It's odd that they don't make Tide Coldwater in a HE version. You'd have thought the 2 things go hand in hand! One other thing I've wondered about Tide is why the various versions of it give different numbers of washes? They are all 2x concentrated and yet a medium sized bottle gives anything...

Laurent, You're very welcome! :) Don't worry about the dosing device, like David says, it is really quiet in the machine, I think you'll find the one from the Dreft bottle more noisy. The gel really does all wash out of the cap, and there's no trace of it when you take it out of the drum...

My last washer and dryer were both Servis. :( And I ALWAYS wore heels, it recommended them in the manual.

We don't have the European concentrated powders here...yet. Both P&G and Unilever are going to launch them in the UK early next year though. Some supermarket own brands have already launched their own concentrated versions. We had them briefly before but they were phased out and replaced with...

Back in those days Tide was still a UK brand too!

I was surprised about the OBs in the Colour version, but after using it for a month and washing new jeans with other new coloured clothes, there was absolutely no colour transfer, no fading and no obvious signs of OBs altering the shade of anything either. I use colour detergent more than any...

LOL! I had a can of Tab when I was in the US and it was awful! It tastes like a really cheap supermarket brand diet cola. I only bought it for the novelty value as we used to have Tab in the UK but it was the clear version back in the mid/late 80s, (I think we had the normal stuff too) I...

Hoarding at Asda... Hi David, Yes I'm afraid I did! I've a cupboard full of the stuff and erm, another cupboard full too! It was too good an offer not to take full advantage of it... ;) Laurent, the Gel doesn't have a strong scent like other Ariel products you may have tried. It's quite light...

Pulsator Wow - that was pretty quick!

Hoarding at Asda has come to an end! :( It's £3.98 now (still cheaper than Tesco!)

Glad you guys in the US took the plunge and are going to be are giving it a whirl! If only there was a US site like that selling your detergents to the UK. :)

Dasani You still get this stuff in the US but when it was found out to be filtered tap water, with similar scare stories about carcinogens as the article from the original post of this thread, it was withdrawn from sale in the UK and then production was scrapped. It just shows how desperate a...

If you're going to buy bottled water, it should be mineral water that naturally comes out of the ground, needs no chemical treating and remains untouched from source to bottling. "Spring water" isn't as natural as it sounds and can often just be regular water drilled out of the ground and...

Laurent, just to add... ...I've done the exact same thing re: bringing laundry stuff back from other countries, so you're not alone!! My last trip to the US involved a stash of Tide Total Care HE, Downy Total Care, and Downy Pure Essentials Aloe & White Lilac and a bottle of Cheer HE too! Add...

soapnsuds Try Britsuperstore (link below) It's a bit overpriced but it's one of those sites that sells British food etc. to other countries...

I wonder how long it will be before they roll this product out Worldwide? I read that they launched in the UK as it is a particularly competitive market and UK consumers demand innovative products. It also took 3 years and 5 million trial versions to create the final product. It'll be...

Rolls_rapide Yeah maybe you're right, hadn't thought of that! Maybe it was a late addition/improvement to the packaging. It certainly stops any messy drips, it's like a squeezy ketchup bottle I thought!

Yeah Seamus, I noticed that too. There *must* be other differences though. I got another couple of Colour versions from Asda too - the big displays were virtually empty. And is it just my versions or is the Bio the only one with a valve type dispenser thing, instead of just a hole that's on the...

LOL - I agree with Betty, the 'u' should be forced back into American-i(z)sed words!

I did the toughest test yet (for me at least!) - some white napkins that had quite crusty pasta-type sauce and gravy stains from at least 2 weeks ago. (yuck - I'd forgotten about them!). Put them in at 30º with the Febreze version, they came out completely clean and not a hint of anything on...
