And... I’ve just now read the back of the soap pack (and I’m seriously confused) can indeed see CERT brands on it, so why on Earth is the Unilever logo on it? Is CERT a division of them?

@Rolls Good news for you, the Lux at Morrison’s IS Unilever (I have just taken the attached pics now)

You can Still get Lux, @Rolls, but only Morrison’s sells it, I buy regularly. You can also order on Amazon (either pink or white on there), but dearer than Morrison’s (works out at about £1.25 a bar)...

Thanks MrAlex. I can’t recall trying Asda detergent for what must be 10+years (I hardly ever go there), but have seen their liquids in these bottles. About a year or so back I did try Morrison’s own (but not in this bottle, it was a bottle that resembled the small and mighty detergent...

Load size I would probably say 4/5kg is still probably the maIn size, but when referencing their detergents, they say the middle/avg dose is calculated on 6-8kg. They would wouldn’t they. Not sure how much longer this will be, as most people now are switching to bigger machines, I’ve had...

It always interested me How the adverts in the past were almost identical (but not the same) here and over there have seen it many times. Now though they use the same and Lenor especially is just the US advert redubbed with the word Lenor over Downy (in fact often time, seeing a box of a very...

Haha Love that Surf collection - wonder if it has the same scent as Radion did? We had Surf too, (still do) but over here, at the time of Radion’s launch (1989) Surf was mainly geared towards being a great economical value powder (probably stemming from “Square deal Surf” that had become known...

Yes, confirming, For the U.K., you can’t get Borax here from anywhere. We have the “Borax substitute” from Dri-Pak. Like MrAlex, I have seen “Borax” on eBay, but in truth this could be anything from the substitute, to bicarbonate of soda through to washing soda (I certainly wouldn’t know the...

Market share of powders is still about 50% I think. I think we are at about the same over here (I want to say 53% from the last figure I saw), but this is something the are desperately trying to change (P&G more so it seems). The dose for their powders is off the charts, even their smallest...

Certainly Seems that way, with the few that have jumped on the market. Wonder if we’ll see any on this side of the pond? Our 1 main detergent that used to advertise specifically for odour eradication “Radion”, disappeared nigh on 20 years ago. Sure most detergents state they remove odours but...

Cellulase With P&G, this seems to get added and removed from formulas as and when the mood takes them (see https://www.info-pg.com). I’d heard that cellulase is the most costly enzyme? If so, would dare say this has something to do with it. Would like to smell the new Persil formulas, but as...

Haha, I believe so,. It’s so sad, and we all know that’s it’s because powders are much cheaper to buy and use (but apparently more costly to produce) and whilst everyone has their own preferences, powders contain far more “tricks in the box” ie oxygen bleach included, enzymes kept more stable...

Compared to the UK we have been late to the party so to spea We are actually down to 35ml now in the U.K, and would say we have been for at least a couple of years (if not more, it could actually be closer to 4/5 years). This could have been spurred on by the fact we have had the “small and...

they really don't have much sentimentality about these t That does make sense, considering how often Waitrose do so badly at their own detergent lines in Which tests. If memory serves, besides the discounters, only Tesco or Sainsbury’s have ever “produced” a Which Best Buy product.

Doesn’t Surprise me (well it does of course) but not so much so considering who Tandil is made for. Int the U.K., Our Lidl detergent “Formil” has just been named “best washing powder on test” by our consumer reports magazine “Which” I think at one time, our Aldi detergent “Almat” (we don’t...

I wonder if some of the UK supermarkets may be using the sam It’s seems strange with detergents, as the suppliers seems to differ depending on format. Can only really speak for Sainsbury’s, but I know all their “Mid level” detergents - the ultra ultra concentrated powder (the one that comes in...

Formil is a great detergent, but it really has a ghastly sce Yes it does! I have some in the stash (new as well, ie from the last week). I don’t care for the scent at all.

Hmm, I wonder who makes Waitrose's detergents? I really don’t know, but I do know they ALWAYS do badly for Which (never made a bestbuy, and quite regularly appear on the dont buy). Just find it funny considering they’re touted as the “better/upper” supermarket (even possessing all 3 Royal...

Which Lidl Formil is the winner this time, with it being named “the best washing powder on test” going on to say it was the “real stand out product” for stain removal capabilities and joint best at grease removal. Ariel 2nd place, but Ariel was cited as best bio detergent for not fading...

Have never quite understood why there are few to nil offerin Apparently, there just isn’t enough of a demand for them?. With the Surf website even going as far to say that detergent formulas don’t smell nice at all, hence the added scent. There are one or two though (eg OMO (in Spain/Portugal...
