This post is mainly aimed at people in the UK. Has anyone noticed that items are not clean from coming out the dishwasher? E.g. i took some plates out and they look just as dirty as they went in. Salt and rinse aid settings are fine. I stopped using the tablets as wasn't impressed so switched...

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...

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...

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