Ahh ok, I'd recommend the Gold Orchid! (In gold bottle) it's really good!

I've got the new concentrated Lenor, no problems whatsoever. Smells great and the smaller bottle fits in the cupboard much better! Great that only half a cap is needed. I'm sitting here smelling my pillows that were washed a week ago (washed and then put in the cupboard) and they still smell of...

Ariel Bio Powder and Lenor Gold Orchid for me!

Hi guys, Washed my whites on 60 and everything came out brilliantly! Thanks everyone!

Thanks, in the whites wash everything is white and things that have a bit of colour on have been washed many times before so I'm not too worried. I'll let you guys know on the outcome!

Thanks for the reassuring advice guys! Will give it a go at the weekend when I need to wash my school shirts. :)

Thanks for the advice! Towels and bedding are always on 60, sometimes teatowels sneak in with them darks/lights but we rarely wash up and they are only hand towels. I do boil towels ever few months to keep the machine clean (only boiled them once in this machine so far) Darks go on 40 with...

Thanks for the replies! I use Ariel Bio Powder for my whites, bedding and towels. Colour version for darks. I have Pods and liquid too but don't like them as much so my mum uses them when she does the washing. With my whites I add a scoop of Waitrose Essential white stain remover, I've only...

I have two cats, I change my bedding weekly and haven't washed my duvet in ages (it wouldn't fit in my old machine) and I haven't died yet. I like to be clean but they don't go in my bed and they're relitavely hygienic so I'm not worried. Will wash my pillows and duvets soon.

Thanks for that! Your machine sounds similar to my WP, mine only has Synthetics 30 and 40 though, maybe I need to get some pics up! I haven't used the prewash yet, do you notice much difference? Maybe I could try Whites 60 with easy ironing or something? Would bras go funny at 60? My mum...

Thanks, so they should be ok? Unfortunately my machine doesn't have variable temperatures (unlike the freestanding version with 50 and 70C! My mums always told me that things shrink at 60, but I presume that's just delicate items like wool?

Quite new to this so I hope I've posted in the right section! I normally wash my whites at 40, but would like to start doing them at 60C. (my machine has a Whites 60C programme) My whites load mainly consits of my school shirts (35% Cotton 65% Polyester) and other items like underwear (cotton...

Surely duvets would stay clean under clean sheets? If you're that worried about Hygene I'm surprised you allow dogs in your bed.

Nice, bekos are good machines. :) I thought about a Beko for my new washer but opted for Whirlpool in the end as its a brand we've had before (all are still going and one washer is 14!) and I love it! I know people slate them but I'm really happy. Glad your Beko has done well!

Looks nice! More pics please!

Sorry, can't help on Persil and non bio, but I love my Ariel my Bio and Colour Powder! I am relatively new to powder and it's fab, everything smells so nice and cleans brilliantly! Only con is it's more expensive than Persil, so I stock up when it's on offer.

Thanks for sharing! They look really nice, it would look better with matching machines though. Bosch dryers are good, I love my bosch Black Edition dryer! (It's like yours but black and doesn't have a heat pump)

Sorry no tips, but would love to see some pics! I have a Bowch condenser dryer, and it's a great machine! I wish it would reverse though.

I've got a new Whirlpool built in washing machine, it's brilliant!

Just built my own, it's awesome! http://www.ebac.com/washing-machines/create/share/8444-c24f4c5eef7ec01c46e003a9296c8645 £575, not a bad price either seeing as I selected most of the options! Love the idea of Hot fill coming back too.
