 95 ºC while most modern washers barely have 1 -Special programme for diapers! -Extra 55 ºC...

Since when is Ace not a P&G Brand?I searched it and I found that it is now distributed by a company called "Fater S.p.A."Until last year I remember it being still a P&G brand.

Liquids work better at low temperatures because they dissolve immediately.Powders genetally clean better because they contain more enzymes than liquids,but they barely disolve at cold or tepid water,and undisolved powder leaves white stains on dark clothes.So powder rocks on warm/hot water but...

In Argentina and Mexico,Tide is named Ace,while in Greece,Ace is a brand of oxygen-based liquid bleach

Lidl's Formil is available in Greece too,both in regular and color version.But as most people wash their coloreds at low temperatures with liquids or capsules,i don't find any reason for buying special bleachless powder for coloreds,powders are mostly used for whites or light coloreds.

Which brand of washing powder do you think that has the best fragrance? Between greek detergents I believe that Skip active clean smells the best.Ariel and Dixan also smell sympathetically,but Skip has a special fragrance that smells like cleanliness and freshness to me and clothes are smelling...
