☼ Sold on Bold ☼

Advantages: * Fragrant*
Disadvantages: * Not very eco-friendly*

...in review at present is Bold 2in1 with the latest fragrance of Lavender and Camomile. I first saw this on a freebie website so I applied for a free sample which never arrived...buyer beware! Eventually given that I love fresh Lavender , curiosity got the better of me and I purchased a pack. ۞Price Tesco had two pack sizes. The larger of the two was priced at £4.64. It weighed 1.872kg and the price calculates at £2.48 per kg. The pack contained ...
...used and loved the other Bold fragrances, but as fresh lavender is a particular favourite of mine, I thought I would be onto a winner. Prior to starting this review, I started a 40* wash, put the heating on, and then draped the freshly washed french maid outfit and nurses uniform over the radiators. Cant hang them outside as the neighbour will pinch them and they are much too small for him. I wanted to experience the full fusion of the aroma. It ...

EASY IRONING WITH BOLD 2IN1 TABLETS

Advantages: Smells great and less creases for easy ironing!
Disadvantages: none that I can think of.

...neatly packaged pack of two Bold 2in1 tablets. I have been meaning to try these ever since I saw an advert for them on the TV. They claim to give you outstanding cleaning and built in ironing at no extra cost! and on the leaflet included in this box they also give you a website address www.bold2in1.com the leaflet starts off be saying that "Now there's a tablet that starts the ironing as soon as you start the wash" then continues by saying "Because ...
...to this Braun experts recommend Bold 2in1 as Braun are always looking for ways to make the ironing easier! (aren't we all though??). The best bit is the coupon attached to the letter which gives me £1 off these tablets or any other Bold 2in1 product, so that means the liquid or the big box powder, if I buy them before 31st December 2001. As I have a £1 voucher I will be buying them when my usual big box powder runs out, and if they are ever on special ...

Boldly Going...

Advantages: They work. They're convenient. Fresh clean smell.
Disadvantages: A bit on the expensive side.

...price!) to try out these Bold washing tablets. The moment of truth came yesterday when the cynic (ME!) proceeded to test them.... >>>Description<<< Ok, so for those that don’t know, (where have you been?) these tablets are washing powder in the form of little ‘bricks’, and there are 48 of them in each box. The Bold tablets come in two versions; the ‘Aqua’ which is in the aqua-blue box, and the ’Active Fresh’ in the green box (I purchased the ‘Aqua’ ...
...little bricks (three for heavily soiled items), into the drawer of your washing machine, and leave the machine to do the work. That’s it. There is no need to add any fabric conditioner as these little bricks are 2-in-1 (so says the bumph). The bumph also says that the bricks contain ‘Freshguard’ which works against everyday odours and maintains that fresh, clean smell throughout the day. >>>Packaging<<< The tablets are contained in a nice simple, ...

Review of Bold Washing Tablets

The Darker Side of Cleaning

Advantages: Smells nice
Disadvantages: See Text

...that everyone likes and trusts Bold washing tablets but I have a different tale to tell. Well, what can I say? The answer to this I’m afraid isn’t much that’s nice. But the point of having a site like Ciao is we get the all-round picture, the good and the bad, so here goes… ..I purchased a box of Bold Aqua 2 in 1 tablets (28 tablets in all – 14 washes minimum) as they were on special and I had heard good things about ...
...a try, I now wish I hadn’t bothered! The advertisements state they dissolve (burst) on impact to water, well if this is the case why did I find congealed washing powder in the drawer and in the drum of the washing machine after the wash cycle has finished? I thought at first that maybe its because I used them on a cold wash so I tried them on a hot wash and surprise surprise it made no difference what-so-ever. I consulted the instructions on ...

Review of Bold Washing Tablets

Mrs wishy washy

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: none

...Yesturday I came home with Bold washing tablets. They were 1.99 on offer at Safeways, so like I said before, I,m a sucker for a special offer and in the trolley they went, sometimes this has been my downfall. Today I was nicely surprised. Being the busy bee that I am, whenever I,m not at work I like to get on with the chores, so that they are done and I have plenty of time to play on my computer. Today it was washing day. I went round the house ...
...watery pattern on, with 2in1 Bold Aqua written in Orange on the front. There's a picture of the bottom of an iron on the side and some tablets next to where it says Bold. This product is recommended by Braun who make irons,so I presume it helps you to iron easier by not creasing the clothes to much. I personally hate ironing and will only do it in extreme cases, like parents evening, when I have to look nice or a business meeting. Anyway back ...

