I use Asda's own colour branded washing powder but do find although it smells nice it is not getting rid of stains on my 10 month old daughters clothes! Its not bad stains either just bits of banana etc - anyone have any tips??:mad:

Children are llittle :A. Try dabbing a little bit of ACE liquid on the stains, seems to work for me.

Banana is a mare to get out any way to be honest.

THe best stain remover for me is washing soda! I simply add about a tablespoonful to the wash and it comes out great!

I once saw this signature on a forum - Nothing lasts forever except banana. How true I have found that!

I found out by giving my 7 month old a whole banana while she was wearing a white top :eek:

Asda's own Dishwasher tablets.
I've just taken a pack back (minus two undissolved ones still on the bottom of the dishwasher) and got my money back after their failure to.... firstly dissolve and secondly have any effect whatsoever on the job they were given to do. Dismal!
Nice and cheap though.

Re. stains, I find soaking in a mixture of Biotex is the most reliable way to get rid of stains.

I went into my Somerfield today and their super concentrated clothes washing liquid Bio&Non Bio is now down to 69p!!!!!!:jIt used be £2.29. (20 wash qty)

I bought quite a few bottles today.
I mean its cheaper than the *£* shop!!

ps as someone pointed out earlier their 'Colour version' is £1.19

I have 2 toddlers and a baby so my washing is very dirty! The only thing that consistently gets out all the stains is Ariel actilift liquid tabs. I think it is worth spending a bit more ( I stock up when they are on special offer) because I save money by not using stain removers and not having to rewash things! Own brand is fine for adult clothes that don't get that dirty but for kids you need to wash at 60 degrees with a decent detergent IMHO.
