Re: Sainsbury’s Own brand liquids/powders

Well I am reassured using non branded then if you use it. I guess a lot of it is the types of format and how hot you wash and whether you give the machine a service wash. I do 60C once a week with Asda biological powder and never get smells or bacteria build up.

I actually emailed Bosch and they said using own brand detergent was fine providing its low sudsing.

I also don’t use Persil/Ariel though for ethical reasons but that’s another debate lol.

Re: Sainsbury’s Own brand liquids/powders

Next time im near an Aldi ill get some then.

Martin, are you an appliance engineer? The way I see it is some recommend a brand because they get commission. I know I am cynical but I can’t say Ariel is that great at cleaning plus it stinks 😀

Re: Sainsbury’s Own brand liquids/powders

Do you personally use own brand detergentd Martin? I personally cant see what harm unbranded doed as long as you do a wash with bleach detergent at 60C once a week.

Re: Liqui-tabs

I had to add water to the machine just to dissolve the sachet. I find even in hard water one sachet is too much for normal soiled clothing. Have been rinsing for eternity!!

I often wonder though where the dissolved sachet goes and whether it does lurk in the drain hose.

Re: Liqui-tabs

Very informative article thanks. Now I know the tabs are made of plastic I don’t think I will use them. Will stick to powder mostly.

Re: Liquids

I know someone who uses Almat and they don’t complain of any damage to their machine and they have had it for a 4 or 5 years.

Ive always stuck to Persil myself. Liquid for colours and the non bio powder as don’t like the smell of the bio powder.
