    I've been using Asda 2 in 1 Gel Moonflower & Ylang £3 for a 28 wash bottle.

    It gets my sons white school shirts spotless.

    I find the poundlan Gel OK for things that ust need a freshup, but for whites and anything that is a bit stained I use Aldi Almat its excellent and is £2,29, it won the which award last year.

    I have to buy Astonish laundry liquid as it's one of the few that doesn't irritate my dd's sensitive skin, it's usually £1.99 for a 28 wash bottle I buy it in The Range or Savers and it does seem to wash our clothes well.
    Booo!!!
