...flare up. I started using Bold a few years ago and stuck with it as it doesn't make me itch. This review is for Bold 2 in 1 powder, Ocean Clear.
The box:-
The box measures 8.25 inches by 6 inches. The Ocean Clear box is pale blue in colour. Rather than the usual detergent boxes where you have to tear out a square of the cardboard, this box has an aluminium easy-pour spout on the side of the box. To ensure the box hasn't been tampered with there ... ...I can still smell the Bold fresh smell upto ten days later when I take them out of the cupboard.
Most people have a dosing scoop as they used to give them away with every packet of powder. Now that they don't, most people guess. But Bold offer a free scoop by calling them on 0800 0852 592. They also suggest you call this number if you need any advice on laundry tips.
Temperature:-
Some detergents don't work too well at low temperatures. This one ...

Advantages: Two products in one. Disadvantages: None except for preferences
...We have been using Bold for years now, others have been tried but fail in one important category, this will become apparent as you read the opinion. As with all my opinions this is my view, the results are from the washing done here, the water comes from the tap I don’t condition it, I live in a fairly soft water area. I mention these few things as I know that the degree of hardness of the water plays an important part in the action of these ... ...The detergent used in Bold is biodegradable, after you have finished with it Bold slowly decomposes back into a natural substance.
Whatever they use to make Bold with it makes it different from other detergents as my wife, who has a very sensitive skin, finds that this is the only one that doesn’t bring her out in a rash. This is only the effect it has on Linda, I wouldn’t claim that others would not have an allergic reaction to it.

Advantages: It smells nice and cleans Disadvantages: Need a seperate conditioner
...I bought 2 in 1 Bold Hawaii Fresh.
This product is manufactured by Proctor and Gamble UK.
The 2 in 1 refers to the fact that it has fabric conditioner included in the powder.

This product comes in a yellow box with the Bold lettering in an orange/red colour with a finding Nemo promotion. Collect the tokens off the top of the box and send away for finding Nemo toys and towels. Yes yo do have to pay for them. (Typical).
The box weighs ... ...using 175ml. It cost 2.89 at my local Spar. So there I am separating my son's clothes from ours, so I can use the last of my usual powder on his clothes.
I put in the recomended amount of powder, which roughly translated is a cup and a half, as I have hard water in my area. Turned the dial to a 40 degree wash. Closed my newly fixed door and waited.
Did it clean?
Yes it did. My kids are muck magnets, they could get dirty in a hospital. I was impressed ...

Bold is the washing powder I used most frequently. Yes, I do try others. If there's new or different brands on the market, I'll try them. But, in the end, I always go running back to good old reliable Bold. Why? Because I love it!
And now, there's a different kind of Bold on sale which I've not tried before. It's '2 in 1 Bold Aqua'. And it's NEW with freshguard! The 2 in 1 is like the shampoo. It has a built in conditioner, which saves you spending ... ...pack about Freshguard:-
"New Bold has FreshGuard in its built-in conditioner. It actively works against everyday odours that can build up on your clothes and leaves them smelling 'just-washed' fresh throughout the day".
Well, whether it's the freshguard that keeps them smelling nice or not, it's true what it says. Your clothes are left smelling fresh and clean for a good while after being washed. I paid £2.60 something for a 1.1kg box. You know ...

Advantages: hmmmm....well it cleans Disadvantages: needs a seperate softner
Someone should tell Bold there falsly advertising. I usually buy the brand of wash powder thats on offer in the supermarkets and last week Somerfield happened to have Bold on offer so I chose that one, I agree that the the powder does smell nice while in the packet but when I had washed the clothes I found no difference through using Bold then using no softner at all. The clothes didn't even smell any fresher then normal so I put them on a rinse ...

Advantages: inexpensive, softening agent incl., easy iron additive reduces ironing time Disadvantages: biological so not suitable for sensitive skins
...then finally settled on trying Bold as I found it at Wilkinson's for the same price as most supermarket brands. I sawe it already had softener in it, so this was a plus, as it meant I could try it without the added expense of a softener. In went the wash. I decided to really put it through its paces by not pretreating the collars, and washing on a 40 degree wash. Out came the ground in grime. Now admittedly, I do still have to use a good stain remover ... ...lot more than just grease mixed in it and requires a really above average stain remover. I will write more opinions on THAT subject much later. I was very pleased with the results i had gotton on the workshirts, and I must say that the beach towels I had washed with the work clothes came out fairly soft. The scent was very long lasting as well, and the variety of scents available to choose from is very good.
All in all, I was very pleased with this ...

