......which I am most certainly NOT! Question.....how do the all in one tablets actually work? How does the rinse aid component go into the final rinse (when the whole thing is flung in to the main wash water) and how does the salt `component' actually regenerate the water softener / protect...

specks I always assumed they were the enzymes, because our (UK) non bio powders tend to be pure white whereas bio ones have the varying flecks. Bold also has a kind of grey / yellow (dull) fleck which I always thought was the chalky "softener" component. My thoughts are probably assumed...

Launderess, One also lived in a fashionable part of North London for four years during the nineties, whilst in a live-in relationship with a Greek Cypriot. One had an AGA rather like Eddie, but (unlike Eddie) ONLY an AGA with no alternative. This was also in a lower ground floor kitchen...

I don't recognise it, Tom, but one of the UK guys on here is bound to know. Most stuff (washer....refridgeration) seemed to be on loan from Zanussi?

Thank you Hey there, excellent detective work! You sure know your Hotpoints! Yes it was deffo photo `1 of 2'. I think the other picture was a later model. I'm really sorry but I can't remember how long it held the top spin for. Maybe a couple of minutes? I hadn't planned on doing any more...

Janak Hello, Janak. Goodness, I had completely forgotten about those `YouTube' videos! I'm really sorry but I can't remember the model of Hotpoint. I bought a washer and dishwasher in the same colour and both were a complete shambles! The washer was so violent on spin that sparks flew off...

Thanks Liam. Have never been down the unstoppables route but am open to giving them a go alongside non fragranced (or no) liquid FS. I'll pick some up tomorrow when I go shopping. I hope that you enjoyed the new yellow Lenor (if you've done laundry yet today) as I personally think it's even...

In the UK (and other areas), our equivalent of `Dawn' is called Fairy. Standard Dawn is blue, whereas standard Fairy is green. Has anybody used both products? Do they perform similarly? I wonder if one of our `Fairy' variants has the same scent as blue Dawn. We do have a blue version of...

Launderess, lovely to hear from you. I do hope you're not getting too many nuisance calls (especially if on the slimline cordless telephone) for the Chinese takeaway, it being Friday evening! I too always sigh when they change the classics and wonder why they have to. When there is so much...

Hi Liam Sorry to have orchestrated a fabric conditioner shopping trip!! I often end up donating stuff to good causes as I just end up with way too much....... I'm going back a bit further than you when I had April Downy, and our friends across the pond have said that has changed recently too...

Apologies, the title of the thread should have a question mark at the end since I am debating rather than stating a point.

Hello everybody. Here in the UK, Lenor fabric conditioner has had a packaging redesign lately. It now shares a logo with USA Downy. See pictures below. I personally like the new design. I bought a bottle of `Summer Breeze' and was very surprised that the scent has changed too. This has been...

Hi Hoovermatic Hope you are well. I have not seen `Vizir' with that Tide / Daz style logo before. It was (is?) sold in France for years as purely a liquid brand I think. I'm pretty sure a bottle of `Vizir' appears in the film `Amelie'. Vizir in French means (sun) viser; which has always...

I am quite interested by those Henkel pods which appear to be genuine combinations of liquid and powder. The issue (as always with pre-measured stuff) is that if you do need to wash anything less than a dirty 5kg the darned things will over foam, causing issues for the machine and the washing...

Mikey, it's not necessarily a fault that the washer `doesn't quite distribute'. I remember these machines were often a bit unpredictable in this regard. A 1300 Ecologic I used to use used to distribute at `tumble' speed as it drained, then pause. The Timer would advance and then it would pick up...

Thanks Ben. As you say, the original Tide is currently out of stock but I'll keep checking back. I live near London and am half tempted to pay the store a visit next time I'm there, as it's in a lovely part of town (though I'm not quite in the correct tax bracket to frequent regularly) ;-) I'll...

Fabric softener I don't really like the fragrance of fabric softener either, but I don't understand how some folk can get away without using it? To me, the static build up if it's not used in the dryer is unbearable. I have even been known to give small children and animals discharge shocks -...

Tide online Hello Liberator de luxe I would be interested in making some purchases from this store, would you be kind enough to post a link to it please? Thank you Nick

Hey Darren, thanks buddy. Sold the Bosch Classixx - must be two or three years ago now? It was about 4 or 5 years old, sold it in a very good condition for a good price despite having been really, really well used (young kids - you know the score) That was a great machine. It went because...

Lovely machine Chris Very smart looking. Really impressive that the basic Miele now comes with the honeycomb drum and a good spin speed. Really like the slanting fascia, in common with previous higher end machines. I'm so pleased you like it. Thanks for giving such detail about the...
