cheapest laundry detergent

pepsimax62

I last bought a large box of bold reduced to half price in wilkos because the top of the box was damaged,I mixed it with a large box of asda sp powder in a big plastic container.6 mths later its still going strong.
I do on average 4 washes a week.Don't know if I'll be so lucky to find another bargain but definately will mix whatever I buy nxt time with the sp one.:)

I'm thinking of making the homemade laundry detergent too. I'm thinking of using either a vanish type stain removal bar rather than regular soap bar. Would this work still?

I find that Asda Sp is very good - and my friend who is a real brand snob and has fallen on hard times has started to use it and says that is just as good as many of the branded ones - I am slowly but surely converting her to OS

I've been using Lidl's washing powder for the last 6 years now and find it really good. It's called Formil and comes in Bio, Non-Bio and Colour varieties.

The big box normally lasts me for about 4 months at a time, which is handy given that my nearest Lidl is a 3 hour ferry crossing and then an hour in the car away!

DH has sensitive skin and we've found that Formil doesn't aggravate it, so tend to buy a box every time we're away.

Is lidls one of the cheapest? It is very handy for us.

The Lidl washing liquid is less than £2 for a 20 wash bottle ( but I am quite stingy and get more washes out out of it)

I haven`t bought one of their huge boxes of powder for a while but I think they are around £4

Hi kingston,

As your thread has dropped down the Old Style board I've moved it over to the Food Shopping & Groceries board to see if you can get more replies.

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].

Have never used biological powder. Is it ok to use with kids?

You're better off using soap to wash the kids

If you can get to a Costco there own brand (Kirkland) works out at 2p a wash if you use the recommended amount - I use less and its OK, washes our clothes fine.

Yes we get the 12.7 kg kirkland signature laundry powder may not seem
'cheap' but it has lasted us 8 months and is consentrated (i know i spelt that wrong!)
It comes in a big plastic tub- hubby used the last one as a car washing bucket

I buy Tesco Non-Bio tablets and use one tablet per wash (unless there's any particularly dirty or stained clothes, which normally there isn't) so I find a box of 48 tablets lasts for about 3 weeks.
