Spotted Henkel Dixan in Tesco (Ireland) !!

Dixan

I bought a box over a month ago, and just opened it tonight.

I don't particularly care for the smell, which to my nose smells like a mixture of rose and hyacinth fragrance. I hate the smell of hyacinths.

I washed a cloth in the sink. It seemed to clean it and the sink just as well as any other powder. There seemed to be less residue left in the sink compared to P&G's Bold or Daz, so I checked the box ingredients...

...which as it turned out, made absolutely no mention of zeolite!

Has Henkel discarded zeolite from its formulations?

Or has it 'forgotten' to list it?

Zeolites

Sometimes listed as "Sasil" on Henkel products, which is their patent name for the stuff.

On the other hand zeolites have been on the radar list for potential ban by the EU. Something about being a hazzard to the environment or some such.

Personally do not like the stuff, Zeolites leave all sorts of residue on fabrics.

Sasil

That wasn't mentioned either. Maybe they've gone back to Ye Olde Washing Soda type of ingredients?

Also, according to the dosage instructions, one only has to use about 115ml for normal soil in soft water conditions.
