Matt thanks for posting!

I love Duomatic but I use it in hot water. I also got hooked on OMOmatic when Nathan sent it to me.
Nathan I still look for Tide / bleach powder to send to you but they only sell the liquid version around here.

Matt is that Cold Power refill pack a powder or liquid??

Thanks Jon, Just let me know when you need another shipment

They're all x2 concentrated now, so you'll get twice the bang for your buck postage wise.

Ingemar, I'm glad you like the Drive, I've sent you a couple of messages via email, but I dont think you're getting them.

Cheers

Nathan

Jon...

....the Coldpower is a liquid refill...

None of our powders are available in refill packaging, only liquids.

Does Nathan's offer extend to anyone else?

I occasionally get a catalogue from "The Australian Products Company" in California, which markets this and that. Everything from boomerangs to Dispirin... They sell something called Napisan, which is apparently intended for those few people who still wash cloth diapers, and "Sard Wonder Soap." Are they of any use?

Supersuds

Napisan is widely used as an pre soaker and/or inwash booster....it is effectively an oxyaction bleach....and used by many many people not just for nappies, but also for whites etc...

I've never bought or used it, but there are various iterations of it from 'home brands' to the original - Napisan...

Sard wonder soap, on the other hand, is a prewash soap bar...and is very good...'wet the collar, wipe over with the bar, quick rub and in the wash'

Solvol is another great product...a fantastic 'gritty' soap for cleaning greasy and dirty 'yard' hands.

You should ask them to see if they can bring in some Cold Power, Drive, Omo etc.....

Thanks for the info. I may try some of them.

Australian Products said, in response to a question about Drive, Omo, etc.

Thanks for your email. We currently do not have plans to carry those brands, but we do keep a list of items customers want. I will add your request to that list and if we get enough call for them, we'll look into importing them!

Cheers!

Just to let people know....

....I have just bought a box of Bositos to try.

If it can shift the 'facial oils' from my mid blue pillow slips in a 60c wash with a small scoop (less than a TBLSN), it is a winner.....

We shall see this weekend.....

I just want to say that you can't beat Omo or Drive stains gone every time first time. I try others but always go back to them. But I do love my American Tide it's my first love. Supersuds would be happy to do swaps with you let me know.

Jon have you looked at KMart and Stop and Shop? They sell the smaller boxes of Original Scent Tide w/Bleach. CVS once in awhile has it as well and on sale too. Target I am finding carried the larger boxes of Tide w/Bleach but in the Clean Breeze scent. Shaws also carries Tide w/Bleach powder. I never have a problem finding the stuff. The Tide w/Bleach Advanced that they sell at Costco is hard to find. I went last week since I had a coupon for $2.50 off but they didnt have any. That was the one on Rt1 in Danvers.
I know for myself I would love some Drive from Down Under. When I saw the pics I would be in heaven there and even the Cold Power. I wish they sold that here in the States.
I also noticed that they had the tubes of super concentrate softener. I found something like that in Canada for Fleecy where one uses a gallon jug and when one runs out of the gallon you use that concentrate and then add water. Kinda neat and a good idea.

I wouldn't mind a shipment of Cold Power or Sunshine Fresh Fab. Anyone interested - I realize however that is somewhat of an imposition....

Napisan

As another posted stated, is an activated oxygen bleach for soaking, and santising cloth diapers. Many add it to wash loads as well for whitening and sanitising.

If one wants chlorine bleach for the nursery, there are Milton tablets.

 

[ronhic]

I've never...

...heard of Milton tablets being used in washing...Baby bottles etc, of course, but never laundry...

 

[ronhic]

Ok....

....I've used the Bosistos on the towels and it seems to have cleaned them nicely...

Currently have a load of whites in at 40c....short wash (1:08). Decided not to pretreat the collars at all just to see how good this stuff is....
