    I am abit confused reading the leaflet they put in with them, says the nuts inside are used in the pharmaceutical industry - should we actually have the nuts - mine look like bits of shells?? is that right?

    and do we still put fabric softner in?

    Got my free sample Friday and did about 6-7 washloads with them! I do live in a soft water area though so that helps them last.

    Didn't read the paperwork properly though and didn't think they were good on whites/or stains :o - all sorted out now. Def going to buy some as no conditioner is needed (white vinegar or other) so saving even more.

    Haven't tried drying outside yet as weather not very washing friendly so only dried in TD (not very OS I know!) which does help with the softning process.

    BTW what environmentally and OS spot/stain removal does anyone use?

    What do they smell of? I've noticed they sell fragranced oil on the site as well and wasn't sure if this was to disguise the smell or not?

    They don't smell of anything - I think they are selling this as an extra if you want a fragranced wash (another way of getting us to buy even more - unecessary stuff :confused: ).

    I've asked for a free sample. They sound great but I want to see what they are before I buy any.

    I got a free sample and am currently using them for the 3rd time, being in a hard water area I can't believe how soft the washing feels! I was stunned that the washing didn't smell of anything, but I've just been using an old bottle of Geranium essence oil and that works great for a fresh smell, not that you HAVE to have one of course!

    AND these won't be clogging up your machine pipes either....AWESOME!

    Definitely going to buy some of these after I use up all the other products I have icon11.gif

    Oh and also found them here too.
