Help me, I'm dye-ing

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...like those colours . Dylon die is available from Wilkos, at least thats where I purchased mine . Theres an array of different colours - bright pinks and purples, muted greys and blues, and, of course, black. Using this is simple - stick in the washing machine, add salt (which fixes the dye) stick on a cycle, and its done! I've used this many times, and its always dyed my clothes well and evenly . It is worth noting thts its important not to try ...
...with wilkos rather than dylon) is that they don't keep the shelves well stocked, and occasionally I have to wait til they get dye in . But for a good cheap way to reinvent an old item of clothing ( a fiver a packet) Dylon is a wondeful product . ...

Review of Dylon machine dye

Make your clothes look new again!

Disadvantages: None

...where I stumbled across the JML Bobble Off. JML have their own television channel on the shopping network but often sell a lot of their products in national stores as well, such as Robert Dyas, Boots etc. Their products are always quite handy gadgets that you never think you need until you buy one and then you can’t imagine living without them. Most of their products are designed to help you with chores around the house, in the garden, in the kitchen ...
...the machine to your garments. JML say that this machine will help to clean away unsightly lints, bobbles and fuzzies with ease. The Bobble off is extremely easy to use. I find it’s best to put your jumper or garment on a flat surface so you can pull the fabric taut as this makes the process work better. You then switch on the Bobble Off so the blades rotate. You need to put two AA batteries in the product to make it work. Glide the Bobble off over ...

Watch your money Vanish

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Doesn't remove stains

...would be perfect. Vanish is a well known leading brand of stain removal products. I have tried many of their products over the years and can actually say that I have found them all to be rubbish and overpriced. Vanish Power Shot is sold in your average tin with a plastic lid. It is in a bright pink colour that is eyecatching. It contains 400ml of this stain remover. When you spray the aerosol it comes out like a spay and then foams up like a mousse. ...
...residue from carpet. 2. Shake can well and spray about 15cm from stained area. 3.Immediately blot/rub with a clean white absorbent cloth. Repeat steps 1-3 until stain has gone. (Taken off the tin) It also states on the tin "Vanish Powershot has a powerful formula which delivers unbeatable stain removal action. You can see it working immediately. It's rapid bubbling action drives deep into your carpet pile, loosening and lifting even the toughest ...

Review of Vanish Power Shot Stain Remover

whites are RECOVERED with ECOVER!!

Advantages: Great for removing stains on baby's bibs
Disadvantages: none

I found this product in my local supermarket on an end aisle with hand washing powders, not sure why its sold in this section because its used with your normal detergent in your washing machine. You add :- 1 table spoon for normal whites 2 table spoons for dirty whites 3 table spoons for heavily soiled whites Add it in your drawer in the washer with you normal detergent, even if you use liqui tabs/capsules or powder cubes in the drum you still ...
...for getting my babies bibs and tshirts clean because it actually removes chocolate and spaghetti which i have not been able to remove wihout the use of this laundry bleach. It also works well for coloured items because it does not fade the colours. My 4 children have sensitive skin and this product is very kind to their skin and does not cause any problems or irratations, so its very kind. I paid roughly £1.60 for a small box and it lasted 2 weeks ...

Review of Ecover Laundry Bleach

Soap Nuts for laundry

Advantages: cheap, extremely eco friendly
Disadvantages: The bag can get lost in the washing and end up all over the house nowhere near the machine!

...ecover, bio d etc and soap nuts come out on top by far. Spread the word. And I'm learning that you can use them for all sorts of cleaning from household to personal. I get mine from Spirit of Nature. There so simple and so effective - working well to remove most stains and more then the other eco brands that I've tried. For stubborn tomato stains I use sunshine to return white to white and for heavy grease and chocolate I use a little bit of washing ...
