Clean Rinsing Detergents

[hoover1100]

Jammed my logic full of thick towels and kitchen linens this morning, 175ml of Persil bio powder (in soft water) clear final rinse and barely a hint of detergent scent left!

All drying out on the line in the sun

Only time I've experienced poor rinsing lately is when my Mother has a habit of cramming her Miele full of heavy bath sheets with 3 ariel tablets and 2 heaped (over the top of the scoop, not the line halfway up you're meant to fill it to!) scoops of ariel stain remover powder without pressing water plus!

Do you find clothes dry well on those rotary airers? I Have got one but never use it. Instead use a line which doesn't take as long.

Clean Rinsing

My definition of clean rinsing!

 

[liberatordeluxe]

Am hoping I have finally found a low suds Ariel liquid and will stick with it. Leaves no residue and clothes feel soft, just hope they don't discontinue it.

175ml of Persil bio powder and a large load of thick heavy towels and cleaning rags and the like.

This is at the end of the final rinse.

I will never understand the obssession with clean rinsing. Surely the rinses SHOULD have residue and suds in them as this would be a sign that the machine was getting it out of the clothes? Especially on the first rinse!

The final rinse, when using fabric softener, will always be sudsless as the fabric softener counter-acts this and brings the suds down. Someone more scientifically minded than myself could probably explain how and why this happens.

 

[liberatordeluxe]

With a water level that high Matt I would expect impeccable rinsing! Looks like you have a good machine. Does it always rinse that high? Quite high for modern ones.

 

[liberatordeluxe]

I don't use fabric conditioner never have and never will. Its a waste of money and just coating clothes in grease basically. Clothes are not hard despite living in medium/hard water area.

 

[liberatordeluxe]

An obsession to you maybe NOT to me. You obviously don't have sensitive skin!

 

[aquacycle]

Either that or your machine isn't getting ANY detergent out of your clothes.

 

[liberatordeluxe]

Nope your wrong. It gets detergent out fine since the grey hose been sorted and stopped using the gels!

 

[aquacycle]

Evidentally not if all your rinses are that clear. Any decent rinsing machine will still have residue in the rinse water. It's a sign of detergent actually being rinse OUT of the fabrics and into the water. Especially on the first rinse and, to a lesser extent, the second.

 

[liberatordeluxe]

Im not itching so it MUST be working ok.

 

[aquacycle]

well maybe your skin isn't as sensitive as you thought, then?

 

[liberatordeluxe]

Well it certainly isn't sensitive to Ariel liquid the new one or Persil powders. I think when the residue wasn't rinsed out left my clothes hard and crisp and when that rubs against your skin can become inflamed but touch wood seems to be solved now. The gels were too high sudsing I found so I don't use them anymore although it looks as if they may be sold off following the new liquid.

 

[aquarius1984]

Imnot so sure the gels are going - in all our local shops they have had the newlogo applied to the packaging.

Not a sign as I douby a manufacturer would pay to have labels re designed if they were going to drop them.

 

[aquacycle]

Well it certainly isn't sensitive to Ariel liquid the ne

I thought you were using Almat, since you e-mailed me and told me how good it was?

 

[liberatordeluxe]

Oh right not seen that down here yet.

 

[aquarius1984]

I thought he said Almat was a load of old hooey? Cheap full of fillers, a machine rotter?

 

[liberatordeluxe]

I am using Almat mostly but using the Ariel liquid up on cool washes.
