To ask you to recommend a cheaper laundry liquid?

[Croesotygwyn]

I’m trying to cut costs. I have always bought branded laundry liquid like Ariel, fairy or bold but it’s so expensive. I tried an own brand - I think it was Asda and it was just rubbish.
Can anyone recommend any cheaper detergent that’s not bad? I use the liquid not powder as the powder seems to clog my machine and the liquitabs are even more expensive, we are only a family of four but I do laundry every day!

[Ibleedibreedibreaatfeed]

Lidl or Aldi own. I do occasionally use powder but I put it straight in the drum. Tabs are a nightmare as they can clog drains!

[CheeseFace]

I use Surf.

[MeatyRvita]

Aldi’s own is brilliant!

I just buy the branded stuff but from shops like savers, it can be a lot cheaper for the exact same product as the supermarket

[Preech]

If you have a Costco membership or know someone who does, Kirkland brand is good.

I've only tried non bio liquid, never had an issue with Tesco's.

I would recommend the Aldi own brand liquid wash (where you put a capful in the draw).
It's cheap and smells great and gets every day stains out too.
I used to spend a fortune on Bold, Persia etc but this has saved me a fortune. Several different fragrances to chose from too. I like the coconut one!

[PinkiOcelot]

Same as @MBM18. Always use Tesco non bio. No problem with it.

[Immaculatemisconception]

Aldi definitely.

Aldi liquid. it rated high on the Consumer association tests. So did their dishwashing tablets and their washing powder.

[CommanderBurnham]

Fairy sometimes is a lot cheaper on groupon

[DroopyClematis]

Always used to use Fairy or Ariel.

Discovered Formil at Lidl.

It's brilliant and you only need to use a small amount.

No scratching by my husband or son who are quite sensitive to laundry products.

One big box ( which is hard to get now, for some reason) will last a very long time.

HTH.

[Skyll]

Lidl Formil. It’s fabulous.

[MissyB1]

Is powder better for your machine?

[Agadorsparticus]

We've switched to Lidl Formil, it's good stuff

[5zeds]

Collect conkers follow instructions on the net, make free detergent

[purplesequins]

powder direct into drum doesn't clog anything up.

lidl or aldi own brand cleaning stuff always comes up high in which! and equivalent testing services.

[nonevernotever]

www.ecoegg.com/product/laundry-egg/ we switched to these and love them.

My son did a science project where he tested a variety of washing powders on 10 different stains. Aldi powder came second, beaten only by Ariel. Persil was towards the bottom.

[DeathMetalMum]

We use aldi. No bio as dd has sensitive skin but have used the powder, liquid and powder tabs and all great.

[WeeBenny]

Pink stuff liquid is really good. Smells lovely too

[MrsClatterbuck]

I have changed to Sainsburys liquid. I always use a dosing ball but might try Lidl after reading the posts here. I always used Persil before and I am also making sure I use the right dosage as I was definitely being too heavy handed.

I use Woolite for delicates but wonder if there is something cheaper. Used to get Mark's when they did a good offer but they have stopped doing their liquid for delicates and woollens. Have bought the Persil one to try atm.

[SockFluffInTheBath]

The Aldi one is pretty good. I usually wash with powder but keep the liquid to use as a pre-wash stain treatment.
