Daz Washing Powder: A standard price for an excellent performance

Advantages: Great scent, good cleaning powder, great price.
Disadvantages: None.

...I am staying at my Mums at present and Daz is the soap powder that she has currently purchased. The box is red, white & blue and stands out on the soap powder shelves as quite a recognisable product. The box has a handy pour spout which you just pull out of one side and this helps to pour the soap powder directly in to the washing machine drawer. The soap powder has a standard fresh, clean scent to it and nothing that I could put my finger on. The box states that it contains enough for 10 washes but my Mum says that she usually makes this last a good 15-20 washes as she rarely has soiled washing or even complete loads as for the most part she lives alone and just has her clothes & bedding to wash. I did not actually measure out a particular amount and just sprinkled it in to the drawer, I would definitely say that I used far less than 10...

Review of Daz Washing Powder

£1.64 for 3kg. Asda Smartprice Washing Powder is super smart!

Advantages: Cost effective and does the job!
Disadvantages: None in my opinion

...Review of Asda Smart Price Biological Washing Powder I first purchased Asda's own brand biological washing powder a few months ago as part of my budget cutting exercise. Asda do various washing powders and this review covers the basic range version, known as 'Smartprice'. The powder comes in two sizes, 3kg and 1kg . I am reviewing the 3kg size. The Product and Packaging As the name Smartprice indicates, this is biological washing powder is aimed at the budget end of the market. The product is made in the EU for Asda. The washing powder is designed for automatic washing machines or hand washing and the 3kg box will provide approximately 30 wash loads. The price for this size is £1.64. The powder is packaged in a sturdy cardboard box. The packaging is basic, a white background with a green flash along the bottom of the box...

Review of Asda Washing Powder

Vegetarian Washing Powder!

Advantages: Cheap, Vegetarian, Kind to Skin
Disadvantages: Not widely available

...Acdo washing powder has been around for generations and my family, many of whom are allergic to washing powders in general, use this almost religiously. For many years, I couldn?t find Acdo in my local supermarkets but recently I?ve noticed it appearing again on the shelves and even found a box in my local corner shop. Delighted, I bought a 500g packet of Miracle Acdo Non-biological powder at the start of the week and have been pleasantly surprised by the results. I would recommend this washing powder as an extremely economical and skin friendly product which is definitely worth a try. About Acdo Miracle Acdo washing powder has been around literally for generations. In 1919 a 16 year old office boy called Harry Pilling set up his own business ? the Astley Dye and Chemical Company. The story of Acdo represents...

Cyclon - Morrisons Non-Biological Washing Powder

Advantages: Great price, great quality, great smell
Disadvantages: None to hand

...about. The Morrisons washing powder was great for our sensitive skin! We had no rashes, itchiness - basically no reaction at all! The washing powder cleaned all of our clothes very well, including my fiances gardening clothes, which had grass and mud stains on them. It also cleaned my sons paint covered clothes well, and left my whites looking a nice bright white colour! The smell of the Washing powder on the clothes in nice too -it's not a strong in your face smell -but it is scented enough to give you that freshly washed sensation. I do however recommend using it with a fabric conditioner, as I am impartial to having really soft feeling clothes. All in all we found the quality of the Morrisons Non Biological Washing powder to be competitive against other brands - it is very reasonably priced and gives good value for money -also you...

A FAIRY GOOD WASHING POWDER

Advantages: Gentle on sensitive skin, leaves clothes clean and fresh
Disadvantages: Pricier than some other leading brands

...What can I say in this review that will make washing powder sound exciting? Nothing really, and that's the entire point. People simply want their washing powder to do exactly what it says on the packet - wash clothes clean, smell fresh, not irritate skin and not burn too big a hole in the pocket. Does Fairy washing powder come up to scratch on all these features? Let's find out... DOES IT CLEAN? ------------------------ In my experience, the answer to this question is yes. Myself and my partner own a Golden Retriever dog that is often covered in slobber, mud and various other smelly and messy concoctions. Invariably they usually end up being transferred onto my clothes by his over-enthusiastic hugs and shakes. He seems to know exactly when I am wearing light coloured clothes as I always seem to end up being covered in mud...

Review of Fairy Washing Powder

persil washing powder pleasant but not good for eczema

Advantages: long lasting smell
Disadvantages: harsh to skin even non-bio verson. too expensive

...on the few times i have used persil i loved the smell. the smell always seemed to last a good few days. unfortunately the product always started my eczema off at first i did not realise it was the washing powder but after a few times of use with other products inbetween i realised it was the problem. also my son who also has sensitive skin had a rash on his face which was were his clothes had been rubbing- tis cleared up when i stopped wasing his clothes in persil. the cleaning power is good- however i would not say it was anything special. i feel it it is also expensive compared to other non leading brands. i would not buy persil again as it is very harsh to sensitive skin and i feel it is too expensive....

Review of Persil Washing Powder

At last the powder Zanussi recommend

Advantages: Fresh smell , clothes exceptionally clean , goes a long way ,better for my machine
Disadvantages: More expensive than some , may be harsh on some fabrics

...************************** BACKGROUND ************************* Over nearly 34 years of married life I have used loads of different washing powders . Initially I had a twin - tub machine. At the time these were the bees knees and everybody used them . Looking back god were they a pain . We moved on like everyone else to an automatic machine and felt the shackles loosen a bit . Dramatic eh but sort of true. I have always swapped about with washing powders usually buying one from a reputable brand , but that was on the best pricing offer . Over the last few years I have found I cannot always use the cheapest . I don't know what they have added but lots of them make me itch . Particularly Surf or Daz . I had settled for Bold as I liked the smell . not a bad wash , good price and no itchiness . A few months ago my...

Review of Ariel Washing Powder

apple and lime washing powder REALLY ?!!

Advantages: georgeous smell
Disadvantages: want to wash everything again !!!

...I have got 4 children between the ages of 5 and 16, one of them is a girl, so as you can imagine I have washing in abundence ! I have never really taken much notice of the 'NEWER & BETTER CLEANING' washing powders as if the current powder is so great haw can it be improved ?! Well that shows me how wrong I can be. I picked up a box of Bold 2in1 apple blossom and lime zest whilst shopping the other day by mistake. Once home I realised this but had washing to do and carried on and used it. I am so glad that I did. The clean fresh smell that came from the box when I opened it was breathtaking, absolutely georgeous. As it states on the box that it is 2in1 (includes fabric softener), I didnt bother to add any of my usual conditioner. Some 2in1's also need conditioner added I think, even though it says on the box that none is...

Review of Bold Washing Powder

Wash day blues :-(

Advantages: Very cheap, reasonably good
Disadvantages: Bleaching agents lighten dark clothes.

...I am sure I am not alone when I say that I tend to let the laundry get to the size of an EC food mountain before I think to myself, hmm, I have no clean clothes ! Yesterday was no exception, and as a result I ran out of 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. (My mother used to work as a lab technician testing material for a company making clothes for Marks and Spencer so I know all about enzymes). What is the packaging like...

Review of Tesco Washing Powder

Tesco Value washing powder

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Does not remove marks and bleaches coloured clothes

...Trying to economise I bought this powder as other powders can be so expensive. The range does not have seperate powder for whites and colours so I used it for both. I found that it did not remove any ground in dirt like around the shirt cuffs and collars or any marks where food had been dropped, despite following the instructions carefully. After a few washes I noticed my coloured sweatshirts had faded badly. There was no skin irritation but a good chance of ruining the look of my clothes so I resigned it to use only when washing my husbands overalls and gardening clothes....
