Hi all, I’ve not seen a detergent thread in a while so thought I’d start one. Here is my current stash. From left to right: Neutral scent free colour liquid ECOS magnolia and lily Ecoleaf Cotton Fresh Ecozone Bio liquid Super Croix liquid Le Chat tablets Rosalie’s zero suds HE powder...

Hi all, I’m currently on holiday in Mauritius visiting my partners family. I’ve noticed during my time here that the market is a pretty even split between front load and HE top load machines. This got me thinking about why people would choose one or the other. In the U.K, we have no choice...

Hi folks, I was recently asked to complete and online survey regarding some new technology from Persil. I’m not sure at what stage of development this is in, but it certainly looks like an interesting concept.

Hi Everyone, NickUK's post in the Lenor/Downy thread got me thinking that we've not had a detergent stash thread for a while, so thought I'd start one. Here is what's currently in our laundry room. We've been an eco household for over 2 years now, so they're all eco alternatives. The fun...

Hi folks, Some of you might have seen already but Ecover have launched Bio and colour liquids (instead of just non bio). I've been wanting to test this for a while but only just got the chance. I've been using the non bio to wash black jeans as it has high surfactant count but no OBA's, so it...

Hey folks, I've seen a few post recently regarding mold in front loaders and thought I'd offer some advice. As most of our US friends will know, whilst top loaders were the norm for many years in the US, they never really took off in the UK for a number of reasons. When washing machines were...

Hi folks, We're on holiday in Mauritius at the moment. Staying with my in laws. We had a trip to InterMart supermarket so I got some snaps of laundry detergents. Detergents are a fairly new thing here. Traditionally, people bought huge bars of laundry soap and grated it or cut chunks off to...

Good afternoon Campers! One of my colleagues in the sales department at work let me snoop around their Statista account earlier today and I managed to pull off some detergent info. Persil is still the biggest selling detergent brand in the UK, but this is split across it's bio and non-bio...

Hi folks, As part of some research for my eco cleaning blog, I was asked some questions about fabric softenrs. When looking into it, I found an ingredient called 2-BROMO-2-NITROPROPANE-1,3-DIOL". Now, I'm not a scientist and I had no idea what this is, so I had to do some research. Turns out...

Hi folks, Not everyones cup of tea, I realise, but since "going green" earlier this year and switching to sustainable, eco-friendly and less harmful cleaning products, I've decided to share my experience so far and my future trials with the world via an online blog. You can find my page on...

Hi all, I've recently switched at home from using my normal cleaning products to using eco cleaning products. I ordered a batch of stuff from biggreensmile.com and it was all reasonably priced. I've been a die hard anti-bacterial spray and bleach user for a long time, but after doing some...

Washing machines are about to roll off British production lines for the first time in almost a decade. Family business Ebac is to launch its new range of washing machines in the spring of 2015 and is currently testing 12 variations at its County Durham base. Boss Pamela Petty, who took over...

I don't think this has been posted here yet: Whirlpool has bought a controlling stake in white goods maker Indesit, the latest example of a prominent Italian industrial family selling up as Italy’s decade-long economic decline takes its toll. Whirlpool of the US beat offers from Turkish and...

This certainly looks interesting. I'm taking a trip over next weekend as it's very close to where I live. "A vintage-style shop selling 1940s laundry products has opened in Skipton, West Yorkshire. And director Linda Peake maintains her basic offerings can match, if not beat, the results...

A rather nifty idea for the partially sited, although I can't side I'd want dog salavia and dirty paws all over my clean laundry. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-25054516

Hi folks, I thought this might be an interesting area for discussion. I know a lot of us on here are members on both autowasher and vacuumland, but I am aware that there are a lot of members on here who aren't interested and don't collect vacuums. This got me thinking - what vacuum does...

Another one down the pan? http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/appliance-industry-news/88-baumatic/3754-baumatic-in-receivership.html

Hey folks, I was having a nosey at the new Zanussi range in Currys earlier today. It looks as though the range they're stocking are exclusives as only Currys have them in and all other retailers have the standard range (thankfully). The Currys range all come with something called "Aquafall"...
