mystery detergent

[newwave1]

I'm just at my parents and I stuck a load in for my mum.

While she was at the family villa she bought some gel over there and for some odd reason bought asda gel here which she never does. The bottles are identical and I'm assuming came from the same place!

Anyone know who makes asda detergent for them?

Asda Colour Gel

Could it possibly be made by Dalli the makers of Aldi detergents. Oh the iron on the photo can't really see much of it, but could it be a Blue neon display Russell Hobbs Slipstream because it's the best performing iron i've ever owned.

Hmm that Dalli rings a bell, It says something like that on the front of the spanish bottle. I'll check that out tomorrow.

The iron is a Tefal! I need a new iron myself amongst a few other things when I move this weekend! lol.

Diva

My god you have just bought a Philips diva dry iron. I thought the diva had been discontinued by Philips quite some time back. Would love to know where you have purchased that from.

 

[ariston_mad]

Diva

[ariston_mad]

Diva

Well we can't get hold of it anymore from where i work at. I just dont understand why you would want to buy a dry iron. It would drive me absolutley crazy using a dry iron. Thank god i dont do much ironing.

I love ironing, i had enough with descailing my last steam iron, so i got the diva, it is better for me as the iron i had after i dropped the azur was a bosch sensixx and to be totally honest it was a nightmare!
It oversteamed once and gave me an electric shock, that was the last straw so in january i bought the diva and i find it glides through bedding and shirts effortlessley
Its really what type of iron you perfer really.

Diva

Well i would love to have the Diva back on display in our shop because it actually was quite a good selling dry iron but i have come across a Diva replica not a well known make but it looks just the same it's now called an Igenix dry iron.

It's made by Persan in Spain

Persan are a fairly large Spanish household product manufactuer.
They have a private label range and also their own house brands, which are mostly only available in Spain.

I think their own brand for that gel detergent is Flota.

Check the website, and you'll see the same bottles.

They also make stuff for major supermarket chains like Carrefour, Tesco etc.. and compete with the likes of McBride.

Thanks mrs, you are indeed correct!

I assume they make it for Asda too then?

Darren

 

[MrX]

We don't have ASDA in the Republic of Ireland so I am not sure.

However, I know Persan make stuff for Tesco UK and Ireland and for some of the supermarket chains here too (Dunnes, SuperValu etc) and they compete head to head with McBride.

Their detergents are pretty good from what I know of them.

As far as I know, they're the manufactuer of Tesco's mainstream laundry powders at the moment.

I was gonna say my Mums on her last few washes and it's pretty good. Though a little sudsy but not terribly. It soon clears in the rinses.

I may be tempted to try it for £3 a bottle.

Tesco Dishwasher Tablets

Remember the Tesco "5-in-1" tablets, made in Luxembourg, looked similar to Henkel's "Glist" (Somat) design of tablet?

Well, they appear to be no more. They have been superseded by "All-in-1" from Nipa-GMBH of Germany. They also make the new version of Tesco's rinse aid and "Value" tablets.

The new "All-in-1" tablets have an off-centre power-ball disk, so if you do break the tablet in half, one half has the disk, the other does not.

 

[MrX]

Tried those new Tesco All-in-One tablets, and they work very well.

The only problem was that loads of the packs were open on the shelf as when they're picked up, you can quite easily open the perferations at the top of the pack.

But, they produced very good results!
