Hi, guys! :) I am guessing a thread like this has appeared before, but in case it hasn’t, have any of you noticed how some household products – for example, bath oils, soaps, shampoo, etc. – smell almost identical to laundry products? I know that may sound like an obvious question, especially...

Happy birthday, Rob! :) I hope you have a great day! Best wishes, Carl :)

Hello, guys! :) I hope you’re all doing well. :) I’m sorry I’ve not been around much lately, but I have what I think is a reasonably interesting thing to say here. :) My Miele T7734 tumble dryer, purchased in late 2006, has never really dried particularly well since new, but it has become even...

Happy New Year, everyone! :) Here is the official BBC recording of the New Year fireworks display in Central London. This uses the BBC’s new iPlayer. :) The first clip you will see is of the BBC’s ident (graphics) for BBC One, which lasts just under 30 seconds. You will have to watch this, and...

I would just like to say thank you to everyone here for your support, friendship and fun over the past year or so. :) Particular thanks must go to my friends, who have now suffered terribly at the hands of me! ;) All that there is to say is thank you for the time you spend chatting to me, which...

I’ve been a member of AW.org for a year now! :-) I can’t believe it’s a year already! :-) I would simply like to say this: thank you to all of you. :-) I really do appreciate, every day, being friends with you all. :-) Like all of you here, I’ve had a fascination with anything...

Hi. :-) I know this is rather subjective and depends on many factors, but I am doing my usual (annual? hehe) reassessment of detergents! :-) This time, I am focussing on dishwasher detergents. Also, I know what I am asking will largely apply to the UK and the Republic of Ireland only, as well...

Hi. :-) I know this is a very long post, so please bear with me and perhaps read it over a day or so, and I know much of it is personal. Also, for those affected by bereavement or other incidences where loved one’s lives have been in peril, I do no wish to diminish or insult your experiences –...

Hi! :-) I know some members believe that detergent manufacturers get us to use too much detergent for each load, but what do others think? My main reason for asking is that I have this near loathing for suds (hehe :-)), but my Persil non-bio tablets, even though they are not necessarily the...

Hi, all! :-) Just one question, really: :-) In your experience, what are the best detergents, of any format, for rinsing? By that, I mean which has the least (or no!) foam/suds and clearest water left at the end of the rinse cycle (excluding the fabric conditioner’s slight foaminess)? Also, I...

Hi, guys. :-) I don’t personally like posting messages like this myself, and I know I posted a similar message a few weeks ago, but I am having some extra problems on top of those problems at the moment, and I just want to say that I may come across as somewhat quiet, irritable or upset. Please...

Hi. :-) Work Shirts ---------------------------------------------------------- My sister is a trainee police officer in the Metropolitan Police Service in London (which covers the whole of London except the square mile in the very centre). She wears work-issued cotton work shirts whose label...

Hi, guys. :-) I’ve been looking for Ariel Hygiene powder. I ordered some but was today given a refund because it is out of stock. I have looked on allsorts of UK websites to find it, but I can only find suppliers to schools, which I know from experience, and trying on here, do not supply to...

No <br I can’t <br LOL :- <br New TV adverts that UK members may have seen recently that suggest we all turn to 30 with Ariel. I saw one today – and it had some wuvverly polar bears on it! Awww! LOL ;- <br I wouldn’t mind necessarily turning to 30°C if I used a biological detergent, but I’m...

Hi, guys! :-) I thought I would seek your help with this. :-) We need a new steam iron. It doesn’t have to be anything really fancy – it just needs steam (LOL) and spray. It does not need to be a steam generator! :-) If Miele or Dualit made a stream iron, I’d probably have it! ;-) However, I...

Hi, everyone. :-) I don’t really like putting messages like this up, but I would just like to ask if people, especially my friends, could bear with me for the time being. I’ve been having some problems communicating due to my condition (neurological), at home and on the Internet, etc., and I am...

Hi, everyone! :-) My friends here already know I have not been able to post here since Christmas or so, but many others may not have known. I cannot think of a better way to put this, but I would like to say thank you to all of my friends here – you know who you all are. I will try to make it...

As title. :-) Does anyone remember UK Persil Power?! ;-) We used it, and it ate a few of my lovely white socks!. :-) This was when we had our Hotpoint Microtronic – bless him! hehe – but it did seem to clean well! LOL Well, Persil Power actually ate some of the clothes, too, so it took not just...

Hi, aquarius1984. :-) My name is Carl, and I am a Mieleolic and Hotpointolic. ;-) LOL I am also interested in Zanussi Jetsystems. Thank you for responding to my post on Persil. :-) I am trying to get hold of you, but you do not have an e-mail address on your profile page. :-) I asked Jon...

Hi, everyone. :-) I hope I have put this in the right place, but I thought I should say hello. :-) My name is Carl, and I am from the UK. I have a great interest in pre-Indesit Hotpoint appliances, particularly washing machines and especially the Microtronic washing machine we had, as well as...
