Bio / non-bio

Please talk to me about laundry detergent

I use non-bio for everything. I have recently converted to gel from liquid for ease of use.

Three out of four of us have sensitive skin with eczema flare ups, so bio has just never made it into my house.

I don't have a problem with stains or fading, although I do boost a particularly foul load with Vanish, or target grease/grass stains with Swarfega.

So everything from cloth nappies and towels to smart clothes gets washed in non-bio.

Am I missing something?

I think in which? Tests last year the aldi one beat all the other brands to come level with Ariel. It's not tested on animals either but that doesn't matter to everyone.

I've always wondered about all these stain removers, the adverts are all "best cleaning power ever" then the next add is for the matching stain remover which seems contradictory, if the detergent was that good surely no stain remover would be needed?.

I use spray on diluted bleach for stains on white, a dab of aldi concentrated washing up liquid on coloured stains.
