Domestic Emergency - how do i know how much liquid to use without a dosing ball

[PeckaRolloverAgain]

In an attempt to spice up my laundry life I have changed from my life long useage of tablets to liquid and fabric softener.

I bought ariel liquid but it doesnt come with a ball so ..... how much do I use?

I thank you

that much. It goes in the drum with the washing - you'll need a plastic cup or something - I've used a plastic cup when I haven't had a ball (not a rigid, breakable one)

Maybe a bit more if you have hard water or very dirty washing.

Can i not pour the liquid into the drum?

not sure i have a suitable plastic cup

what do they expect me to do?

why can't you put it into the drawer?

does it say not to?

I suppose you could pour it straight into the drum - but you have to be careful it doesn't mark the clothes. Is there a number on the bottle to ring?

I could post you one for tomorrow if you want.

Or go to Tesco and steal a ball off a bottle of Persil (they come with balls).

I have gone on to their website and ordered a dosing ball - how long might that take do you think?

pecka - live dangerously - pour it in and stop when it looks good!

where are you - I've got one

Im in Newcastle upon Tyne

I think I might go and put a wash on and just for the hell of it make a guess at the right amount and whack it in

who said SAHMdom was dull

glad it worked out!!
