Best laundry detergent

[Boringista]

Please give me some recommendations- I’m spoilt for choice at the shops

Have been using Aldi tablets but they don’t make much foam in the machine - can anyone recommend something really good?

bio powder
brand doesn't really matter, they are all pretty much the same.
foam is no indication that the detergent is/is not working properly. in fact in a modern machine too much foam is not a good thing.

Didn’t bio detergent contain bleaching agent though... so no good for dark wash?

*doesn’t

you can get colour powder.

I alway stick with Persil or Fairy non-bio powder, rather than tablet or liquid. I used an eco-egg for a long time as well which was very good actually.

There is so much choice:
Dark wash
Delicate wash
Bright coloured wash
White wash...
Abs that’s before i factor in bio / non bio.

I am totally confused. I have a delicates liquid (Woolite) and use Aldi (non bio I think) for all else.

Thanks the vanguard. What’s an eco egg ? (Goes to google...)

I always use bio powder for all washes (apart from delicates).
Liquid detergent messed my machine up and left the clothes smelling damp.
I like Ariel and Persil, but usually buy Persil as it’s cheaper and frequently on offer.

I use Ariel HD colour pods and turn jeans inside out before washing plus a colour catcher sheet

I've always used persil non bio for colours and daz for whites, towels & bedding.
I won't touch vanish powder as I found it wrecks clothes and has often set a stain in rather than removing it.
If I need a stain remover I use bio-dex which I've found to be quite good (small turquoise box if you're looking for it)

Oh and I forgot to mention... loads of my clothes say don’t use bio detergent/ so I’d kind If abandoned it.

Fuuuck- thanks I think my mum (rip) used to use Daz.

Sorry Fucck- misspelt your name. May appropriate the misspelling...

I also have a bottle of Woolite liquid for delicate & wool items, although not a good stain remover if I'm honest, but obviously it can't be harsh so 🤷🏽‍♀️

I use an eco egg for light / quick washes, but have noticed that my last one left my whites a bit dingy, so keep it for colours now. I use Ariel or Persil powder / flakes for hot and white washes. Don't think there's much difference between them.

All is forgiven 😆

Twilight & uncomfortably- Ariel Is part of p&g which has a royal warrant. I wonder if the palace uses Ariel?!

I use Method even on the baby's stuff, it works well and the smell isn't overpowering.

Ok so I’m learning here...

A. Eco egg or non bio powder good for colours (except c below)
B. Bio powder or Daz for whites / bedding etc
C. Woolite for items which say no non bio / are obviously delicates
D. Avoid liquids (except woolite) and tabs az powder is best.

Well I like liquid. Not tabs just liquid. Aerial, surf, persil whatever is on offer.

Non bio powder also contains bleaches. It just doesnt contains enzymes

You would need a powder for colours to avoid bleaching agents.

No liquids contain bleaches whether bio or non bio

Seems to me there are so many options and I suspect a lot if it is just marketing to make people buy more.

I think my grandmother used to use ‘soap flakes’ on everything. Can’t remember brand. I wonder if they are still available...

@Boringista Lux?

Demented- so I need 2x non bio- one normal and one for dark wash?

@bloodywhitecat YES!