Review of Bold Washing Tablets

Changed my opinion on Washing Tablets

Advantages: Dissolve very easily, Lovely fresh smell
Disadvantages: Quite dear

...GET ONE FREE, for this Bold 2 in 1 Aqua Tablets, so I thought I’d give them a go and I bought them. On using them, I found that they dissolved very easily, unlike all the others I had tried, and they dissolved very quickly, as a matter of fact, as soon as the water hits them. After my wash, I was made to see they had washed my washing very thoroughly, and left a lovely fresh and pleasant smell on them, which lasted for quite a few days, actually ...
...as long as they are Bold 2 in 1 Aqua Tablets. The price of these vary from shop to shop, but on average, they sell at between £3 and £4 for a box of 28 (which is pretty dear) but they are worth the money, but also look out for special buy one get one free offers at Asda. ...

Review of Bold Washing Tablets

I'd buy it if it was green

Advantages: lovely fragrance
Disadvantages: not eco-friendly company

I received 2 tablets of Bold Aqua in a free sample from some freebie site or other (I lose track which one, I've visited so many lately!) and I was pleasantly surprised. I always used to get Bold springfresh powder, for the nice smell it gave my clothes, and for the efficient clean it provided. However, I became right-on about pollutants and company policy and started buying Ecover liquid (I'll write a review on this next). As the tablets came ...
...environment to test the product out. I always use less than the recommended amount of pretty much everything so only used one of the tablets in a 40-degree wash. It wasn't a bursting-full load (nor was it a half-load) and the tablet gave a really good clean. The clothing was soft when it came out of the machine, with no irritation to my skin (I get exzema easily from harsh products). There was no residue on my clothes (the tablet was placed in the ...

Bold 2 in 1 Liquitabs

Advantages: Great smelling clothes (&House!!)
Disadvantages: Bit pricey

...a money off voucher for Bold 2 in 1 Liquitabs and so we bought some. We chose Lavender and Chamomile and popped a load in the washing machine. You have to place one Liquitab in the back of the drum and then place the washing inside, set the programme and let the machine do it's job. The liquid is a mixture of detergent and fabric softener and is sealed inside a thin membrane which dissolves in water. It is very important to handle with dry hand ...
...sunlight. The outer container is plastic with a snap shut lid and has all the product information and instructions in colourful labels on the outside. Unfortunately as with most other Liquid Tabs products, they are not suitable for handwashing. I also, personally feel that no washing tablet or liquid pouch are value for money if you need to do half loads so it is better to have a backup powder or liquid for those emergency small washes. As we tend ...

Review of Bold Washing Tablets

To Boldly Use What I Haven't Used Before

Advantages: Easy to Use, Good Performance and Nice Perfume
Disadvantages: None so far

I have used Bold 2 in 1 Washing Powder for a couple of years now and have always been pleased with the results and the fact that I save money by not having to buy an individual fabric softener. Two weeks ago, halfway through my washing, I ran out of powder so sent hubby out to get some -wrong! He got the name right, bless him, but got tablets instead of powder. We had just arrived back from our hols and wanting to get rid of the washing as quickly ...
...as I hadn't the heart to send him back to the shop. I had never considered using tablets before as I always considered them too expensive and fiddly. What a surprise! They were easy to open out of their foil cover, that was a plus straight away, and there was no mess on my kitchen floor. (I always managed to tip some of the loose detergent over the side of the drawer). Now to see how they perform. I used one tablet for a quick wash and two for my ...

Review of Bold Washing Tablets

Bold and beautifully fresh

Advantages: Excellent Cleaning power, smells fresh
Disadvantages: None

...and all that I saw Bold Aqua Tablets on special offer in our local Kwik Save store the other day. New Bold Aqua 2 in 1 tablets - 28 tablets with 4 extra free for the value price £2.79p. When you take the washing out of the machine you can visualise yourself like the fella on the advert "smelling the fresh clothes - well his Y Fronts anyway - and the smell is very noticeable. Good value and excellent cleaning power. This tablet is not the one ...
...but in the drawer and I have always thought that if the tablet was in your machine it would wash better ( I suppose due to the fact that the tablet is hands on!!) but I was pleasantly surprised to see that this was better. Give it a try and comment on the opinion. ...

