Messing about on the Internet came upon this UK small enterprise. They sell "organic" based products including a laundry powder that seems rather highly rated.

As one has stated previously is known as the "cold water" oxygen bleach.
Unlike sodium perborate which does not really get going until water temps reach 60c or above; sodium percarbonate will bleach at 40c or even 80c if not below. Yes, one may have to leave things a bit longer for serious stain removal, but the stuff will get you there. Frequently do heavily embroidered linens at 40c or even 80c when badly stained. Using a scoop of SP a load done just last night in the Lavamat with Persil color gel that was badly soiled in red wine marks came out brilliant. |

Good that the stains came out with little effort. As a matter of interest, how long is a typical wash programme on your AEG? |

Default "Normal-Cottons/Linens 119 min. "Time Saver pressed once - 91 min. Time Saver pressed twice - 63 min.
Pressing "sensitive" or "stains" adds ten or so minutes to total cycle time Maddening thing about this AEG is lack of cycle guarantee. If water is warmer than incoming parameters are set thus reaches temps faster, washer will simply abort about ten minutes of cycle. So a 63 minute wash goes down to 53 minutes. Also shortening the wash cycles using "time saver" aborts or eliminates the recirculation portion of wash cycle. |
