Look Wt the weight and cost per kg as you might not get the washes claimed depending on if you need to use more for hard water or dirty clothes

Morrison's prudax £6 for a 90 wash box.

Or for real money saving costco's kirkland washing powder about £13 for a 400 wash tub.

And yes hard water etc could make a vpbig difference

Hi does anyone that uses the prudax or costco find any problems with the powder clumping or going hard in the dispenser draw I have used aldi almat without problems but would prefer to buy in larger packs/boxs but dont want to end up buying large if there are issues my washinh machine is new and a cold fill only
thanks

If you mix wash powder with equal weight/quantities of Soda Crystals (£1 for a 1kg bag) it reduces the cost per wash.
So look out for powder offers (any brand you prefer to use and the add the Soda crystals).
I mix mine (a large wash powder box at a time with several bags of the soda crystals) and decant to old liquid tabs containers for easer of use).

Usually use purdah, does anyone know of a good but inexpensive non bio? Just had a small person and she does have dry skin so don't want to use bio on her for now.
