In a word, yes. I trust them just about as much as I trust any other modern brand, anyway. For info, the dryer that caused the issue was part of a recall a few years ago. Clearly the user either didn't know about it or didn't do anything about it. I'd trust a company who will admit it's faults...

I leave the door open & take the drawer out to clean it once a month or so (in the dispenser drawer and under/behind it) but don't do anything else - there's no need.

re: bacteria the surfactants in all laundry detergents will, to some extent, kill off bacteria. Soap alone can do that. With powders, the oxy bleach will give it a boost of anti-bacterial action - better for kitchen linens, bedsheets, kids clothes or anything where added hygiene is required...

Never had to do a maintenance wash No offence meant, but I firmly believe so-called maintenance washes are only required for individuals who don't know how to wash. These "shove everything on quick 30 with a liquitab" people. Providing appropriate detergents and temps are used (I'm not a...

we are going to need more chairs for the fireworks Nevermind the chairs, we need more baps slicing and spreading!

My vote goes to the Beko - hands down the best machines at the budget end of the market. Ok, they're not Siemens or Miele, but they wash well, easy to use and relatively reliable. Certainly better than anything Indesit or Candy are churning out. The higher end models are induction too, so very...

That wash house is just so brilliant! Looks like a great day was had and always nice to see some new faces, hopefully the first time of many :).

I've not seen this range yet - this looks really stylish! Nice one, Rob! The programs are similar to my Neff. We have Incentive 70, Auto 45-65 (I use this one all the time), Eco 50, Quick Wash and Rinse only.

The expression "look at the muck in 'ere" comes to mind. Good luck though, it'll look fantastic by the time your done. I got bitten by the Hotpoint bug recently myself, alas I don't have room for anything vintage unfortunately.

Janak, this thread is 4 years old and the profile "boschlover1997" is no longer active, so you may not get a response.

I haven't used colour detergent for years, but I do agree about the smell. It has a very fresh scent to it, much nicer than the bio liquid. For scent, my favourite is still the Persil S&M Non-Bio liquid. I could drink that stuff it smells so good lol.

Liam, the number to ring is 0800 644 6090

Yes, they still do them, but you have to ring up and order them.

Almat scoop

I have!! I have a bit of a thing about laundry scoops actually. I'm constantly in search of the perfect scoop lol. I don't use the Persil scoop though - it's a bit like a windsock and isn't particularly good. I tend to use the Almat scoop. It's a nice, sturdy plastic and similar in size to the...

In all fairness though Liam, most powders are compact powders just not in compact packaging. The dosting recommendations on Ariel and Persil for example are pretty much the same as Ultra and Microsystem were back in the day. The powders have remained concentrated, but the compact packaging was...

That's an interesting theory Liam. I wonder if we'll see a return of compact powders. Aren't Persil doing refil packs for Small & Mighty again? I do wonder sometimes how far these detergent manufactuers can go. I mean, we've had everything - powder, liquid, tablets, liquitabs, various dosing...

There's another documentary about it here
