Aquacycle yes it certainly does do that tick tick tick thing as all fingerwheel logics did.
Jon, yes I think that shape and size box may be a Tesco exclusive if you like as I too have not seen it elsewhere.
Paul, you know you want one!!!!! Sod the kitchen lol.
Mathew, it may be cleaner than Merloni but it aint cleaner than anything North Wales were producing until 2000.
Duck and Runs
The Indesit is repaired but have yet had the heart to remove the Hoover, could I be attached?
Indesit back on Sunday I think, dont want to wear it out.
Well Gary, if you want to swap that Bosch for this Ecologic il gladly swap. NOT lol, Ducks lower and runs faster pmpl.

Evidence that clears my good name!
I wont ever settle for nothing less than perfection,
Last night at my parents my Mum handed me 2 towels which I had mistakenly left there over 18 months ago which they had been using weekly.
Washed using a combination of 40 degrees and 60degrees with Ariel Excel Gel, Daz powder, Fairy 2X liquids, all those ones that claim 15/30degree magic.
When I brought them home and compared to the ones I had here that are used weekly and washed no lower than 95 degrees the results were disgusting,
See for yourself what washing whites lower than 95 degrees does.
LHS Boiled towel
RHS 40/60 degree towel

WOW
Aquarius1984, thats amazing at the results on your towels, i always wash towels at 60 but i occasionally do a boil wash at 90
thats good that ariel cleans well, i'd like to get some again but
i'm not convinced with the scent, never liked the piney citrusy scent.
if its more muted then i would buy it, but if its excellent at cleaning you have to have a compromise

Not to be picky but.....
As its only the Daz powder on that list that contains oxygen bleach thats probably got a lot to do with it as well. My white towels get 60 but always with a bleach containing powder(Miele Ultrawhite being the current favourite).
And before I get my head bitten off its just my opinion- when to live on your own and pay all your own electricity bill it kinda makes you think a bit more economy minded as well lol!

washing powders
gawd ere we go........I too use 60 degree for whites but i have always used Daz or any other powder that contains bleaching agents for this.
Though I remember back in the early 80s, Persil and Aerial both contained bleaching agents and they would fade colours, the only powder i knew of that did not contain bleaching agents then was Dreft automatic.
I used to study the ingrediants on powders because i was fed up with my colours fading, infact a rep for aerial in Sainsburys told me to turn my coloureds inside out and this would stop the fading.............load of old tosh that was.
Then the colour powders starting appearing here long after they were available in Germany for example
Right thats me pieces sed

white fabrics and Whiter than White?
Apparently the reason why white fabrics turn yellow is because they were never white in the first place, some fabrics are dyed white so you get a yellowy tinge if you wash them at high temperatures, which is why some fabrics have 40c labels on them
Hot water can strip the white dye out of the fabric leaving it a chewing gum white colour or a dingy white
if the stain says hot but the label says not
trust ariel to get it clean, even in cool water.
i could never boil wash whites at 90c, it seems a bit impractical and a strain on your electric bill, most whites will get white and clean enough on a 60 degree wash, or even a 40 degree wash
i have alot of white t-shirts with logos on and i could never boil wash them to get them whiter than white, a swish around the washer with a scoop of Daz or Ariel at 40c will do the trick.
i would have thought 60 on towels would be hot enough to get whites white enough

The towels were not thrown away, but the Value powder was after Mike caught site of it and promptly mocked me via text message.
Talk about social suicide, of all the places it had to be here.
I have tried it and the price reflects it performance so its not for me.
God know how many washes it will take to remove the build up so im not holding my breath nor expecting a full set of perfect towels for a while.
Again as I said above its not exactly a great advert for liquids promising perfect whites in cold water or powders that promise the same in warmer waters, proof enough to me that they dont work.
Anyway now Mike has had his fun I guess its back to the machine - I half expected a load of mockery from the Midlands lot LOL.
Paul took some arty shots I only just noticed on the camera so il post them.

...is that Ecover concentrate on top of the powder tub???
Glad to hear the towels are still with us! They did look mingin though, id use them to test out the boilwash cycles on all of your collection!
That does look like Ecover to me too - is it any good? Ive said to Mum about using it but it's quite expensive for a small box, so we tend to use something like Daz, or this week, Ariel. The Ecover washing up liquid is nice though.

but Rob
Would you swap two packets of your old powder for new Ariel, (yes I know the ad was for daz)but I think rob is a more descerning customer. lol
Racked with guilt I nigh on boiled up my towels in the AEG lavalux on the weekend, I must be mad lol.
Hope you enjoyed your time with the Hoover and the indesit is up and running again, at least now Paul can sleep easy knowing it's back safe in storage.
Thanks for some great photos and a fun thread, Mathew
