Does anyone have recommendations of a quality low suds detergent available in the UK? I find them all so foamy and I am careful about dosing as I have soft water. Currently using Sainsburys Colour powder which I haven't used for years but now seems very sudsy. Persil Powergems were perfect for...

I have a Bosch WFF2000 and today, as I was unloading it, I noticed that right in the centre of the back of the drum, where the middle of the spider is, in two points, it looks like something is breaking in through the drum from the outside. At the moment there are no sharp edges but it won't...

Not all THAT rare but to find one in this condition certainly is! I hope this is scooped up by a collector. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HOOVER-HOOVERMATIC-TWIN-TUB-WASHING-MACHINE-MODEL-3174-/252434240306?hash=item3ac640d332:g:E~8AAOSw3YNXapac

Does anyone have any information/pictures/links/model numbers in regard these machines? I am looking for a particular model I remember from the mid to late 1990's. I don't hold out much hope of finding one but if I knew what I was looking for it would help! I remember what it looked like but...

Bought this today from my new local Polish supermarket - I think it is Tide. Anyone have any experiences of it? It was only £2.99 which I thought was a bit of a bargain.

I recently bought a box of Bold detergent as it was on a very special offer that was too good to miss. However, despite 3 deep rinses in my machine there is loads of suds left over and I find that I am having to run another rinse cycle (which on my machine is three deep rinses)to get rid of it...

This was recently bought on Ebay but I have no idea what it is other than being a twin tub. It was in my local area but missed out on it. Did someone on here buy it and if so, what is in that box...

My Which magazine arrived today and given the article in yesterdays news about washing at 30 degrees, I was interested in reading this article (most of which I have tried to include here): The 60°C wash setting on washing machines frequently doesn't actually reach 60 degrees, Which? testing has...

I have never seen one of these before! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hotpoint-Twin-6-Twin-Tub-Top-Loading-Washer-Dryer-1960s-/221269105372

This tiny article in June's Which? caught my eye............. 'As of December 2013, all washing machines must have a 20c wash cycle. But would you use it? How much money and energy would you actually save? And what happens to cleaning power? Our experts are investigating right now and we'll...

I have seen no advertising whatsoever for this product nor any mention of it on here so was wondering if anyone had tried them? I bought a pack from Sainsburys when they were first out and on offer at half price and am very impressed with them. Not sure they are worth paying the full price for...

Am hoping someone can offer some advice here! I very stupidly ran the pyrolytic cleaning cycle on my oven and failed to remove the stainless steel shelves. The oven is as clean as new but the oven shelves have changed colour. I tried to clean them using wire wool but it had no affect. Am...

I don't tend to be swayed by advertising, at least I try not to be but I guess we are all prone to fall for advertising spin at times. However, I read good reviews about Waitrose Essential Bio washing powder so decided to give it a try. Having used Waitrose 5 in 1 dishwasher tablets and been...

I have just become the owner of a Bosch WFF2000 and am trying to find a user guide, in English. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Interesting results - Tesco Value scoring higher than Finish Powerball All in One. I can endorse the result from the Waitrose Essential Tablets - they are so bad I threw them away and I would never normally do anything like that. At the risk of stating the obvious, the price is per...

Is there any way of stacking a dryer on top of an Aqualtis? Is there a special stacking kit or is it not possible at all? I am finally getting a new kitchen in the spring and am making a special spot for a washing machine that can facilitate either a US top loader, UK top loader, front load...

I have just discovered in the loft of my parents house the Bendix Rotary Iron that my Dad bought in the late 1970's when we all lived at home and Mum used to have 12 or more sheets and mountains of laundry each week. I thought it had long since been consigned to the skip but there is was...

Does anyone know in what part of the wash cycle bleach or additives are dispensed into the wash in UK machines? My last 3 h-axis machines have had a four compartment dispensers (pre/main/softener/bleach) but I have never been able to work out when the bleach is dispensed. I am assuming it is...
