In a unmarked bag in the utility room in our holiday cottage - no other washing powder/ liquid visible but they look more like dishwasher tabs to me. Don't want to ruin the obviously ne washer/ dryer...

Are the small enough to fit in the compartment in the dishwasher?

RustyBear · 28/07/2014 09:24

Yes, but my SIL thinks they should go on top of the washing...

YABU.

Look like washing machine to me, but I've never seen liquid pouches for dishwashers

Def dishwasher if solid, liquid tabs that go in drum tend to be softer!

RustyBear · 28/07/2014 09:26

Yes I know straw dolly, sorry, but I need to know quickly! Maybe we need a 'help before I make an expensive mistake' topic!

I wouldn't use it. Can you contact the owner? It can be really quite disastrous if you use the wrong one.

RustyBear · 28/07/2014 09:27

They have liquid round the outside and powder in the middle

They look like dishwasher tabs; possibly Fairy (thinking about the colour). I think that green laundry tabs are not appealing, the colour doesn't make me think of clean clothes.

EveryGoodBoyDeservesFun · 28/07/2014 09:28

I think I saw an advert for these last night for washing clothes - fairy possibly? It showed a white top with red spots. I've tried to google but can't find it, but nearly sure that's the same thing as I remember thinking they looked like dishwasher tablets!

I'd buy some new ones - wouldn't want to risk them in either machine without being sure!

CillaBlacksOrangeBouffant · 28/07/2014 09:31

Washing machine. I've seen them advertised on tv

EveryGoodBoyDeservesFun · 28/07/2014 09:33

Found them! They are Persil. Will try and upload pic.

OorWullie · 28/07/2014 09:34

I'd def say washing machine- the look like the new Persil ones that you're meant to put under your washing.

Thanks Flowers- Mumsnet comes up trumps again- couldn't find anything on Google! Now we just have to work out the right programme....

Sorry I can't get the pic to upload. But google persil capsules and you will see them under images.

Oh it did work...

RustyBear · 28/07/2014 09:39

That's it - thank you very much Thanks

I was googling 'tabs' not 'capsules', which probably explains a lot...
