Aquados new product - vegan laundry tablets unscented

[Guest guest]

Hi

 

Just to pass on info I received from Aquados yesterday. They now

have washing powder tablets that are unscented. To quote:

 

" The Simply Washing family is delighted to welcome its latest

arrival - brand new Simply Pure.

 

As the name suggests, it contains no perfume or optical brighteners -

and gives you a gentle, hypoallergenic, non-biological wash. It's

ideal for taking extra care of your family's skin, and especially

good for delicates.

 

All of which makes it the perfect family laundry detergent - and it's

just as eco-friendly as the rest of our range. "

 

I remember some members weren't as keen on their scented tablets so

thought would pass this on in case anyone wants to try it.

 

More info on their website www.simplywashing.com

Has anyone has problems with them? I tried a pot and found that I often had

powder caught up in the door of the washer. I tried distributing them in

different parts of the laundry load, but somehow some seemed to find its way

to the door where it remained undissolved...

You could put them in the drawer?

 

I use ecoballs. They work well enough for me and look cute too

Given the way they are wrapped they are designed to go in the machine

and the coating disolves, I did have one case where it didn't and I had

to run the cycle again. Suppose there's nothing stopping us splitting

them and putting them in the drawer. I do get a little residue in the

door but not enough to worry about, just enough to cover a finger tip.

 

I've seen those EcoBalls, predictable question coming up, do they

really work as they don't have detergent in them? The reviews from

users I've seen has been very positive but I'm still unsure. Try and

sell me the idea as I am very tempted ;-) What about gym clothes that

get a little bit extra grotty do they work on those too? Got any

websites/sellers you'd recommend?

 

Also seen Soap Nuts that I'm checking out on the web, does anyone use

them and would recommend over conventional laundry powder/liquid?

 

Thanks, Jo

Well, I'm a fan of eco-balls. They're easy, don't cause any mess, and

clean well enough for me. I don't know about gym clothes, but I

waitress, as well as cycle 45 mins to and from the restaurant, so I

guess that's about the same . . . plus the added food marks on my

apron

 

There's no bleaching agent, but it comes with a stain remover.

 

They last for up to 1000 washes, so it's economical.

 

The best place to get them, in my opinion, is

http://www.ecogreenstore.co.uk/Cart/Product/382/3671/View.aspx

 

They're 24.50, which is the cheapest I've found.

As I understand it the eco-balls are a con - you will get the same

results just washing your clothes without any detergent or other

gizmos, simply due to the effect of hot water and rinsing etc.

Who did you hear that from? I wash my clothes at 30 degrees on a

short cycle.

Here's an informal but interesting assessment:

If you want to check it for yourself you could try leaving out the eco-

balls for your next wash (or perhaps just add a couple of stones

instead), and see if you notice any difference.

 

Cheers,

 

Paul

Well, according to that, conventional detergent is no good either.

I'm going to stick with my eco-balls. They work with me - maybe it's

my magic touch as I put them into the wash
