Clean Rinsing Detergents

Nice video by the way and love your accent :-)

My accent? Urgh. Hate it. No matter what I say, I always sound common and/or stupid lol.

Fair point about the rinsing, Ben, I was just wondering if it was any particular experience that made you seek out a better rinsing detergent.

I've had no problems with Almat rinsing out. The colour tablets I'm using at the moment barely suds up at all during the main wash and as long as you dose the bio/non bio powder right, it rinses clearly by the second rinse.

Let us know how you get on :).

The OBA's were taken out of Bold gel a while ago, just before the Ariel stain remover pods were introduced if I remember correctly. A crafty ploy by P&G to get you to buy more products. And yes, I have to agree, Bold is not a great detergent any more.
 
The only Ariel liquid I have seen is not suitable for coloured clothes because it contains OBA's so I am told by an employee at Procter and Gamble.
 
@ PaulC my campaign against gels and oba's must have paid off then. I wrote to Procter and Gamble a year ago stating 'Could you not make a liquid without Optical Brighteners'. I personally believe OBAS should be banned as they have a negative impact on the environment and don't biodegrade in the sewer treatment plants. Things like phosphates should never of been banned in the first place whereas these OBAs should have. I have read this on The Ecologist web site so not made it up lol.
 
New Persil small & Mighty

New Persil small & Mighty
I Picked up a bottle in Asda tonight the number of wash's have increased from 54 to 60 but carry's a price tag of £13 per bottle. I love the new bottle and the wash ball is a trip down memory lane nice squashy ball like lever use to produce with the Persil micro liquid. the ball now has nodules on the bottom to pre-treat stains. perhaps Persil have done away with all this quick wash action nonsense too ??

They had the new Persil bottles in Waitrose. They look quite cool but have shrunk down to 15, 25, 40 or 60 washes but the prices have gone up - surprise! The 40 wash bottle costs almost the same as the old 54 wash bottle while the 60 wash size at £13 is replacing the old 85 wash bottles that cost £15. Waitrose had both old and new bottles out so you could marvel at the price hikes and shrinking sizes.

I noticed they have finally put a pouring spout in the neck of the bottles - about time!
 
I have found that using free and clear detergents, the ones with no scents and for people with allergic reactions to regular detergents, rinses out much better. Tide I guess changed their formula earlier this year and rashes started again. Changed over to the free and clear lines and everything rinses out no suds at all. Just holding the cap under the water inlet after putting in the detergent is so different. It takes about a 2 minute period to get the cap clean with regular detergent but maybe 10-15 seconds with the clean and clear. I don't think this will make a buildup in the machine either.

Yorkshire accent

Not too commonly heard here in the states, I think. To my Amercan ear it defintitely sounds "British" to me, a bit more clipped than southern English, with a bit of a Scottish lilt to it. That's the best I can manage in terms of description. Doesn't sound common or stupid to me. It's all good. Love the cameo by the cat.
 
Rinsing detergents

Hi,

My very first post :)

I feel your pain in the rinsing issue :)

I have a feeling, modern washers are causing the problem, the amount of water in new machines is forever being reduced. Also I did hear using warm water is better for rinsing, but again new machines don't have this option.

Regarding detergents.

In my opinion, Persil beats Ariel hands down in terms of clean rinsing (which is a shame as I like Ariel). Ariel is FAR too foamy even if I strip the amount of detergent right back (I am in soft water though).

I tend to find most P&G detergents are more foamy than Lever.

I come across this video, it shows similar to your picture about there being loads of suds in the machine even with no clothes.

Hope it may help.



Thanks

After reading full thread, can see that I said exact same as MrX :/ - He is spot on though, in soft water P&G detergents Ariel/Bold Daz and Fairy (that I know of) are just FAR too sudsy. Wonder why this is?

Looks like I'm never going to be able to change from Persil :( (I like buying all the different detergents) But I have one of those nice shiny Samsung Eco Bubble machines, so don't want to enhance the suds issue.
 
Difference between liquid and powder

Hi,

For the UK market.

The difference between liquid and powder detergents, is that liquid DOES NOT contain any bleach, whereas ALL powders (except colour care/gentle/green eco versions) DO contain bleach.

Optical brighteners are in non colour care liquids, but not in colour care liquids. However, for some reason, they're starting to remove optical brighteners from all liquids now.
 
As far as I'm aware the only liquid that has removed OBA's is Bold, Bold gel has not had OBA's for some time but the liquitabs do. Ariel and Daz liquids still have OBA's as do the new ariel pods (apart from the colour varient obviously)
