    Is anyone else seeing 4 exclamation marks after the capital S? If you are in South Yorkshire or Lincolnshire you will know where I mean. I have no idea why the letter are not being printed.

    Decided not to buy. I clicked on the 4 pack which worked at at 1.63, however the postage was £4.99.

    So if anyone sees Bio Tex in Lincoln, S!!!!horpe or Doncaster, let me know.

    Hi

    Have you tried in Morrisons? It sold here in our branch, but you have to be quick to get it cos if flies off the shelves!

    A 500g pack costs now around £1.95! It seems to have gone up a bit lately! I have tried other brands like Vanish; shop own brands, but I find that Bio-tex is still the best!

    Good hunting!

    PS. I tend to soak overnight, and that gets the results!
  • Had to laugh when i came upon this thread.
    Son came home from uni with a manky yellow hoody (agh)!
    I did the usual wash etc then remembered that I had a sample of Biotex in a cupboard somewhere - so I put it all in the wash and it did get some stuff but not all - but them it was about 3 years out of date.
    How on earth did our mums get our whites clean years ago without all the oxy/vanish/whatever stuff?
    I reckon it's all a con, we just used to use really good washing powder.

    Sainsburys are still selling biotex. I have a carton under the sink, but rarely use it. I prefer laundry soap bars (available Boots, they're called white windsor) which seem to remove just about any stain and a bar lasts for ages.

    I can remember my mum using Biotex many years ago. She used to soak things in it though, not just use it in the wash.
  • Despite being the best stain remover ( as per which?)

    i can only find it in asda

    Swansea 99p shop had a lot of boxes of Biotex this morning.
  • I was asking the same question yesterday at my local Sainsburys, where
    is the Biotex?
    It now seems that only some Sainsburys stock it, like Finchley Rd, or the other alternative is to get it on Sainsburys on line.
