    Don't put Stergene in a washing machine. It may be for washing clothes, but it doesn't go there!

    It makes lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of bubbles.

    It took four rinses to get it clear.

    And it doesn't say not to put it in the washing machine. But I admit I only checked afterwards. :o

    I know we aren't meant to use bleach for Green reasons, but a capfull in a hot wash will get dye out of a WM.

    I use tesco economy DW tablets and i kept getting water leaking out of the side. I arranged for someone to fix it and he told me that the economy DW tablets were creating too many bubbles and that why my DW was leaking out of the sides....

    ...this got my money saving mind thinking....i could buy the expensive tablets...or could just split them in half like loads of old stylers do....guess which i do?

    And dishwashers...:whistle:

    as far as dishwashers are concerned,beware of those dishwasher cleaners,that you run through to clean the machine.I just could'nt believe the foam that kept coming out of mine when I used it(dosed it correctly).It took ages to clean up,my floor was soaked.
