Wow! I have just discovered this new wasing thing that is so easy to use any bloke could do it.
I am talking of course about Ariel Liquitabs.
I know you will think:
Typical Bloke, Idiot, fool etc, etc, but, this happens to be true:
My washing machine is possessed by unknown forces, no wait, it really is true.
I load it with washing, close the door, switch on the socket, press the buttons (there is loads of them and not really sure what I am doing) and switch on.
I have already placed the soap powder in the drawer compartment and it is ready to go but, the soap is not taken as the water goes down the other compartment! Next time I place soap powder in the other compartmnent and again the machine changes it's mind and pours water down the other compartment I was using before! See daft machine!
Okay, Okay, so I don't know how to use the thing! Not really my fault it did not come with bloke proof operating instructions.
These little things are great. You have two types:
One lot for white washes: good for towels, bed clothes and shirts for the concentration camp I have to attend (work) and also:
One lot for coloured washes: Just about everything else I suppose?
All you need to do with them is pop them into washing machine before you load it with your wash and then just twiddle with the buttons on the machine and that is it. After machine has finished throwing around your clothes, the liquitab has disolved completely and your clothes come out and they are brilliantly washed and smelling fresh, just like when mum washes your clothes!
Err, not that I get my mum to do my washing any more, sister sometimes does though, lol
So how much for these little parcels of wonder?
Well unfortunately they are pretty expensive! They usually set you back £2.99 for a box of 10 A box of 10 will of course last 10 washes as it is only 1 per wash. I did find these on offer at my local Tesco where I managed to buy them for £1.99 although they did not have the colour tabs.
They come in a handy little plastic box that is reusable for storing odds and ends. I use them for my candle wax beads and it gives them a nice faint scent too.
Each tab contains 50ml and they recommend that these are not used for wool or silk or for quickwash loads.
They also state that in hard water areas you might need to use 2 liquitabs per washing, this making them more expensive.
The nice people at Proctor & Gamble have provided an information line for any one who has any questions:

Ladies: You probably already heard of these!
Guys: I highly recommend these things!
***** Ratings *****
I have rated as Reasonable value for money as easy to use though expensive
I have stated suggested amount for how much to use as it does state you might need 2 liquitabs in gard water areas
I rated as Gentle on skin irritation as they are in pouches but, be careful not to squeeze or they could pop open and they contain a high amount of irritant as warned on packs
Long lasting effects I rated average as I don't think they clean better or worse than any other soap powder
Overall rating I gave a Good vote.
