Surf Tropical Capsules

I bought a large 35 wash box of these just before Christmas when they were on offer for £6 a box in Tesco. I hadn't used Surf before because we tend to have Persil but I thought this was a good offer and I liked the pink colour!

Where can I buy these?

I have seen these in a number of shops so they seem to be one of the more popular fragrances. In addition to the capsules you can also buy a powder and in a small and mighty bottle too. Each variety comes in a number of different sizes and there is a large selection available from Tesco. I imagine there is also a large selection in the other supermarkets and also shops like B&M and Home Bargains.

For the capsules, current prices from Tesco are 10 for £3.19, 20 for £5.59 and 35 for £8.95.

How to use

To use these you simply put one capsule in on top of your washing and run your wash cycle as normal.

Do they clean well?

I'm pleased with how well these cleaned. All of our clothes came out the washing machine clean even if washing at 30 degrees. With some capsules I have had a problem of the plastic casing not dissolving properly and then some ending up sticky on our clothes but this was not a problem with these tablets and there was never anything left in the machine.

The smell

The capsules smell really nice and they scent my clothes well. The fragrance is a sort of fruity floral fragrance and it smells really fresh. When I do a load of washing you can actually smell the fragrance throughout the flat which I like.

Once clothes are dry they do have a subtle scent of the capsules when I wear them. If I use a fabric conditioner in addition to the capsules this does usually overpower the scent a little bit but if I dont go overboard with the conditioner (which I usually do!) the smells usually mix together.

The effect on my skin

I do have quite sensitive skin and often end up with itchy skin when changing washing capsules, however I found these absolutely fine.

Would I buy them again?

Definitely. I think these are very good capsules and I will buy them again, especially if I find another good offer like I did on this box. I really love the scent and have actually now bought a box of the powder to try once I have finished the box of capsules.
