Ariel Tablets

Advantages: Clean fresh smell, good value
Disadvantages: Awkward box, price as part of the grocery shop in a supermarket.

...First review I have written in a while, bear with me if I come across a bit rusty! Now I am very fussy about what washing detergent I use! I like to use one that smells nice, and that is my main concern. There?s a couple I can?t use as they seem to irritate me like mad, Persil Non-Bio is a no-go, as is Daz and Fairy. Normally I purchase whatever is on offer, or if I can get to Makro, I will buy it there. Failing that I?ll go for Tesco?s own Bio washing detergent. My favourite washing detergent has to be Ariel Tablets though, and on a recent trip to Makro, I bought in bulk! -The Packaging. These tablets, as they were from Makro, came in 2 boxes of 82 tablets as they are meant for industries such as catering and cleaning I suppose. They were bound together in a sleeve that read ?XXL Pack?, and the individual boxes state they...

Review of Ariel Washing Tablets

Rennie Spearmint Tablets. Yummy and effective.

Advantages: Good taste, works, cheap.
Disadvantages: chalky,crumbly.

...Rennie tablets The Rennie brand is seemingly one of the most recognisible in it's category. They are taken for indigestion and heartburn but are also supposed to relieve wind problems and problems with digestion in pregnancy. This particular product is the spearmint flavour which is part of a whole spectrum of Rennie products including 'Rennie Ice' and 'Rennie fruit'. Indigestion and Heartburn..what is this? As I didn't know really what indigestion was I thought I'd tell you what I learnt about it! Incase anyone reading this is unsure of whether they need to consider this product or not. It is casued by a build up of too much acid in your stomach and means that generally a pain is felt in the stomach or just behind your rib cage. Some people say it is caused by eating too fast or spicy foods which I think is true but to be honest...

Review of Rennie Spearmint Tablets

Non-Bio Tablets!

Advantages: Only needed to use one for an almost full load (not soiled), great scent, good price.
Disadvantages: A little expensive when not on offer so stock up when they are!

...As I am at my sisters at the moment when I need to wash my clothes I just use whatever she has brought on her last shopping trip. This week it was Persil Non Bio Tablets. The tablets come in a cardboard box with a perforated tab which you can pull to open and then inside the box the tablets are wrapped in twos. I used one tablet for my wash as it was not particularly dirty or soiled and I put the tablet inside the wash bag (I'm not sure if this was provided with the tablets as I found it on top of the washing machine). I then pulled the drawstring and threw it in to the drum along with my clothes. I washed my clothes on a 40 degree wash which lasted around 90 minutes and when I took my clothes out they had a lovely smell to them which lasted for most of the day when wearing my favourite top. Everything looked clean and a gravy stain...

Iron Tablets

Advantages: Boing boing (off the walls)
Disadvantages: Need...to...breathe....*GASP*

...those who smoke may notice the signs and of course women who suffer heavy periods lose a lot of iron every month. It is extremely important that you speak to your doctor before you think about taking an iron supplement as sometimes it could be the first signs of something far worse. Symptoms of a deficiency are similar to those diagnosed with stomach ulcers. So speaking to your doctor first and determining the difference could potentially be life saving (In the worst case). Never just assume. --The tablet itself/what it contains-- The tablet with just iron in weighs at 15mg which is 7% over the RDA. Now I am a tablet fiend. Most of my life I have taken horse pills as medication but even my eyes popped out when I saw the size of this tablet! It is quite difficult to describe the size. It is an oval shape and measures 2cm across...

Laundry Tablets For Tough Jobs!

Advantages: Works beautifully needing no pre-treatments
Disadvantages: Leaves a residue on the door seal at low temperatures.

...picks up. I have joined the locals in this quest to dry outside when I visit, and some of my undies have been rescued from the fields with newly acquired grass stains, so the product I am reviewing here has been tested in both areas, which is good because Scotland has soft water and Essex has hard water so it is interesting to compare and contrast the results. Persil Gel tablets are biological, and you can find them in the laundry aisles of many supermarkets in an apple green box. In the right hand corner are the words "Just Washed Feeling " which on their website means that they are treated with Active Microcapsules - a new technology, which means that they have a freshness which lasts all day after washing. I bought mine in Tesco and they were on offer at £4 for 48 tablets which does 24 washes, making each wash work out to be just under...

Will this scottish tablet cure your ill's

Advantages: really good fudge

...Coming home from Scotland we stopped to buy some gifts for friends. We bought some Scottish tablet. Now for those of you who do not know tablet is basically fudge.

Review of Gordon & Durward Scottish Tablet

A tablet for a happy loo!

Advantages: No scrubbing
Disadvantages: Can't use the toilet for 6 hours

...Went to do my weekly shopping and decided to stop at the local Wilkinson to get a few cleaning products for the house. I am always spoilt for choice when I go there, there are so many offers and they do offer a wide variety of products as well. It was possibly 6 /7 months ago I discovered these tablets. They were on offer at £0.99 and I thought it was a bargain not to miss! I knew Harpic products anyway so thought this would have been a good buy anyway! What this product does is simply to remove limescale and properly clean under the waterline, without any need to scrub scrub and scrub! PACKAGING ********** On the shop shelf this product comes in a carton box blue and white in colour which says Harpic in bold red letters. The box contains 8 tablets and each tablet is singularly wrapped in a white plastic sachet to make...

The Night Time Tablet

Advantages: Excellent for sleeping problems, Not addictive
Disadvantages: Not for major sleeping disorders

...I have read through most of the Phenergan opinions on this site and was very surprised to see that no one has written about the "Phenergan Night Time Tablets". Several months ago I had a very severe pain on the right hand side of my body around the top of my leg. The pain was most severe in the night and I used to have great difficulty in sleeping. As you may be aware from some of my previous opinions I travel to West Africa a lot and one of my trips I picked up some Diazepam Tablets 5mg from one of my friends pharmacies. These tablets are basically the generic form of Valium. Although I hardly ever used to use these tablets I am one person who always like to keep a stock of everything for any sort of emergency because you never know when you might need it. When I started experiencing these pains my first thought was to...

SWEETEX TABLET DISPENSER

Advantages: widely available
Disadvantages: too sweet and synthetic

...After deciding to cut down on sugar, I thought I would take a look to see what alternatives there are on the market. Sweetex was one that caught my eye. Firstly the colours stand out against some of the other sweeteners, because theres so much white, which is good in terms of making you want to try it. I bought some from Tesco, for 99p for 100 tablets. They are just less than 1 cal a tablet, so negligible unless you have them in big quantities. On getting home, I made a cup of tea to try them out. Firstly I found that everytime i pressed down on the lid, either 2 tablets would come out or 1 would and then 1 got stuck, jamming anymore from coming out. So that wasnt a great start as it is very easy to oversweeten your tea by accident. Next as they went into the tea, a small little fizz came up to the top of the surface...

Persil Tablets

Advantages: Well known brand, good for babies
Disadvantages: Cleaning not brilliant, doesn't smell nice.

...I find that Persil tablets don\'t clean as well as some other brands I have used. I have a very messy 4 year old, so I have lots of stains to contend with. I find that the tablets aren't as effective as some powders, and they don't always dissolve properly during the wash. I have also found myself, on occasion, having to use 3 tablets instead of 2. Another thing that I tend to find with the Persil tablets, is that they dont smell very nice. I know it's not the most important feature of laundry products, but the way my clothes smell is important to me. I suppose the Persil tablets are fine if you only have a small baby, or older kids that don't get stains on their clothes, but they're not much help when you have a messy toddler to contend with,...
