So for as long as I can remember I have used laundry pods just because they are more convenient but I also was notorious for using to much if I used powder or liquid.

I am finding that the pods are getting increasingly more expensive than liquid and powder so am thinking of switching. I wouldn't use powder it's just too messy especially if it spills it goes everywhere.

I have tried the Aldi and Lidl pods and I don't think they are anywhere near as good as Ariel or Persil.

I don't use softener as it's really bad for the fabric and the machine.

So I just wanted to ask what laundry stuff do you use ?

For anyone interested I picked this up in Lidl..the bottle looks very much like Persil. they do a biological version to..it's only £4 and I've tried it and it's bloody good stuff. The only thing I will say is it doesn't have a strong smell once the laundry is dry but clean doesn't really have a smell but for anyone that likes it to have a scent then use fabric conditioner or scent boosters. The bio version does have a stronger smell but I have to be careful because of sensitive skin.
