How can I make towels soft and fluffy? My towels currently feel like sandpaper and feels like your stripping your skin off. I wash them at 60C with bio bleaching agent powder currently using Tesco and spin at 1200. I line dry where possible otherwise airer when heating or log burner on in Autumn...

@ iej Do you personally prefer mains voltage lights to low voltage?

@iej Look out on Ebay although the prices are alot. I reckon you would pay up to £200 or more for the Pifco Cindarella carriage lights. Modern fairy lights are spaced at 5 to 10 cm apart so you do need a lot for a 6ft tree which is what i have. I bought some Premier led lights today but took...

Do you find it makes much difference between own brand quality say for example Homebase versus Noma UK or Premier? I have noticed a lot of places do not stock Noma lights anymore in my area but mainly own brand versions. I can get a 360 Premier set for £26.99 which is good value whereas for...

Regarding brands is there really any difference say between Noma or Premier and Homebase or B & Q led lighting? They all look the same cable and are all made in China whatever make you buy.

I swapped to led fairy lights ready for this Christmas because I couldn't get the spare bulbs for my Noma set. Do you find there is much difference in filament and led warm white tones? From a distance I personally can't tell any difference. Here in the UK you will be hard pressed to find...

@washerguy02 The Indesit/Hotpoint tumble dryers are made in the UK now so are these ones safe from the product recall for fire safety? I agree the B rated is pretty good for a tumble dryer.

@optima Your dryer looks very much similar to the 3KG compact dryer with reverse action in the Argos catalogue. Do you roughly know how much it costs you to run yours and what the energy efficiency is? The one in the Argos catalogue is C rated. As mentioned in previous posts i only plan on using...

What about this dryer? 3 KG compact dryer. Any good? If not then i will go for the B rated White Knight one direct from White Knight themselves. Thanks for all the recommendations.

What about the White Knight compact dryer? Im only after a dryer for towels and sheets, socks and underwear for when i dont have heat on or cant kine dry. September far too early and not cold enough to have log burner or central heating so clothes drying is difficult this time of year. Both...

Can anyone recommend an affordable energy efficient vented tumble dryer? Price range up to £280. Thanks

I've been using Seventh Generation Eucalyptus and lavender and will stick to that now my local Tesco stock it. I use it for coloured clothing and find it gets stains out well. I like the fact it leaves no scent once dry. Woollen clothing I use Astonish delicate wash.

The perfume in Sainsbury's Bio powder reminds me of the old Ariel Ultra of the 90s. No point in buying the over expensive Ariel anymore when this one seems to clean just as good.

Just finished using this detergent made for Sainsbury's and found it to be generally good for cleaning. Personally couldn't tell the difference between the more expensive brands. Has anyone else tried it and found it good?

Just wondered if anyone had tried this laundry detergent and the Tesco dishwasher tablets? I've tried the washing liquid and find it washes well on everyday items as don't get that dirty. Haven't tried the dishwasher tablets yet though.

Just wondered anyone tried or belong to the Outdoor Interest group Outdoorlads in the UK? Apologies if this is off topic or wrong section.

Aquacycle, Got some Acdo from my Home Bargains store!! Yet to try it but it smells lovely.

I got two boxes of Acdo powder but yet to try it. It smells very nice though in the box.

Where did you buy the Acdo powder from Spiralcleam?

Where do you buy Acdo washing powder from? I have tried ordering from their useless website but can't get to the payment stage.
