And so the great detergent debate goes on....
Hi Bryan, I hope you are well.
First, some bad news. UK Persil bio tabs (and colour tabs)are discontinued. They are replaced with gel tabs, which means that you get slightly fewer in a box and they cost you a little more ;-) They arem ok, they clean fine and they still rinse great. They are still phosphated. The scent is different, and strong. I quite like the scent but unfortunately little Luke came out in his usual detergent allergy rash, so I am am now confined to the non bio tabs which thankfully haven't changed HURRAH!
To all you guys Seamus, Kirk etc sad about the demise of the Sainsburys (Henkel) stuff, I'm so with you. A great feel to the product - the closest thing to Ariel Futur powder since that went, superb whitening, excellent economy, one of my fave scents was he bio megaperls - light, fresh, mostly blew away in the breeze. I kind of predicted this, simply because I didn't think they were marketed well enough and also because people just didn't know what they were missing.
I have no experience of bluing but it sounds fun, I don't know if we can get it here in the UK. We can use it in the form of DAZ detergent kinda.
Kirk, the Sainsburys perform tabs have the same scent as regular German Persil powder and Le Chat Perfect French powder. It's a lovely scent in the box and really light and fresh on the clothes. I think the Sainsbury tabs are a great product and they go in the drawer which I think is better than those damn silly nets. They dissolve fine. They are quite sudsy and the only gripe I have with all the Sainsbury / Henkel products is difficult rinsing in my wash conditions. I can't begin to imagine what you might like instead of the megaperls because they're quite unique aren't they
Jon what are Aquados capsules and where do I get them? They sound fun.
Cheers
Nick
