Bio powder?

Hi, I'm finding some of my clothes really aren't getting clean. I've always used non bio liquid but should I be investing in bio powder for things like baby Muslins or more stained items?

Even non bio powder would be better than liquid as it contains bleaches that helps with stains. I always use bio powder

I use biological for everything. It undoubtedly cleans better. Powder is better than liquid.

Put stained items in direct sunlight. Clothes, Tupperware, plastic chopping boards... Even on cloudy days stains will be bleached.

Doesnt even need to be that hot. 40 degrees would do it.

I agree, bio powder definitely gets clothes the cleanest, and keeps the machine clean too, with no gunk build up.

Thank you knowledgeable folk. I completely cleaned out the dispenser yesterday and have added Persil bio powder to my shopping. Will specifically wash those extra dirty items in it. My daughter has a bit of eczema so was a bit worried but will be worth a shot just to see if it works!

There’s some recent research that suggests bio washing powder / liquid isn’t a problem for eczema. (Will try and find it) I do think that newer washing machines send to prefer liquid though. I don’t think the water gets hot enough to fully dissolve powder anymore.
