I do regular loads on the A59' on my Hoover machine at 40c & sheets/towels at 60c on te same A59' wash. However if I have a dirtier load of either then I will use either the Coloureds or Synthetics programme dependent on what needs washing at the right temperature. I have also used Hoovers...

Electron1100 Sorry to resurrect the thread. Based on your recommendations electron1100, I bought a small box of Tesco Colour Powder, a 10 wash size for £1.50, but now concentrated & like Ariel advertises 20% more cleaning powder per gram. It smells gorgeous, nicer than Ariel or Persil Colour...

Hi, My parents currently have a Hoover DYN7164D washing machine that was a year old in August. Lately I have seen a yellowy/browny residue on the bottom of the door seal & it the machine looks nice it needs to be cleaned. My mum uses the 14' & 30' minute rapid washes at 30c & I use the A59' at...

What was the difference? It seems that late 90's/early 2000's Ariel & the Essential version were both on sale at the same time. I just don't see what the difference was. Thanks :)

Do you mean premier shop as in the corner shop ones? Might buy some, thanks :)

zanussi_lover, I've just read your post with the pictures & I remember those products so well from my childhood. I remember we all used to go to Makro & mum used Daz powder with Dyelock (later mealtime mess magnets) with Blue Lenor Regular. Those two scents together were gorgeous. I remember...

Are printed whites ok to go over the recommended temperature? I have some lovely bedding which is white but its got London based prints on it. I'll put a picture up to show the pattern. It recommends a 40c wash but would it be ok to go on a 60c? It's a cotton/polyester mix & I washed it at 40c...

Im guessing its worth it though?

Mum used to use nice smelling blue Lenor, now it smells sickly which is a shame :(

How much was the W1, lej?

Lej, I guess to people who might not know better, just use detergents that their parents used.

Oh really? I think it was only there for a short while I only saw it once.

I used to love going to Currys where they had a clear version of lg direct drive machines, they were so cool explaining how it worked.

As for gels. I used Ariel gel when it was first launched & it was quite good but recently I've noticed newer formulas of it recommend using it at 30c as opposed to 15c.

Hope it lasts you well, they're good machines, but to be honest I prefer the newer Hoover Dynamic we have.

Apparently it just started smoking when it was washing. Hopefully you should aeg, how old is yours?

I've never had a problem with pods doing this, a few times I have had clothes with undissolved pod on them but that was when I used a quick wash cycle.

Just heard from my sister who has had this machine for a year that it's died. It was at home for 9 years until we got a new Hoover machine. It cost about £450 back then from the local electrical store & has had minimal repairs for the amount of washes it has done. Brilliant machine.

Hi thanks for replies. Paul, I meant using actual 'quick wash' cycles such as the Hoover Rapid 30, 44 & the A59'. Persil Bio small & mighty works really well on the Rapid 30 wash, providing the stain isn't too heavily ingrained. Thanks :)

Supaspeed: it is Sleep Sensations, just renamed. I love the smell.
