I’ve tried Tesco and sainsburys own brand non bio powder but they both form large clumps in the draw. Wondered if anyone could recommend a good one that’s well priced please and doesn’t clump and good on skin? Trying to cut down on plastic use hence move to powder!

I use Asda sensitive own brand. Doesn't clump or leave marks on clothes

Aldi non bio is fine. If you’re getting clumping in the drawer, try using a bit less to give the water room to pass through. Unless clothes are really dirty, half the recommended dose works just as well.1

I don't use powder very often but when I do I put it in the dosing ball which then goes straight in with the washing. never use the drawer!
Work out exactly how much detergent you really need.The manufacturers want you to use as much as possible (well, they would!) So much depends on the hardness of your water. At my holiday home where the water is very very soft 5ml of liquid detergent is almost too much! more than that you have to do several extra rinses.Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!
