What Washing Powder Do You Use?

Today, l have been to Costco to buy a box of Ariel Professional Washing Powder for 140 washes. It was 17.99.
It was a toss up between buying that, or the same size Persil Non Bio washing powder.
I find Ariel washing powder very good.

What do you use? Do you use, powder, liquid, tablets or, sachets?

I use Aldi's own brand - one for coloureds and one for whites. Can't remember the price offhand but I think under £3 for 40 washes. Both excellent and I've had carers ask what I use so that they can buy some.

Re: What Washing Powder Do You Use?

For all my walking clothes - outer, liner and inner - I use NikWax Tech Wash:



For other clothes and sensitive fabrics, I use Surcare liquid:



For heavy-duty washing, I use Surcare powder:



I use Dri Pak White Vinegar as a "softener" for towels and sheets.

I also deep-clean my washing machine every month - Dri Pak Soda Crystals, Citric Acid and White Vinegar.

Persil non-bio powder. Would like to change to something more eco friendly but find them expensive by comparison

Since Omah recommended it for restoring my towels - I now use white vinegar instead of fabric softener - it is brilliant.

Am not familiar with those brands, Omah. How do they compare on price with the run of the mill stuff? Are they available in supermarkets?
