Tesco Value Washing Powder/Fabric conditioner

LilacLillie

My son tried Tesco value fabric conditioner about 2wks ago and had a really bad reaction to it...........................he's still scratching!!!
He had to re-wash everything that had been rinsed in it. Maybe its just him????

I recently stocked up on this as my last supply was almost out but found it has changed. It now have blue bits in it and I am finding that the powder isn't going down into the machine properly - it is staying stuck in the drawer.

Is anyone else having the same problem since they changed it?

I just tried it recently-impressed with it (despite me preferring liquids for a while in my cold fill WM I am back to powders!)....on a couple of occasions a little has stuck together but I just rinsed through with a little warm water either during cycle (I can pause and open drawer mid cycle) or at end for next load!

mine has always had blue bits in it (i stopped using it after i had my last baby as he has bad exzema might try a wash in it and see how he goes) and i also found bits got stuck in my door only a little bit tho and if i disloddged it it would go into the next was

If I open the drawer during the cycle water comes out. I am about to have a baby (not using this powder on baby stuff) so won't have time to be messing around with the washing machine - i just want to be able to put the powder in and it to disappear like it used to when it came in boxes and didn't have the blue bits in.

I have noticed that hardly any of the powder is going down in the wash even though I don't use as much as they say - infact today I did a test and hardly used any and when i checked the drawer it still had most of it there.

I don't have any problem with other powders or with the old one. I don't know when they changed it as haven't had to buy any for a while but I wish they hadn't changed it as it looks like I am going to have to find a different wash powder.

Even if I dislodge it for the next wash it just stays there and then goes rock hard.

It's funny you should say that, sianb84. I've just started using tesco value powder and this morning when I opened the drawer to put powder in I found a lump of wash powder from the last wash. I just assumed it was a random thing, so left it in there for the next wash. That wash has just finished and half of the powder is still in a lump in the drawer. I don't use more than a tbsp per wash so I don't think it can be down to the amount. I assumed it was a problem with my machine but if you're finding the same then maybe it's the formulation!

glad it is not just me!! I never had a problem with it before they changed it.

I am now stuck with just under 4 bags of the stuff!

I had the same problem with it sticking in the drawer and going rock hard. I stopped using it.

Gee, I'd just bung it in the drum on top of the washing-load and use it up that way

Pleased I read this, was just about to try the stuff. Will stick to my usual brand then. Thanks. Might be worth e-mailing Mr t's customer service to let them know.
