Can't think where else to put this..........
Has anyone used Lidl's W5 stain remover powder version of Vanish? It's quite a lot cheaper and I'm wondering whether it's any good. Or any other recommendation?
I have a lot of tablecloths to wash regularly that have food and drink stains on.

thanks for that - i will not bother trying it then and stick to me vanish - i only use it once in a while (only 1/2 a scoop)!Dogs return to eat their vomit, just as fools repeat their foolishness. There is no more hope for a fool than for someone who says, "i am really clever!"0 -
i always put 1/2 a cap full of Ace bleach in with the washing, especially if its DS's muddy rugby kit. wash it on a 40 wash, and it always comes out clean. i use wash powder as well, obviously!
i also put 1/2 a cap full in with other washloads, and then i can just wash them on 30. never had any problems, just make sure you start your washer as soon as you put the Ace in

Have you noticed any fading of colours with Ace?0 -
I use Bio-tex powder in green box about 1.75 in Tesco. It recently won the Which report review (sad i know!) and does not seem to fade colours or affect sensitive skin and is economical. I have a daughter who likes to challenge me with the state of her clothes and this always does well.
Hope this helps.0
