Why not to economise on washing powder

Sarahsaver

why, what will this mould do to you? I have my washer in an unheated utility room so i just thought mould was an occupational hazard...

Mine was getting a bit on the smelly side until I started using bicarbonate of soda as washing powder. Now it always smells lovely and so do my clothes.

Using in my washing machine seemed to caused my pipes to block up previously.

So I am abit vary on using Vinegar in my W/M again.

I do at least one boil a week, though will lessen as teh children grow an dfly the coop (boo hoo).

I read an interesting article years ago, saying that pipes etc get clogged with greasy deposits and teh most effective way of cleaning is a boil about once a month.

I boil sheets, knickers, work jeans and shirts, and basically anything white or that has tomato based sauces stuck to them.

The machine is great, the clothes smell good, and all is well with the world.
