Re: Ecozone and Method Laundry Detergents
I’ll give the Aldi a try then. Never been keen on Ariel if I’m honest especially the smell and since Ariel Ultra I think stain removal is poor.
Re: Ecozone and Method Laundry Detergents
I’ve never seen the programme.
They are expensive I agree and if they don’t give the desired stain removal end up being a waste of money.
What do you personally Recommend?
Re: Dr Beckmann
Thanks for the reply. As far as I am aware there are no stainless steel tubs in stores unles Miele make them that way. I know I am one of very few people who launders properly andvreads instructions.
Re: Miele Washing Machines
I have asked Miele but get a typical sales response not from someone who knows what they are talking about.
Perhaps a washing machine engineer could shed some light??
Re: Branded Detergents
Once again thanks.
The Affresh is probably what I need as the supermarket stuff isn’t strong enough.
Re: Branded Detergents
I did have my doubts about the recommended amounts.
I have a dispensing ball so shall reduce dosage down just so there is enough visible suds but not lots.
My clothes never get that dirty anyway so I generally would dose for normal soil.
I probably have a lot of detergent build up in my machine then if that’s the case. Will something like Dr Beckham washing machine cleaner clear all residual detergent?
Re: Branded Detergents
I have read KWatts link but you haven’t answered my question.
In your opinion do manufacturers recommend too much to get you to buy more sooner?
What good quality own brand detergents are there then?
Re: Branded Detergents
Martin,
Are the recommended amounts of detergent too much just so you use more so you have to buy more detergent sooner?
The Astonish liquid is quite heavily concentrated. Claims to do 28 washes but I could probably get more like 50 washes out of it!
Re: Branded Detergents
I have not overdosed on detergent! I just followed the recommended amount.
I put 45 ml in as recommended by the detergent I used which was Astonish 2 in 1 liquid.
Re: Branded Detergents
Thanks for the replies regarding branded vs non branded detergents.
Perhaps someone could explain though why there is always foam in the rinse cycles? Shouldn’t they be crystal clear? There is no zeolites in liquids so I know that can’t be the culprit.
My machine seems to drain the water ok but there is always foam left inside the bottom of the black sump hose and just foams up on the rinse cycles. Never had this problem before so unless the pump is not very powerful have no idea why the foam wont clear.
I have a video I can send and perhaps someone could tell me if there is a fault?
