    I have been trying out Daz for Whites and Colours as part of a project team trial and used to use the ordinary Daz washing powder years ago before all the washing liquids & gels came on the market.

    I have to say that I was sceptical, but all my clothes, bedding (and even my floor cloths!) look and feel really clean. Part of the reason I previously stopped using washing powder was due to the mess it made of my washing machine's detergent tray, but Daz hasn't left a trace so far.

    This washing powder lasts longer than the washing liquids/tabs and it's far cheaper to buy too.

    So I've reverted back to Daz. They do a liquid version too, but I'm sticking with the powder.

    I use half Almat liquid from Aldi's and half soda crystals It works fine for me and I couldn't be bothered mucking around with 'coloured ' or white seperate stuff.I get the non-bio as it seems to be gentler on clothes and my clothes never get that mucky anyway I am after all a 'genteel old lady ' :):):) and don't do a grubby manual job. Reason I use liquid rather than powder is that its more portable and I am able to store it easier a 28 wash bottle is under £3 and usually does double that as I only use half the stated amount and with a handful of soda crystals its more than enough for a decent sized wash load. no point me buying a huge box of powder then having to find somewhere to keep it in the kitchen or cupboard.

    I have a chap who does my gardening for me so I don't get hot and mucky out there
    Sheets are changed weekly and line dried and I only use white vinegar to condition them with Far less expensive than buying a seperate gloopy conditioner with a chemical smell

    So what, it's still relevant to some of us and avoids duplication.

    (I was looking for info on Daz as my wife's American, lives in the UK and wanted a UK equivalent of Tide, which is what Daz appears to be).
