I'm having great trouble with some white and cream clothes having white patches, any suggestions? I currently use Persil non-Bio liquid.

I use persil or bold or Ariel powder - depends whats on offer tbh. Persil and Ariel probably do non bio powder options if that's what you prefer

Non bio won’t shift stains. Even if just for whites you need a biological powder. Treat stains with a stain remover ASAP. I like vanish soap bar or liquid. Then wash, with bio detergent (powder is great for whites, liquid preferred by some for darks) I add a scoop of the cheap Oxy powder stain remover to the wash if needed.

Once washed hang in the sun to dry. On a bad day, on a hanger in the window. Sunlight is a great stain remover.

I use Morrison’s own green powder for everything. It’s eco friendly, efficient and cheap.

Non bio powder will remove some stains as it still contains bleaches. It won't be as good on food stains as enzymes help break them down and non bio doesn't contain them
