Method washing gel

It's in special offer for £5 for a massive bottle in my local Tesco at the moment so tried it out. One small drop on a bloodstain on DH's white shirt collar and a small capful into the drum. Fab results - bloodstain gone, gorgeous lingering scent without the 'chemical' trademark smell We're all used to.

And I don't work for them! Passing it on before the inevitable price rise which is why I've bought 4 bottles

I was just thinking this about five minutes ago as I put a wash on. I bought the massive bottle for £5 and I'm very impressed. Only a small amount needed and the smell is very delicate. Will be buying again.

Glad I'm not the only one Claire.
I've bought 3 out of the 4 fragrance options. I reckon a bottle will last and last so pretty good value for £5.

I'm guessing it'll go up to at least £8?

A word of warning about liquid detergent generally - they don't contain the bleaching agents powder does which means they don't clean your machine as thoroughly and it may quickly get smelly.

Ah ok Wow, good advice.

Is it worth running a really hot cycle now and again with something to help clean the machine?

Thanks, we usually use the fresh air normal version - so have order the new ones to try!

Cold water would have got the blood out too! Method is not chemical free

No, I don't reckon it is demented but for me, it doesn't have that cloying scent of other mainstream brands.

Yes Moth - washing towels at a high temp with powder once a week will probably do.

I've just stocked up on their whole range after trying the hand wash, it all smells amazing and isn't as harsh as many cleaning products.

I tried one a couple of years ago and the fragrance was so cloying and unpleasant I had to throw it away. Wish there were more unfragranced options.

I looked at this (also on offer in Tesco Smile) but I couldn't tell if it was bio or non-bio, am I just being really dim?
Recently moved from the old style method liquid to ecover bio powder, mainly because I couldn't find the big refill packs of method (presumably because they were about to roll this new one out).

Whoknows I bought their bathroom cleaner and it wasn't pleasant. I only ever buy their stuff on special offer - it isn't cheap, is it?

Splosh products are a good alternative to Method.

I don't mind the bathroom spray, it's not the nicest but you only smell it for a few moments as you clean, whereas laundry detergents are on your clothes and bed linen and there's no escaping it. I love their almond fragranced floor cleaner though.

I've been using Method's washing up liquid for over 5 years, It doesn't dry my hands and is IMHO very economical. I would not use another product unless they change it drastically.
We've been using their soaps too. I like that one which disposes lather.

It's a bio as the ingredients include enzymes on Tesco website.

I picked up one too, such a good offer. I love Method stuff.
