I bought some Al..t some time ago, and used it in my Ho.p...t machine on a cold wash, the results did not impress me, so I went back to my normal brand. With a different machine, doing a thirty degrees wash, I thought I would try A.di's brand.
Anyone else use it with success?

Re: Washing powder - A.di?
I used to buy Formil, which is Lidl's own brand. That used to be fine. Haven't bought powder for years now though. I did read somewhere that powder is actually better for washing, but I still buy liquids.
All powder's will be pretty much the same.

I also use Formil liquid.and think it is wonderful value. Very inexpensive and does a good clean, bright wash.

I use tescos own liquid & it seems as good as any others - but cheaper....(and its not tested on animals, I believe aldis own brands also arent but Lidls are).

I use Aldi's Almat non bio and find them very good. They have had up to recently about 20p off their normal price so I have been stocking up.

I had no idea that animals were tested on the Lydl product. Definately won't buy if that is the case.

Re: Washing powder - A.di?
Thank you all for your replies. Haven't started the Al...at yet.
Re: Washing powder - A.di?
Using the Al..i powder. Don't know if I will buy any more after the packet is used up. It tends to still go partially solid in my dispenser drawer, even on a thirty degree wash. I now measure out the amount, and add hot water so that it dissolves. This is working, and none left in the drawer.
Been watching a minimalist couple on you tube, who travel around in their home adaptation camper van. Most impressed with them. They use washing nuts for their washing. Anyone used these?

I have used the wash balls and tbh found them utter rubbish. They are now languishing in my peg bag.
Re: Washing powder - A.di?
Gwen, are the wash balls the same as the nuts?
Re: Washing powder - A.di?
Not sure, Spreckly. I got mine from the Ideal Home Exhibition in Birmingham some years ago.

Ever thought of making your own?
Since this thread
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=35039&hilit=laundry
I'm still making my own.
I buy an 'emergency' bottle of liquid every couple of years, I still use fabric conditioner in most washes too.

Re: Washing powder - A.di?
Never made my own wash powder, Hedgehugger. Seen in the past that other Laners have. Thanks for the link.