Review of Bold Washing Tablets

Take two at a time then have a cuppa.

Advantages: No need for separate conditioner
Disadvantages: cost

I have used Bold washing powder for ages, I find the cleaning power is great and the addition of not having to add conditioner even better. I have seen the Bold 2 in 1 wash tablets but it was not until recently that I decided to give them a go. Upon opening the box I was pleasantly surprised by the scent, such a clean fragrance, it’s hard to put into words, but mmmmmm probably sums it up. When you open the tablets which are wrapped in twos the smell ...
...that have been washed in Bold 2 in 1. For those of you who might suffer reactions to certain products here is a list of the ingredients as found on the box.. Enzymes, Brightening agent. Less than 5%; Polycarboxylates, Nanionic and cationic surfactants, Soap, Phosphonates. 5% to 15%; Anionic surfactants, Oxygen based bleaching agents, Zeolites. I find this a good all round product made by Proctor and Gamble, although it is not the cheapest in town ...

Review of Bold Washing Tablets

Bold and Beautiful

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

I have always used Bold Active fresh powder as I love the smell and it's very economical and with 5 kids cost is important. I was overjoyed when I saw the adverts for Bold Active fresh tablets. I immediately went a bought some - well once the shops had opened anyway! They cost £2.49 for 24 tablets which is cheaper than some of the brands. I started off using them according to instructions ie 2 per wash but then decided to experiment and strated putting ...

Review of Bold Washing Tablets

To BOLDly go...

Advantages: Clean smelling, simple and efficient!
Disadvantages: None that I can think of!

...the tablets rather then the Bold washing powder because it was on offer in my local supermarket and was decidedly cheaper than the powder on that day. Having just moved into my first flat, I'm counting all the pennies so every little really does help!!!! My mum used to go on and on about how brill they were etc etc (as mums do!) but I just used to think that it was just a rip off on the old powder! So I never bothered. But now, I'm converted! I ...
...chemicals in washing powders, and Bold is one of the only ones I can use without my skin flaring up at all, which is great. I can't tell you I have ever heard of half the chemicals they put in these things, and I'm not sure which ones Bold aren't using but it works for me!! It comes in different flavours (for lack of a more appropriate word!! you get the point though!) so depending what you want each week, you can have a different smelling wardrobe! ...

Review of Bold Washing Tablets

BOLD IS BEST.

Advantages: leave a great smell on you laundry
Disadvantages: more expensive than the powder

...for days and days. Bold 2in1 tablets come in two different scents,aquafresh and springfresh and after washing your clothes you get the wonderful scent of them.Even when ironing your laundry and when you've put your clothes away in the wardrobe you can still smell the tablets. All you do is just put your wash load in pop two bold tablets into your washer drawer start off your cycle and job done-lovely clean smelling laundry. With these tablets ...
...are called 2in1 because the powder and detergent are all rolled into one.This saves you money giving even more of an advantage to these brilliant tablets. The tablets also deal with all the daily stains my 2 year old son gets down his clothes leaving all his clothing free from stains.They even work on tough stains like my husbands football kit that turns up every week full of grass stains and mud. I have to say I have tried lots and lots of washing ...

Review of Bold Washing Tablets

Bold and Fresh washing

Advantages: cleans brilliantly, smells nice, softens clothes nicely
Disadvantages: can be a bit more expensive than other washing detergents

...happened to buy the new Bold 2in1 Activ Fresh the other night as I wasn't in Tescos and needed washing powder. It was on special and since I needed to buy conditioner as well it made sense to get the 2in1 tablets. I've used them a few times now and they're brilliant. Not only do they clean thoroughly (I normally use 2 tablets per load) but they do smell really nice and certainly shift grime. I'd been working in the back garden and my fleece got the ...
...I'll be sticking to bold from now on, even if it comes off special and is a bit pricier. I would imagine that you could probably just get away with using one tablet as two seemed to work so well if you wanted to be extremely economical about it. ...
