in Old style MoneySaving
My fabric conditioner has gone really thick so much so the washing machine won't take it. I really don't want to waste it esp as there's approx 84 washes :eek: can it be saved?

    Dilute it with vinegar, I do this as a matter of course since using this forum. HTH
    Sometimes not moving backwards is as much an achievement as moving forwards is on other times. (originally posted by kidcat)

    It's only a bargain if you were going to buy it anyway!

    Use white vinegar... Or plain water. I very much doubt it could go 'off'

    I just recently had a bottle like this too, it was a comfort one. I watered it down and it seemed to be fine

    I've had this too - I just watered it down with normal tap water and it's fine (goes further too!)

    You could contact the company and ask them for a reason why this has happened, you never know they might send you some more as a good will gesture.
    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. :)
