gorenje yeah i remember that Lenor, I really liked those bottles. in the 90s detergent packaging looked rather classy, I always liked the packaging of Ariel Ultra/Ariel Futur. I even have an Ariel Ultra Tin that I bought from ebay :D I remember that Daz Packaging as well, the mealtime mess...

Gorenje I love your blog, I really miss Lenor Care fabric conditioner, My favourite was Alpine Fresh, and Oriental Blossom (the pink cap one) i also remember Bold Summer Meadow fresh, in the 90s as my mum used to use that in our Whirlpool :) what a great collection of detergents you have :)

more bubbles if the bubbles last longer it means the water gets less greasy, more surfactants suspend more grease in the water, making more dishes to be washed, which is better value for money, if it washes more dishes, meaning you do less washing up. obviously if you have a dishwasher its...

My Jeans I have alot of Jeans, and they dont need washing alot, so thats why i wash them every few months, 1) 30*c cleans a majority of my clothes fine, without any odours 2) alot of my clothes are worn once or twice without any visable stains 3) alot of my clothes are dark, so a hotter...

Rob Its you, you have a massive chip on your shoulder I do wash my jeans every 2 months, sometimes once every month...im not contradicting myself, and in this blog im only suggesting an opinion, everyone does laundry differently, but i do it in the most ecological way possible. and I look...

I do one wash a week =] Ronhic, most of my clothes are dark or coloured, all my boxers/socks are black, so i dont need to sort them i just stick em all in together, fill the machine up, set it to 30*c and put in a tablet and some conditioner. My clothes are mostly lightly soiled so never need...

I do 30*c I only do about one wash a week =] and I wash at 30*c with one biological tablet (Almat Bio) i use this for whites and colours, my darks have limited fading, and my whites are nice and bright. sheets and towels get 40*c and on occasion the odd 60*c wash, I dont have allergies, and...

French/German/European Ariel Im interested in this as well, is the German Ariel formula, the Ariel Essential Formula that we had years ago. The Uk Ariel has a very strong fragrance, it used to smell pleasant, but is now very heavily perfumed, i cant bear to be in the same room as clothes...

Optima I have the Almat bio & colour tablets, my housemate had a few almat non bio tablets that she didn't like for some reason and i tried them and they are better at removing grease and stains from whites than the bio tablets, they probably have a higher level of bleach in them. I dont think...

dark loads i know that they probably wouldn't be great for whites due to them not having any bleaching or brightners in, but i wear alot of black and dark coloured clothes, and these aren't really heavily soiled. I suppose for whites you could add an oxygen bleach/bicarbonate of soda...

I have been thinking has anyone used soapnuts to wash their laundry, and are they effective? Ive been watching videos about them and wondered how good they are at cleaning away dirt. Soapnuts release seponin, which is a natural soap which is has anti fungal and anti bacterial properties. they...

Detergents used to clean well I actually think 10 years ago and even 5 years ago detergents cleaned perfectly well, Ariel Futur, Ariel Essential, Ariel with Quickwash Action, these were all based on the same formula, to clean well at 40 degrees. Even Daz and Surf Cleaned better than they do...

Ariel at 40*c Ive used Ariel, but Ive always washed at 40*c, as its the optimum temperature for most things, I do Darks at 30*c and Whites at 40*c. But even at 40*c Ariel should remove Pasta Sauce and Tomato stains easily, i was disappointed, as I remember 10 years ago when i was at school...

Does anyone think the cleaning power of detergents has gone downhill over the past 5-10 years?? Remember the days when you took a load out the machine and admired the cleanliness and how your wash was spotless. It seems like most detergents are focused on fragrance and freshness over cleaning...

Beko are good I bought my mum a Beko 1200 5kg washing Machine for £184 and its still going strong, its a year old now and its still washes well, and theres no mould in it, even though my parents wash at 40*c for everything, they leave the door ajar after every wash, and they use Powder...

Non Bio Powders There is more bleaching agents in Non Bio powders to make up for the lack of enzymes that biological powders have =] My Parents have a beko WM5120W which is a year old on the 24th August, and it only sudslocks when we are washing heavy items such as towels or a big load of...
