    Hi everyone,


    Wondered if you could advise me on membership?

    I had an individual membership back in 2004/2005 ish time, when I worked in the NHS as a nurse.

    My membership has lapsed, I am still working in healthcare but in the private sector in an admin role.

    Is there anyway I'll be able to take out a new membership?

    I haven't used it for some time because I found that it left a residue on some of our clothes too, especially darks and low temperature washes so you're not alone. I found it better on whites/lights and hotter temperature washes.

    Thanks for your reply. Even on lighter things there was still a residue. Wondered whether it was just a bad batch. I don't wash on higher temps very often so will leave it alone.

    My friend in a similar situation tried (admin in a private hospital) and was told no. I guess there's no harm in you going to the desk and asking though ... can you take your work ID card with you?

    I use this and don't have a problem with residue have you tried reducing the amount - it is very concentrated and I hardly use any at all (compared to other brands)

    I used whatever the measurement was that they gave. It wasn't a lot.

    I use a tablespoonful at 30 and never have any problems - also a very hard water area.

    I have never had any problems with it either. I think it's great and last me ages. As the previous poster said, I only use a small amount (usually less than they advise!) and I add 3 teaspoonfuls of soda crystals. (Softens the water and reduces limescale build up) Maybe that helps it dissolve better? HTH:)

    Thanks to everyone who contributes to this wonderful forum. I'm very grateful for the guidance and friendliness that I always receive from you.

    no, If you're asking because you have sensitive skin then I'd say steer well clear of it - itchy, nasty, itchy!!
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.
