Current detergents

[nickuk]

I bought a box of the Tesco bio about a week ago against my better judgement but it's surpisingly good. For me, if someone asked `what does washing powder smell like'? Tesco bio would be the answer. It just smells like...err.... washing powder! A bit retro in a way?

It's surpisingly economical in use, rinses OK and is a great price. I gave it some gross stains the other day and it did no worse or better than Ariel or Persil. So far nothing not to like. Is it still McBride? If so they seem to have upped their game? As an aside I was surprised this summer to see that McBride also make store brand detergents for French supermarkets. I thought it was just a British thing.

Weirdly that Comfort intense blue you were discussing is one of a few I just can't abide. I don't know why. I want to like it but just can't!!

Tesco

Tesco Bio Tablets are made by Persan of Spain, and seem to clean okay.

I can't comment about the bio powder, because my local Tesco doesn't sell it any more! They're forever fiddling with their bloody displays - taking things off, never to be seen again.

Comfort

I can't stand it either, the smell is too strong and too 'female oriented' - I think.

Has Procter and Gamble reduced their pack sizes again? I'll swear the '10 wash' pack of Ariel was even smaller when I saw it the other day in Tesco, at 650g.
