Has anybody used this? Is it any good?

I've bought a small box of Biological Tablets today. I usually use Persil Bio, but wanted something cheaper. Some of the cheaper bios are too stinky Confused

its ok but if you keep your eye out surf powder can be about the same price when on offer i think

I just finished a large box of the powder & will certainly buy it again. I don't tend to rate Surf though - well not for stain removal on the kids stuff. I got good results from the Formil stuff.

I don't fancy Surf, I think it's got a strong perfume. I can't use Ariel either. Sainsburys own brand bio smells nice, but it's not that good for stain removal.

I wouldnt use the powder, it makes white streaks on darker clothes. I have used the Formil liquid detergent on whites and I am greatly impressed. Lidl is a bit of a trek and the bottle is heavy, but next time I'm out that way I intend stocking up. It's better than most top brand detergents
