New Persil launch "once in a decade break throuh"

[liamy1]

Thanks for that, I had no idea it was on the market too.

Me neither, I have seen that Daz Ultra White (but only Ocado are carrying it at present).

I just don't get it, Ariel and Persil have gradually been doing away with "colour care" detergents in POWDER format (to the point that only one box size is available (22/23 wash respectively - no 10 or 40/45 wash). This could be argued is because they want to push people to pods.

Now Daz want to come along and make a 2 powder format detergent.

If they're going to do that, instead of having a "whites&colours" and then an "ultra whites". Why don't they just have Daz "regular" and Daz "colour".

Mind, that has been done before, does anybody know how long Daz colour was around for last time?

Sorry,

*To clarify. I have seen that Daz UW, but thought it was old stock. As the whole point of the test campaign on SuperSavvyMe was that consumers would need one product only.

(Yes there is a compromise, but the average Joe wouldn't be any wiser - I bet nearly all of the 6000 testers don't know there is no bleach in it, heck they probably don't know detergent had Bleach in it at all).

Manufacturers aren't that forthcoming with the workings of a detergent, and to be honest, as long as you buy their brand, they really don't care.

liamy1 - You can now get Ariel Colour powder in 40 wash boxes. It seems to be one of a few new larger Ariel product sizes at Asda (along with 60 wash bottles of Colour liquid and 55 wash tubs of pods) but I guess it may turn up elsewhere in time too.

Spoodles...

Thanks for that, I was getting a bit fed up at the reducing colour powder sizes - as I always like the buy the bigger/biggest packs when buying.

As a Costco member (and Makro selling online member free), I use to get the 120-130 wash boxes, but they're just simply too big to store (and I got bored WAY before it was used up).

Persil Powergems.. reduced price!

I was in Asda today and the 30 wash pack of powergems is reduced from £11.00 what I paid last week to £8.00. Personally, I wouldn't have them if they were giving them away..i can see them being a Which don't buy!
Big box Persil bio for me..no more gimmicks...well, at least till a new one comes along..lol

They were on sale for €6.00 in my local SuperValu (major irish chain, nothing to do with the US company of a similar name).

I picked up a pack out of curiosity and so far, not impressed. The crystals stuck to the door glass on my Miele W1, despite plenty of splashing and recirculation and deep water levels!
I would think this could be significantly worse on machines that aren't as sloshy with water!

The wash results seemed OK. Nothing unexpectedly bad or good.

Don't think I'll be buying them again though.

I saw the Powergems on promotion today at my local Sainsbury's took one (the bio) and went on getting a few other things and then I saw the amount of washes on the bottle and I decided to put it back.. I might end up trying it.. Who knows!

I bought a small pack of the Bio ones from Waitrose as they were on offer (£3.00 for 11 wash pack and used them today on a whites wash which included one of my best white tee shirts which has a lily pollen stain on. It failed to remove it although I don't think I helped because I tried to brush the pollen off and I think the oils on my skin may have made the pollen stick to the fibres like s**t to a blanket!

"£3.00 for 11 wash pack "

You've been robbed!

I'm sure they were £2.50 in an Asda store near me. I did pick them up, and I was tempted - but I remembered the criticisms of average cleaning and getting stuck to the door glass and door seal - so I put them back.
