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

A short review about washing up

Advantages: OK if your dishes aren't too dirty
Disadvantages: Not as good as the branded products

...Whilst wandering around our local branch of Tesco?s the other week I noticed a display of ?discount items? not to be confused with the Tesco Value or Tesco Market Value range. The discount range all have a small square flash on them in yellow with the words ?discount brands at Tesco? in red and a £ sign being cut with a pair of scissors. I suppose it is yet another ploy to help us save money or at least make us think that we are saving money ? or am I being a bit sceptical? The discount items were mainly in a range called Daisy which I hadn?t heard of before but I decided to try the washing up liquid. I purchased the concentrated washing up liquid with antibacterial action in the 500ml size which cost me 67p. Had I chosen the standard Daisy washing up liquid in the same 500ml size it would have cost me just 57p. The idea is...

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

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

...depend on the level of soiling and type of dirt that the powder has to cope with. I do not wash heavily oil stained work wear for example, or toddlers clothing with large food stains, but for my everyday laundry requirements, I found this product to be excellent, both in the washing machine and as a hand wash detergent. Recyclable packaging, a very moderate price and a product that actually does what it promises, all add up to a thumbs up from me! Definitely one I would recommend. Thank you for reading. ©brittle1906 May 2009 ciao.co.uk...

Purple washing up liquid!

Advantages: Good price, works well, smells great
Disadvantages: None for me

...When in my local branch of Tesco?s the other week I needed to buy some washing up liquid and so headed to the relevant aisle in search of a good deal. I noticed that the Tesco Antibacterial Washing Up Liquid costing 92p for 500ml was on special offer of 2 bottles for £1.20. I thought this sounded like a good deal so I bought two bottles. The bottle is made from clear plastic and so is fully recycleable and has a flip top lid. Through the bottle I could see the lovely rich purple colour of the washing up liquid which is French Lavender fragrance. The notes on the back of the bottle offer the customer the ?best ever performance, cleaning ability and grease removal?. There are instructions for use on the back of the bottle although I can?t imagine anyone actually needing to read instructions on how to use washing up...

Review of Tesco Washing up Liquid French Lavender

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...

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...

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...

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....

Surcare - a gentle washing up liquid

Advantages: An effective and gentle washing up liquid
Disadvantages: None

...I decided to try Surcare as I intensely disliked the stong fragrance used by other washing up liquids and the aftertaste the residue left in cups etc if they are not thoroughly rinsed. I had tried Ecover washing up liquid but that was a little more expensive than the usual brands. One day I happened to spot Surcare on the supermarket shelves and decided to give it a try. Mainly because it was very reasonably priced at 76p and much cheaper than the most commonly known brand of washing up liquid. At the moment they are on offer in Tesco's at 2 for a £1... Surcare is specially made for those people who suffer from sensitive skins. It is unperfumed, dermatologist approved and contains no dyes. It comes in an atractive white 500ml bottle with a picture of a mother and young baby on the front. The liquid is clear and unperfumed. You...
