Detergent thread 2011

well.....

Asda (Wallmart) were selling 25 wash boxes of Ariel for £4.00 so I bought one, not used Ariel for a while and was amazed at how white my whites came out. The Co-op were selling 28 wash of Ariel Gel for £3.97 so bought some of that to, not fussed on the smell but again it cleans really well.

Persil Non Bio

I have mild excema, been recently diagnosed with it, so im using

Persil Non Bio Powder on whites

Non Bio small and mighty on Lights/Darks/Colours/Quick wash programmes.

Comfort Tropical/Sunshiney Days/Lenor Infusions Gold Orchid depending on the mood, for softener.

Do the softeners not irritate you excema? I can't use any of these "last for days" softeners, I don't have excema but those softeners irritate the hell out of my skin, I stick to Surcare softener now and a named brand detergent. The only detergent that gave me severe skin irritation was "ECOS", felt like my skin was on fire!

Fabric Conditioner - Excema

Its only mild, its like a scabbed dotty rash thats hot and itchy, and im not allergic to fabric softeners, well not Comfort or Lenor, as Lenor is Dermatalogically Tested, and Comfort well it has a mild scent after washing so it doesn't irritate me.

tend to buy persil non bio powder/s&m alot, I liked Persil Aloe Vera Liquigel but sadly you cant get it no more =[, it smelt really nice.

I like Ariel Non Bio powder, but you cant get it anywhere apart from Waitrose.

The last 2 or 3 boxes I've been using is Arm & Hammer with OxiClean. That with some STPP and I get great results, even from the clothes I wear to work on the car. But since I keep hearing so much praise about Sears Ultra Plus, I'm gonna get that next. Probably in the orange box since that seems to be the most used here. As far as softener, I got the Sun Blossom scent (I think that's the name of it) Downy with the yellow cap. The scent isn't too overpowering, I don't use the full recommended dosage since I do use Bounce dryer sheets also. The Bounce over-scents anything else anyway.

Oh...

What I would do to go back. I miss literally all of this! There were so many Powders out there, and all the fragrances were so much better.
