...thought that I would put Tesco own brand non-bio washing powder to the test. Being on a strict household budget, I'm always after the best deal that I can find and was pleasantly surprised by this.

...via which you can order a totally free "dosing device", isn't it false economy to give a net bag away with every box? And bad for the environment. But anyway, the tablets are in little plastic packets of two-- the amount they suggest for the average wash-- but that again is bad for the environment. tsk.

...washing powder, so over to Tesco I went. Having forgotten my bank card and needing several items, I decided to buy Tesco Value automatic biological washing powder. Why choose biological ? ************************** Well, biological powder has enzymes in it which dissolves food on clothes, therefore helping to remove stains. Biological powders work better at cooler temeratures, enzymes are destroyed at high temperatures making them unaffective. ...
...product is ONLY available at Tesco stores, so if you do not have one nearby then you will not find it. Tesco also do a larger size box of the same product which is even better value than the one I bought.
