Hi,
Can anyone recommend anything that I can put in the wash with DS's clothes that would have the same effect as that REALLY expensive Oxy Action stuff..... he's got some clothes pretty dirty over the last week, and they've just come out the machine looking almost as dirty!!!
I did wonder about bicarb, but don't wanna put it in without advice first, just in case!
Thanks

If you read the label on napisan and oxy action, its basically the same stuff0

And no doubt Napisan is way cheaper! Thanks Frugal'We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars' - Oscar Wilde0

According to that site Vanish, Oxy and Napisan are all the same product with huge difference in price!! Some shock there.0 -

You should also check out the pound shops to see if they have any of the oxy stuff in. I have seen it in the Leicester one - looked similar to the one I saw in Morrisons retailing at around the £2 mark. Might not be as cheap as napisan but was still a saving.0
