I have purchased some washing sheets today, as an alternative to powder or liquid. Has any one tried them on here? Are they any good? Must have ideas were selling them and the reviews seem promising Thoughts please

Browsing in Asda Clapham junction today, I came across the new Persil non bio aloe Vera liquid on rollback at £7.50 for a 54 wash bottle. It would have been rude not to buy one and it smells divine!

I was in Savers today and saw this Ariel laundry cleanser, similar to Dettols, added to the fabric condioner compartment.. i bought some but wondered if anyone has tried it...

Back in the 70's, i seem to recall a tv ad for a Creda washing machine that spun in one direction, stopped and spun in the other direction. Magnus Pike, as i recall was "demonstrating" it..or did i imagine it?

I visited some very old friends of ours yesterday,who, back in the day, had a Hotpoint Liberator washing machine (purple glass door) and matching dryer above. To my suprise, they STILL have the tumble dryer and use it weekly!!!

I can remember as a child, mum had a Thor washing machine with pedals and a round glass lid.This machine kept me entertained as when she pressed the pedal to empty, invariably the hose would jump out the sink and flood the floor. After, our Hotpoint twin tub was great fun watching..the dub dub...

Hi a link came up on my facebook page for senses bio liquid..only £6 for a 100 wash bottle,so thought I might give it a try. Has anyone tried it on here..also, the dishwasher tabs are very cheap, 6p each and they reckon are as good as the best! I have put an order in out of curiosity..i am...

Hi as some of you will know, I was a die hard persil kid "forever"...until the fiasco with the Persil powergems, when I decided there was life outside persil..I have now tried all the variants of Daz, ariel and surf powergems, which I actually really like!.. they clean well and dissolve, unlike...

I had an impulse buy today in Asda...a brand I have never bought before.. surf powergems. I purchased the persil equivalent when they came out and ended up throwing them away. No stain removal and clothes smelt musty rather than fresh. Anyway, these surf ones were on offer for £4 for a large 30...

Hi as some of you will know, I was a diehard persil boy..both powder and small and mighty "forever".. since the fiasco with powergems, however, I first tried Daz, in both formats-whites and whites and coloreds powder, and then went on to Ariel powder, which actually smells really nice now. I use...

After a lifetime of using Persil,after the powergems fiasco, I tried Daz and then Ariel and found both ARIEL and Ariel colour powders really good not that nasty stench of a few years ago! Asda sold a 40 wash box of Ariel colour, which I stocked up on, but they haven't had any for weeks...

Are lever bros on a self destruction course?? I spied today ..SURF POWERGEMS!!..The persil variety has turned into a farce with supermarkets virtually giving them away, so why on earth would they launch them under the surf brand...The darn things don't dissolve and certainly don't clean..i feel...

What a nightmare day!..Last week I had a repair (new gasket) on my washing machine (Miele 5964)and the guy said both my washing machine and dishwasher needed descaling as we have very hard water..i duly bought descaler from Miele and it arrived yesterday. Following instructions, I started both...

Some of you may remember a while back I posted about the door seal on my Miele leaking..well, the leak got worse so I thought I would bite the bullet and call Miele out. The girl on the phone said if its wear and tear on the seal, it would cost me £40 for the part and no labour as the machine...

ok folks..been washing all week in Daz ultra white...cleaning results excellent and rinses clear...but the smell is a bit Arielfied....going to go back to my big box Persil bio me thinks...if it ain't broke, don't fix it...

Ok folks...after the disaster with the Persil powergems, I have done something I have never done before...I am doing a first wash with Daz ultra white! I also have a box of the whites and colours, but as it doesn't have bleach, will save that for the colours when the Persil small and mighty runs...

just spotted a Hotpoint supermatic deluxe for sale in teak on ebay!..i had completley forgotten about this model..from the early 80's as i recall..it looks immaculate..wish it was nearer and i had the room for it!

I bought a box of Daz from Asda today for the first time ever!I have always used Persil but on a whim saw this on special..£5 for a 40 wash box. Lets hope its better than the powergems i got last time! Also, on offer was Lenor unstopables.£3 instead of £5..i got one...has anyone tried either of...

I have a Miele 5964 washer which is now over 5 years old.The rubber seal around the porthole is leaking slightly on the high level washes. Although the machine has a 10 year guarantee, I'm not sure this would be covered. I rang Miele, and they quoted approx. £160 to supply and fit a new one...

Hi... following having my neighbours in, a young couple, the girl, spotted my big box of Persil and commented "how retro..i didn't think anyone used powder anymore". well, it got me thinking...I posted this on facebook and asked my friends what they use...I had 64 replies...51 use powder...
