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

Vanish ( usually ) Victorious!

Advantages: reasonably priced . effective in removing fresh stains. fresh smell after using
Disadvantages: less effective with older stains

...my “cleaning” cupboard ~~~The VANISH RANGE~~~ Hailing from the vast Reckitt Benckiser empire, the stable of such varied brands as Veet, Gavison, Harpic, Airwick, Calgon, Finish, Cillit Bang and Dettol, this brand has impeccable pedigree: that is if you admire such breeding as issues from multinational conglomerates! I checked out its environmental credentials, as I like to do with cleaning products, not because I am a born again environmentalist ...
...closely at ethical considerations and Vanish do produce a great range of products for laundry and upholstery as well as carpets. I already used their Vanish Oxi Action Fabric Stain Remover as necessary in the wash with varied but quite impressive results. In fact I never even bothered to check out such information when the first of a chapter of accidents befell my highly prized, new carpet. I just rushed out and grabbed the aerosol can and its chemical ...

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 Vanish Stain Remover

Ariel washing powder is disgusting

Advantages: Keeps me away
Disadvantages: Repulsive odour, makes me choke

Ariel STINKS! It makes me feel sick even walking near someone who has used it, or even on a letter sent through the post. I can smell it walking past the sewage works above the smell of faeces. It CAN'T be right. What is in this stuff? Toxicologists say that some synthetic perfumes and aromatic compounds can attach to the DNA of the mitochondria in the cells, and could be responsible for illnesses such as chronic fatigue syndrome. How can people ...
...people who actually like the smell of Ariel and other highly synthetic washing powders that they can't smell all the chemicals. It's not just me, lots of people can't stand it. I have given people packets of Ecover washing powder with a neutral smell just to stop them using Ariel. ...
