Turkish garbage.

In the UK, Germany and most of Europe (if not all of Europe), Formil powders and liquids are made by Dalli Werke (Win Cosmetic). Powders - in Germany (Stolberg plant), Austria (Warth plant) and now in Romania (Timișoara plant, acquired from P&G); liquids - in the Netherlands (Hoensbroek plant)...

Yes, it does.

Microwave one dose of the thickened softener for 5 - 10 seconds - it will be thin and usable. Use immediately because it will thicken again once it cools.

"What exactly does that refer to? What could be a contaminant?" Usually sodium carbonate.

"One other thing, since pure sodium percarbonate will break down into sodium carbonate in the wash, would it be less than lets say oxyclean with its addition of 50% or more added washing soda?" Yes, of course it would be less. I wonder how much percarbonate do you use.

mamapinky, I don't know the ingredients of OxiClean. I can't find ingredients list. Similar cheap European products contain sodium carbonate, sodium percarbonate, silicate and non-ionic surfactant. Such products have some positive effects in stain removal mainly because they increase the pH of...

"So once sodium percarbonate is added to water, you can't stop it from changing to sodium carbonate and H2O2. Do I have that right?" Yes, you can't stop the decomposition. That's why you need to keep it in dry place. * * * Color safe bleach... Cold water oxygen bleach... Just trade slogans...

"Yet now I'm learning pure sodium percarbonate won't even activate so it would be worthless." No, I didn't said that. I said that in contact with water it releases hydrogen peroxide which is not effective bleach. That's why good detergents contain activator. The activator transforms hydrogen...

Well, now you have Persil pearls and it's great bleaching system. Stain removing powders and packs from Tide are formulated virtually without compromise. Why pure percarbonate? There is no point. They sell it for laboratories not to use it in your washing machine.

Which part you don't understand, mamapinky? Sodium percarbonate is sodium carbonate+hydrogen peroxide in one. Two molecules sodium carbonate and three molecules hydrogen peroxide are bond together. In contact with water it ALWAYS decompose to sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide.

I don't understand why are you adding sodium percarbonate to your wash. What is the purpose? Why don't you buy good stain remover with activated bleach system. Tide has great products with perfect ratio between persalt and activator. You will be pleased with the results.

As I said, sodium percarbonate breaks down to two molecules of sodium carbonate and three molecules of hydrogen peroxide. Pure or not pure, this is the end result. Pure means it's free from contaminations. I also explained why it's a waste of money - hydrogen peroxide is weak and ineffective...

maylingsmom, When you buy sodium percarbonate, it is only this chemical compound, no activator. Pure means it's free from contaminations (usually sodium carbonate). When companies make powder detergents with oxygen bleach and products for bleaching and stain removal (like OxyClean) they usually...

Sodium percarbonate - regardless of its purity - always breaks down to two molecules of sodium carbonate and three molecules of hydrogen peroxide. However, hydrogen peroxide is ineffective and weak bleaching agent. You'd better use special product in which activator is added. When hydrogen...

Ariel pods and UK Persil Dual Action Capsules don't contain bleaching agents. You can check the ingredients on the corresponding site. In February 2015 Henkel introduced new Persil power-mix caps with oxygen bleach in the powder compartment. Great product. The first capsules I really like.

Optical brighteners don't fade the colours, they make them brighter. Plus, it's just optical and temporary effect until you wash the garment with detergent without brighteners.

Cheap private label brands usually contain high amount of zeolites which are not good for coloured clothes, because they are not soluble and cause high friction and wear of the fabrics. Cellulase can reduce the negative effects from the zeolites, but it's pretty expensive enzyme and many...

Well, what do you expect from dictatorship?
