Daz Handwash / Twin Tub Washing Powder

jonny2510

The DW has just come back with some of the above, for our normal washing machine (we normally use normal Daz)

Her justification was that there was more in the box for the same amount of money as the standard Daz.

Is it ok to use this in a standard washing machine?

Are there any differences?

I think it makes more soapy suds and so you'd need to use less, but it might be less concentrated so you'd need to use more... hmm
I had a rummage around and found this: you might want to take it back for a refund.

There's a possibility that it could cause so much soapsuds that the pump on the washing machine may get blocked with them. Then the machine overworks trying to pump the stuff out.

I would definitely leave it unopened and return it asap. I'm sure the shop should exchange it with no problems - just tell them it was bought by mistake .

It makes more suds because it has a higher soap content and you will have suds flowing out of the door ( I did this when I first got married and soon learned not to do it again!)
You could try adding borax to it and mix well it might help to neutralise the suds

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll send her back with it! :rotfl:

I'd just use half the recommended dose, maybe even quarter to start with.