Advantages: cleans well and smells wonderful Disadvantages: smell seems to fade
I have used Bold for a number of years and have aways found the powder ok, however last year I decided to change to the tablets and change from the yellow box to the blue and now I have changed to the lilac box. I love the smell of lavender and use fresh lavender in my bedrooms (not near to the beds as it can cause headaches). Lavender relaxes and aids sleep. It can also relieve anxiety and low spirits. Camomile is renowned for helping to soothe ... ...giant name amongst household cleaners. Bold tablets are an easy and convenient way to wash your clothes as they are pre-measured, so they're ready to pop straight into the drawer of the machine.I am terrible for spilling powder on the floor so I find the tablets invaluable. All Bold products are biological.

Advantages: georgeous smell Disadvantages: want to wash everything again !!!
...picked up a box of Bold 2in1 apple blossom and lime zest whilst shopping the other day by mistake. Once home I realised this but had washing to do and carried on and used it.
I am so glad that I did. The clean fresh smell that came from the box when I opened it was breathtaking, absolutely georgeous.
As it states on the box that it is 2in1 (includes fabric softener), I didnt bother to add any of my usual conditioner.
Some 2in1's also need conditioner ... ...that none is needed, this powder did'nt.
There were some pretty hefty stains on some of the washing, my daughter had been in a footie match in the rain. Her kit was covered in grass stains and mud.
I only washed the load in a 40 degree wash and it came out perfect, not a stain in site smelling great.
I was so impressed withthe powder that I have used nothing else since.
I have also diluted half cup of powder in a bucket of hot water and washed ...

...there?
I have used Bold for years. I think by now, it's becoming obvious to many of you that I am a creature of habit. Once I find a product I like, I tend to stick to it. With the "old" Bold, the thing I loved the most was it's lovely fresh smell. Not too overpowering, but a pleasant outdoorsy sort of smell. I really used to notice it on my clean bedding. You've spent the day doing your housework, changing your bed. Then having a lovely relaxing ... ...bought my last box of Bold has this same "doggy" smell about it.
By now I'm late for work and don't have time to change my top. I'll just have to sort it out tonight.
When I arrive at work, I ask carry out a mini washing powder survey. One of my colleagues says that she has had the same problem since they put something called Freshguard in there, and has now switched to Ariel. This saddens me, as I really do not like change!
I go home stopping ...

I use Bold 2 in 1 most of the time when a new one comes on market I try it but always for some reason go back to Bold. I know what it like and always reliable brand. There are a few fragrances Ocean clear, Woodland rain,Summer Breeze,Hawaii fresh and the new fragrance Camomile and Lavender. The best one I think. Why spend money on seperate conditioners when you can buy a wash powder with in all ready in.
The wash powder comes in various ... ...I get the large box from work which costs around £15.00 which I find to be very good value for money. The box has details of approx amounts of powder for different washes. Light (87mls),normal (175mls) and for heavy soiled (350mls) also the temperatures for washes.
Its like any other wash powder but with blue grainy bits in which I would think it is maybe conditioner but not sure. The fragrances are very refreshing and smells nice. The laundry when ...

...when I run out.
Bold has a 'built in' softener which I can notice in the softness and lovely smell of the washing, this is great by itself, but I still add softener to each wash just for a bit of extra softness...... I know I'm fussy!
The one disadvantage I will say about bold is that while the standard box opens by an easy peel off strip, the larger size box is opened right across the top and it's difficult to open it without getting powder all ...

...child my mother always bought bold washing powder (the blue box) and I thought she was boring and stuck in the same old routine. When I grew up and had to do my own washing I think I tried every other brand you can think of. Some smelt nice but didint clean well, often you would notice items were not as white as they should be. I decided to get Bold despite the slightly higher price, probably due to the 2 in 1. I have to say I was extrememly impresssed. ... ...the laundry smelt lovely and fresh..even after drying. I can honestly say I would never go back to buying any other brand I swear by Bold. It comes in a range of fragrances - all great. Definatley worth paying an extra few pennies. I highly recommend giving Bold a go. ...

Advantages: Smells Great Disadvantages: Only available in small box
I have always used Bold two in one washing powder so when this new fragrance came on the market I tried it straight away to see if the new fragrance appealed to the senses as much as the others do.
The first thing I noticed was that in a major brand supermarket where I purchased the washing powder, the product was only available in small boxes. I asked the assistant if you could get a larger box but was told that Bold are only doing the smaller ... ...fragrance. If Bold bring this product in a larger family size box I would definately continue to use it for the smell alone as it is such a refreshing smell. My young daughter gets itchy skin with some washing powders but Bold is fine for her. I think that Lavender and Camomile would probably be good for people with sensitive skins as they have their own healing powers. I'm no doctor though so please dont take that as gospel. ...

Advantages: Nice smell Disadvantages: They change the ingrediants
BOLD washing powder I had used for years until I bought the FRESHGUARD version. I was quite happy with the cleaness and softness for years, until of late .
All of a sudden I came down with a rash and itching I thought of everything and could'nt work it out.
It would seem they have changed some of the contents and this has caused my itching.
So beware if any of you start having problems change your powder to the other type with out the freshguard.
