I used them and they did work but (strangely) my ds's eczema flared up with them so I had to stop using them.

HTH

Only worked when the clothes didn't look like they had any dirt on them, if that makes sense, so, no, not really work for me.

Agree with jem, do not work well for stains. I now use them for coloureds, not for whites. They can also make washing machine smell funny if you still use washing machine liquid as I do at time. Then have to pour vinegar in WM and run a cycle .

I still use them for that warm fuzzy feeling of saving the planet single-handedly .

LOl, yes that warm fuzzy feeling is why I tried them too.

Right, with a DH with eczema and a lot of pale washing (including nappies), I think I'll give them a miss.

Have sent you an email too - found a medium nippa - d'ya want me to swap the popper one and give you the difference back?

Flame, Good idea, I would prefer the no popper one. Why not hold onto the money until I decide which size I am keeping, I might have to give you more !!!
