Ive not added softener yet as it wont rinse properly with that awful liquigel. So Il catch a pic of the rinse somewhere and add the softener when Its rinsed clear. I might play about with adding some Olbas Oil somehow to Comfort Pure although I might need a fair bit to get a kick. Im full of cold and want some nice fresh bedding for tonight. Will have to dry via radiator I think. the dryer might set alight if I add Olbas Oil to the final rinse. Nick | ||

You may want to be careful drying on the radiator with the Olbas....I believe it has turpentine in it! | ||

hmmm It onlt took 4 rinses to rinse clear so here we are with the Softener. I had a cap left of Comf Pure left in the old bottle and I just poured an unspecified amount from the new bottle into the rinse fill up lol. Am giving the Olbas oil a miss hehe. Only dilemma is getting the washer to do a full 800rpm spin now..... its playing up and only seems to make it to 600rpm or thereabouts. Its taking the mickey how wet stuff comes out without a couple of extra spins. Nick

Oh yes, you definitely overdosed!! Not only with the detergent but also with the softener as it looks. How much detergent is there actually in that ball? Bed linens are relatively thin so they don't need a lot of detergent to begin with. I changed from Ariel liquid to Omo (UK Persil) tabs for my bed linens and I'm very happy with it. No extreme suds and excellent rinse result. And I only need one tab although our water overhere is rather hard.

Dosage!!!
Nick...just had a phone call from the "EarthWatch" people, saw the washer and reckoned it was 3 times over the dose needed.....I did plead your case but there`re on the way to tell you in person...lol One of the independant dealers I worked with in 80`s had a test kitchen for demo`s etc...we set up three machines, Hotpoint Microprofile 1400, a Siemens 640 w/d and an AEG lavamat, we gave each a tablespoon of Persil Auto and set a load of whites/clothes in each, these machines had a 9lb/11lb washload, the AEG was outstanding with this amount of powder......its true , we dont need what it says on the packet!!! Happy dosing, Mike | ||
