Wash your hands of it!

Advantages: Smells nice, leaves skin soft and smooth
Disadvantages: a little more expensive than other hand washes

...is pretty expensive for a hand wash and hand cream, but it really looks very posh sitting on your bathroom shelf. Now Boots sell these items separately and I couldn't see it online at all?so am assuming it was only available as a gift set because of Christmas. You may still find it in some stores as a gift set but as it available separately I am going to review each one on its own. Wash your hands of it The hand wash aptly named "Wash your hands of it" can be purchased in a 250ml (8.4 fl oz) pump action bottle, made of recyclable plastic. The bottle itself is clear so you can see exactly how much is left and also the lovely transparent pale pink liquid gel wash inside. Labelling Normally labels don't hold much interest for me but I really love the label on this as it just makes you want to pick it up and have a closer...

Review of Soap & Glory Wash your hands of it

Wash-It and Go!

Advantages: Works very well on coloured items
Disadvantages: not always so good on whites

...The Wash-It Laundry Ball. It's a ball that you put in with your washing load. You put no soap in. no liquid, no messy little sachets of liquid that can melt or burst in the cupboard. No. You only put in a little plastic ball. I mean, that can't work. Can it? Surprisingly enough, it does! And very well too! The official description of how it works is this: There a tiny pellets of a specially formulated substance held within the Wash-It Laundry Ball. These are said to activate the water molecules, making them produce electrolytic oxygen and hydrogen ions. (No, I don't understand that, either, but we'll leave our ignorance of molecular science to one side for the purpose of this review!) I must admit that when we bought our first Wash-It Laundry Ball from Lakeland at £8.00, we were a little dubious. I mean, how can this work...

Review of wash it laundry Ball

Wash it Laundry ball

Advantages: Very kind to the skin
Disadvantages: not brilliant on all stains or whites

...I came across this ball by chance but since having my son diagnosed with eczema that was more sensitive to all soaps and detergents I have found it to be absolutely a godsend as I tried every conceivable product that professed to be gentle to skin and not irritate but too no avail as my sons eczema would not abate until I had washes everythin he wore approx twice using this Wash ball I found that after constant use on his clothes His skin improved and I did not have to resort to creams from the doctor at all and even was able to cut down on the homeopathic remedy prescribed for him. This ball is very good for every day washing BUT does not get all stains out and I found the best thing to do was to wash occasionally in a biological powder and then wash again two or three times to revmove the detergent residue or else use a stain...

Review of wash it laundry Ball

Excellent wash but it smells of coconut

Advantages: It works well, it was cheap
Disadvantages: It smells of coocnut which I don;t really like

...because the overriding fragrance is coconut! Yuk, coconut isn?t mentioned so maybe oatmilk smells like coconut because I know Manuka honey doesn?t! Obviously if you like the smell of coconut this won?t be a problem, but it?s one I don?t like at all. The handwash is a pearlescent liquid ? a lot of them seem to be nowadays - have you noticed? It is thick enough for you to be able to rub it between your hands to get a good lather and it cleans the hands well. I have noticed that my hands aren?t drying out even when I am working in the house and washing my hands a lot. In conclusion I would recommend this one if you like the smell of coconut. As for me I shall certainly try the other fragrances ? mind you I shall have a crafty sniff in the supermarket before I buy them just in case! LOL! I am giving this product only 4 stars purely out...

Review of Cussons Carex Hand Wash Nature Protect Olive Leaf Extract

Cleans, freshens and maintains your washer

Advantages: Easy to use, very effective
Disadvantages: Takes around 2 ½ hours. Stainless steel drums only.

..."Dr. Beckmann Service-it" is a liquid washing machine cleaner that claims to "clean, freshen and maintain against breakdowns and malfunctions". The makers recommend that it be used every 3 months (or 40 washes) in order to rid your washing machine drum, pipes, seals, etc. of any build-up of detergent residue and grime. Also, by cleaning, to dispel any odours, and maintain efficiency by eliminating any build-up of limescale on the heating elements. The product is to be found in the 'laundry aides' section in many supermarkets, and can be purchased direct from the manufacturer's online shop at www.acdomart.co.uk. ~ My reason for using ~ I am keen to reduce my carbon footprint and have switched most of my wash loads to 30 or 40 degrees. However, when I recently used a 60 degree cycle (with high spin speed) I was surprised...

