Persil small and mighty I stopped using Persil a few years ago when I kept finding greasy marks when ironing my grey shirts, when I changed detergent it stopped happening,I’ve been using the co op detergent for a few weeks now so I’m sticking with it for now

I like the detergent from the Co-Op store (UK) Cleans well and I like the fragrance, and a stain remover spray to pre treat and I like to use Comfort Intense fabric conditioner, I use Woolite liquid for delicate items Neil

I’ve got just two. A Dyson DC40 animal. Had it since 2016 And a Hoover PurePower upright, my mum gave it to me when I moved to Blackpool,I have it as a spare, bought in 2000 Neil

Hi I’ve found it a struggle to find colour powders in big box varieties for a while now,My favourite was Asda’s own brand, so instead I’ve been buying pods/caps while they’ve been on offer, at the moment I’ve got Ariel colour & style pods 38 wash pack, Persil Ultimate Power Caps in the colour...

Hi My washing is out at every opportunity, I don’t think you can beat jumping into bed after a shower with fresh line dried bed linen! Taking advantage of the good weather too at the moment so I’ve had a load out on the line today. Neil

I Still get all giddy when I see your 11500! If only I could find one!!! Neil

Economy wash When all machines used to have hot and cold fill, economy wash option meant that the cycle would fill at the start and wash without heating up to the programme temperature, Neil

Hi all I've just kept it simple, with the expense of moving house and paying off a holiday I thought I'd give ASDA powders a try, £4 each for the 45 wash packs,washes great, smells lovely and fresh and I've found the shout spray does well with stubborn stains,I always soak tea towels and dish...

Scratches My Bosch machine is coming up to 3 years old and I noticed a few weeks back there was a long scratch mark down the back of the drum. I check every time I hear anything clank against the glass too incase I've left a coin in a pocket, but it's always a zip or metal button I do try to...

Hi James The machine looks like new! Well done mate, looking forward to the videos!! Neil

Hi James I was lucky enough in my childhood to see a few of these machines in action. My mums friend and neighbour had a Creda( could be the model you're currently working on) I remember the black facia as I'm not 100% on actually how many models were produced. My Nan had the Electra 11500...

Hiya Mark What I probably should have added to that was I was just concerned incase the powder was designed differently for use in machines in Europe incase the water hardness was different to what we have in the UK! Sorry for the confusion lol Neil

Good evening all! I was out shopping at my local indoor market this afternoon,and there's a big household stall where I usually buy all my cleaning products, Today I spotted some refill bags of Ariel Mountain Spring and color powder,so I decided to purchase one! I've not opened it yet but just...
