Well around 6 months on and the F&P FL is going strong, still washing better(well I believe anyway), than the old LG TL, minimal linting, better stain removal, and less general wear and tear on the clothes. I was lucky recently and found a place which still has Spree detergent, nice light...

This has been puzzling me for a little while now, seeing as most of the detergents nowadays are formulated for both top loaders and front loaders, unlike previously, have all detergents now really just been changed to front load formula anyway?, and if this is the case, would they still be...

Hard to believe we've had the new F&P FL for almost a month already, and so far it has exceeded my expectations on every level. The clothing has really never looked cleaner, barely any trace of linting and virtually dry when removed from the drum. It got a real test last weekend when my...

Born 12.2.2005,(well arrived home and started your working life.), died last night, 1.12.2016, lived almost 11 years, probably not too bad a life span these days. So we are off shopping tomorrow and Sunday for a replacement. I have a few models in mind, 1. If we stay with top loader, fisher and...

We were doing our regular grocery shopping on Saturday at our local Coles supermarket and noticed 2 new toilet cleaning products on show, they were both called Bref and are manufactured by Henkel, we bought one to try when the current toilet cleaning block runs out and will see how it goes. Will...

Having a real problem with the LG Turbodrum recently, load after load of ordinary daily clothes and underwear are coming out with quite a bit of pilling and lint on them. Not sure what might be causing the problem as we separate all loads into their various batches, do not overdose on...

I clicked on the Colgate-Palmolive Australian website, just to see if Henkel who acquired C.P's Australian laundry division back in August last year. I clicked on the laundry detergents bar, got the laundry page up and discovered that only the Dynamo and Cold Power range along with 1 Fab variety...

I was just having a look at the Australian website for Whirlpool, and unless I have missed something, there are no washing machines on it in either front load or top load styles. Does anyone know if Whirlpool have dropped washers from their range of of household appliances.? I clicked on the...

I was looking at the Colgate/Palmolive Australian website last night just to have a look at Hurricane lemon liquid,(one of the few detergents I haven't used yet.),and noticed that as of August 31,Henkel have acquired the Australian laundry arm of Colgate-Palmolive. I wonder if they will change...

Tried yet another different detergent recently, Aldi's Trimat Advanced Formula Liquid when pouring I noticed it is a little thicker than liquid Surf and Fab but not as thick and gluggy like Dynamo and Cold Power. Washed a load of underwear in warm water with 1.25 capfuls and results were very...

Went back to have a look at Betta appliances on Sunday just to spend a bit of time before meeting friends for lunch, and lo and behold! a 10kg Teco (cheap Asian brand.),top loader with an actual agitator instead of the usual pulsator. It looked to be a reasonable machine, see through lid and the...

I was browsing around a local Betta appliances store today, and noticed a few twin tubs now available, there was the Haier 6kg,(my one.). 2 Teco models 6kg and a big 8kg and an 8kg Palsonic,the Teco and Palsonic models looked very similar, wouldn't be surprised if they are made by the same...

At the moment we have started using Earth Choice brand laundry liquid, it is one of these which is made of plant based cleaning agents and claims to be more environmentally cleaner than standard type detergents. Bough it just to try as in Choice magazine;s last tests on laundry detergents it...

There are a couple of new products in the market now, I noticed yesterday in the local Woolworths Surf powder with built in fabric softener,which would actually turn me off buying it as I am not a fan of fabric softener, so I hope they are not replacing the whole Surf range with this new formula...

How many of my fellow Aussies remember these 2 from the 1980;s I think, please let it be a lot of you otherwise I will know for sure that I am getting too old too quickly.

Well after finishing off the Woolworths Select Musk and Patchouli powder, we turned our attention to the Aldi brand detergents, being Almat liquid & Trimat Advanced powder. Report card as follows, Very good results when used in a warm everyday wash with both liquid and powder performing quite...

Last shopping time I bought a box of Woolworths Select Clean powder to give a try and found the results were not too bad for a generic brand. It is not as good as Omo,Cold Power Radiant etc, but I feel it actually does give a better clean than other mid range detergents. It comes in an unusual...

For sale on ebay for $15, a box of old Ajax powder with the famous blue beads of bleach!, had one of the best fragrances that I remember and was a powerful detergent as well. If I remember correctly Ajax and Drive at that particular time were the only powders which contained sodium perborate.

This certainly brings back some memories of when I used to be young. Who remembers Punch and who remembers Gwen Plumb. Mind you I wish I could find some memories of Phase 2 Torrent detergent, but I guess that one is just going to have to be a distant memory of mine.

Well I have been at it again, off to Chemist Warehouse and found the Ajax brand laundry liquid mentioned in my earlier posting about the usa Surf,and of course I just had to buy a bottle, just in case we were to run out of laundry detergent, mind you even though we still have some Dynamo liquid...
