    End of detergent on offer?

    You may not see detergent on offer that often anymore. According to Marketing Week, P&G and Unilever (and Mondelez) are going to be pulling back from offering their products "on offer". Citing the reason that they believe the balance has tipped too far into the discount's favour. Going on to...

    Does anyone here?

    Make their own homemade laundry detergent? Was looking around the web, and came across this article, it basically says that you can't make your own homemade detergent. It goes on to say if you "strip" your clean laundry if you use own made, you'd be surprised (and disgusted) at what comes out...

    Tesco and Unilever Dispute

    Tesco has axed all 200 Unilever brands from it's stores, over a pricing dispute. Of course, Tesco is the UKs largest grocery chain, and Unilever owns the much beloved Persil, Surf and Comfort. And other well known stuff; Dove, PG Tips and Hellmans. I am sure it's only temporary, but do you...

    P&G Discontinues Powder Products in Latin America

    Came across this video on YT. It mentions that P&G discontinued production of powder detergents for Ariel and Ace. Hopefully, it will be many, many years (if ever) that this happens in the UK. With powder being our biggest seller, can't see it; not until the next generation or so anyway - as...

    Have you ever seen such a thing!!!

    This video came up as a suggestion on my YouTube (naturally :) ), and in it is a Top Loading Dryer - I didn't know these things existed, and when googling, can't get anything up on them. More shocked at that, than the fact that she seems surprised at the fact there is no scent on the laundry...

    What the @:!?

    I mean I love my detergents and whatnot, but this is taking it way, way too far. Mainly just in the first minute of the video. http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqNDspECj1Q

    And so it's happened

    A major fire has been caused by one the dryers that are part of the Hotpoint recall. Took 120 firefighters to put out, that's crazy. http://tgr.ph/ZJfy3V

    Do you trust Beko?

    A report below shows that the tragic death of a woman caused by her tumble dryer had also been to blame for at least 20 other fires from the same model of dryer. I don't know if it is just me, but any news stories like this and the appliance always seem to be a Beko (aside from the current...

    UK Washing powder shake up?

    Following on from my thread "colour care powder soon to be gone?" and the perceived changes to the powder format in the colour care category. I am wondering if we will see another change. As most will know/remember, in the early 90's, both P&G and Unilever launched "compact" powder detergents...

    Colour Care Powder - Soon to be gone?

    I don't know if I'm right, but I have a feeling that P&G and Unilever are going to be doing away with the Powder variants of their colour care detergents. Ariel have already discontinued colour care powder tablets. And across both Ariel and Persil, in supermarkets, there is now only one box...

    For anyone interested....

    Video from an Australian news show about OMO detergent (Persil in UK). Filmed at Port Sunlight in the UK. The amount of research for soap is staggering, right down to having Australian water in the Netherlands, to test how the soap works for the market it is to be sold. I found it...

    Another YouTube find

    For anyone interested, the secrets of the washing machine. The YT channel that this is on (RetroTv) has loads of videos relating to what we have now and where it all started. Some good videos to pass the time. Especially on a Sunday Afternoon ☺ http://https//youtu.be/baFaEvBywGc