Review of Dr. Beckmann Service-it Washing Machine Cleaner

Should I eat this or wash with it

Advantages: Fresh smell , refreshing , has 1/4 moisturing creams , unusual fragrance.
Disadvantages: Fairly creamy but not as much as some Dove products

...If you have read my other reviews you will know that I have been trying Dove?s Pro-Age products with good results .Prior to this I had been giving Dove Fresh Touch Body Wash a go . I purchased a 250ml bottle of this body wash as part of a package . For £1.99 it included a bar of Dove Gentle Exfoliating Cream and a body scrubber ( one of those long material and loofa things) These were all packaged in a huge box which was not really needed . Still I suppose it made it look like there was more in the offer . I was not disappointed however as for the price it was great value . Dove is made by Unilever and have moved on in leaps and bounds from their early days . Gone are the days when all they manufactured were bars of soap which contained moisturisers . They now do full ranges of hair products , the Pro-Age range , body washes...

Review of Dove Fresh Touch Body Wash

Do i wash with it or eat it?

Advantages: Smells lovely
Disadvantages: wears away quickly

...still have their very successful mail/internet order side. PRODUCT The main part of the soap is creamy yellow and the top is a dark caramel colour that looks like honeycomb. The smell is lovely it is not overpowering but has a nice scent of honey, vanilla, butterscotch and maybe caramel! To be honest I didn't know whether to wash with it or eat it! This soap is an all round soap and I decided if it wasn't suitable for him I could just sniff it everyday! USING So the tricky bit, actually getting him in the bath to use it! After succeeding I gave him the soap and the usual instructions of wash behind your ears! And off he went. After about 10 minutes he called me and said he really liked the smell of this soap but it was making him hungry! He came out of the bath smelling nice and sweet and the scent did last for a while...

Review of Lush Honey I washed the Kids soap

"CHEAP AS CHIPS!", BUT DOES IT WASH?

Advantages: Multivalue Deal - Any 2 for £3, one for colours, another for whiles.
Disadvantages: Product doesn't recommend use for less than a full load.Not suitable for hand washing.

...: Both packages had clear, easy to follow directions. There was an easy to use table documenting the amount of tablets to use depending on softness of water and level of soiling. The average amount of tablets they recommend for an individual use is two. They should be put in the machine drawer flat, not stacked on top of one another. Although the dosage was clear, I found that two tablets was two much, and left your clothes with white marks due to excess powder not dissolving. With one tablet per load, it doubles the productivity, at the sametime giving better results. Product One : I used product one for my coloured clothes, from pinks to blacks through to yellows. The washing tablets worked best in my opinion on a 40degrees wash. My clothes seemed brighter after washing but some did tend to bobble more than I would have...

Review of Somerfield Washing Tablets

Dove hand wash, does what it says on the bottle

Advantages: does what it says on the botttle, what more can you ask for
Disadvantages: If I had to pick 1 it would be that it could always be cheaper

...I have a girlfriend who is obsessed with washing her hands and as a result thinks I also enjoy washing mine, or should I say makes me. We are both the type of people who like to try new products when they come out and when she saw a new hand wash all her dreams came true at once, it was off the shelf in the basket and paid for by me off course before I could blink. After using it I was surprised how creaming it was and also how well it larthered up, my girlfreind commented on how soft it made her hands but I wouldnt really know anything about that being a man would I? I must admit the scent was very pleasent and you dont need to use very much which is always a bonus especially how many time we wash our hand. In summary it smells good, packged very well and lasts alot longer then most other smiliar types of handwashers on the market....

Review of Dove Cream Wash Liquid Soap

Keeps Whites White and Colours Bright

Advantages: Eco-friendly, cheap per wash, effective, long lasting
Disadvantages: Initial outlay

...and towels than end up soft, even with air drying. I discovered the Wash-It Laundry Ball at Lakeland Limited over Christmas and have been using it ever since. It is exactly what I need and both economical and good for the environment. I'm hooked. *** What Is It? *** The ball is made of thick white plastic and is slightly smaller and slightly less round than a tennis ball. It fits perfectly into the palm of my hand and bigger people could probably wrap their fingers all the way around to grasp it tightly. The two main sides have a 'net' design, with vertical and horizontal bars that let you peek through into the insides. This is important because of the way the ball works. Inside are a large number of small, turquoise pellets, about the size and shape of peas. These are packed in but not so tightly that they cannot move, and if you shake...
