Saying that I do love the scent of the Persil range, it is and for as far as my memory goes back, without a doubt the strongest smelling detergent on the market and a very clean smell, but it seems I can’t use it, I itch like crazy :( There must be a component in it that my skin just doesn’t...

Interesting... Thanks. Suppose that’s the issue when large swathes of people are loyal to their brand. Persil as you will already know, was and is UKs best selling detergent, what I find interesting though is that Persil non bio sells more than the bio (not really close, but closer to almost...

So quite a Few different ones then. I was thinking surely the supermarkets had them, but I can’t recall any particular ones as I wouldn’t have looked for them, and of course the supermarkets have themselves changed eg Safeway, Somerfield and Kwik Save all gone, and even though I’m not far...

Haha.... How could I forget, it’s by far and away my most favourite detergent (as in brand),. But upon reading that 1 and only review on the Sainsbury’s website for the Persil Handwash I have forgetten we did indeed have 1 other one (that’s obviously long gone) ARIEL Handwash!!!!

Just Had look and out of the supermarkets, only Tesco carry the Daz one (Wilko has it too, but they have everything) http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/tesco-price-comparison/laundry/daz_handwash_and_twin_tub_powder_9_washes_960g.html According to mysupermarket website, no one has the Persil...

Yes agree... Beside the obvious eBay, Gumtree where they’re available frequently for reasonable prices; US TL are a very very niche market (and even the European HAxis TL machines aren’t that often seen here in UK, tends to be more mainland EU) and if buying new here a US TL is eye wateringly...

Strange... Considering they sell the actual detergents there. Only thing can think of is that they wouldn’t want to risk someone putting a non he detergent in it (do they even exist now?) and be subject to a lawsuit. Yes granted someone could do that in the ones that come with detergent, via...

Smell/scent Is indeed very subjective and I suppose what makes us all different. I do like some of the scents available, but you’re right, some of them are damn evil. Lenor have just released (is it the 8th, maybe more now?) unstoppables scent called “Sun Kiss”, I went to go and buy some...

Sorry Just read your reply again, so it does have a scent. Still odd that it’s smelling acidy though. Wonder if it’s a reaction to the water, or the dyes in the fabric etc?

How strange.... Wonder why it smells that way? I don’t have any experience of the Miele (is it the twin dos?) detergent system. Is the detergent designed to be unscented, or does it carry a scent? I have though so very often of getting a Miele washer and Dishwasher, but I had one of their...

Just watching That video a bit more, it’s pretty cool you can see a portion of the outer drum when accessing the filter (but suppose this bit would always appear clean as this is where that water sits), and I suppose there is nothing stopping you shoving a pod in that bit (maybe??). But the...

Think It may have been an in drum filter/coin trap and not a detergent dispenser (as per linked). I’m sure I saw one in local electrical showroom and was advertised as being an in drum dispenser, but IIRC the fact it literally had only 2 (and not even remotely matching) really put me off it...

Yeah... I’ve thought that, why don’t they put a flap type door (a bit like a dishwasher one, but obviously like a grill type so water could hit it) in the drum or one of the paddles? Saying that, I’m sure there was just the one model from Zanussi that had this feature (would have been about 5...

Washing... Soda is what’s usually recommended. However as you’re in the US, Tide powder is also supposed to work, but only Tide. Well, According to Kim and Aggie from the show “how clean is your house” anyway, (do any of you in the US know that show as they also did the show in the US for a...

Don’t know... If it’s the same for the different brands around the world, but re quantity - our “Dettol” version of this product recommends 2 capfuls of this product per wash load. As mentioned up thread, most of the standard European front loader FS dispensers can no longer hold this amount...

Laundry disenfectant Not sure if it’s new in Canada, but has been around for a good few years now in the US and UK (of course under the Dettol brand in the U.K.), It’s a disenfectant based on quaternary ammonium, aimed at providing bacteria kill for when low temperature cycles or non...

Great video!! Especially the electricity board show room section. I remember the electricity board showrooms (before the real take off of central call centres and electrical home stores) and I’m only a touch over 30. Mine was Norweb (same part of the country, just on the other side - West).

As far... As I know, Downy in it’s “US form” is sold in US, Mexico, Canada and Asia. In all other markets, “Downy” carries a different brand name. Is it possible that you have picked up a product that was meant to be sold in another market (sometimes discount stores pick up stuff meant for...

Yes That’s weird

Rolls Sorry for delay in reply, been on long shifts this week. I think it’s either that one you saw, or possibly the one below (It was £379, with £30 cash back, which the applicance dealer took off the price there and then (so don’t know why it was offered as a “cash back” really)) I’ve put...
