Surcare Fabric Conditioner
by miffy1 I've been using Surcare products for ages now, as myself and the rest of my family all have very sensitive skin and cannot use any products that contain perfume. When I discovered Surcare washing liquid, naturally I had to see whether they also did a fabric conditioner, and sure enough....they did! The conditioner, ... like Surcare's other products does not contain perfume or dyes and is dermatalogically tested and approved. It comes in 1 litre bottles that give you 28 washes, and costs £1.69. I think that is good value for money! You use the conditioner like any other, adding it to the dispenser at the beginning of the wash. I was pleased at how soft the clothes felt when they dried. Towels come out lovely and fluffy. The real test was wearing the clothes. We had all got used to itchy skin, but since using Surcare products, that has all gone. Got the best of both worlds now....clean, soft clothes and skin that doesn't complain any more! Got to be a winner in my book! Surcare is available in Tesco and Sainsburies, but you can also buy it direct from the company via their website at: http://www.surcare.co.uk/index.php Read the complete review |

Surcare Sensitive Powder
by SallsMumof2 My youngest daughter has eczema - and by that I don't mean the 'behind the knees and in the elbow folds' kind of eczema, I mean, the 'all over her body and face, red raw and very sore' kind of eczema. It started as soon as she was 12 weeks old. This was followed by 10 horrendous weeks of seeing it worsen to the point where 70% of her ... body and face were covered, she was screaming constantly and we were averaging 2-4 hours sleep per night. I will not go into all the details of what we have been through to even try to manage her condition, but suffice it to say, we looked at EVERYTHING which had the slightest possibility of helping/damaging her skin and washing powder was fairly near the top of the list. I have mild eczema and sensitive skin myself so have always avoided biological washing powders, using only Fairy for many years without any problems. We also never use fabric softeners. So in desperation for anything to help my baby, I scoured the internet and read LOTS of information from the National Eczema Society and other resources. This is where I discovered Surcare non-bio washing powder. I purchased a box from my local Tesco, but it is fairly widely available from most large supermarkets. It costs £2.28 for a small, 10 wash box but is currently available at Sainsburys on a 2 for £2.50 offer, so well worth stocking up. I have had some difficulty getting it in the recent past and often empty the shelf if there are only a few boxes left. The box is different from the one shown in the picture - it is a mostly blue box with bubbles on it and blades of grass at the bottom of the box. Surcare is written in dark blue in the centre of the front face and the other information on the front states 'outstanding results at 30 degrees centigrade' and 'free from perfumes and dyes'. There are also endorsements on the packet from 'talk eczema' and 'dermatologically tested and approved'. It has a side tab type opening and you shake the powder out to dispense it. It is a white granular powder and looks pretty much like any other washing powder. The biggest difference is that it has no smell. I have used this powder now for approximately 4 months and I now use it for all our family laundry. I use it in exactly the same way as I would any other powder, bung it in the drawer of the washing machine and hey presto. I think it washes as effectively as Fairy on 30, 40 and 60 degree wash programmes and I don't feel our washing is remotely cardboardy and stiff - quite the opposite. Everything comes out clean, soft and ready to wear. The biggest criticism I have, is that it's not available in larger boxes. A small 10 wash box can't be the most economical way to market this product and it is certainly a faff to store all the small boxes in my cleaning cupboard! However, apart from the box size and intermittent availability issues, I really cannot find any other faults with this washing powder. In summary - from my experiences, I would thoroughly recommend Surcare non-bio washing powder to any one with eczema and/or sensitive skin. It cleans as well as leading brands, leaves your clothes soft and is suitable for family use. The box size is a bit annoying and you probably won't find it everywhere. The only other people who probably wouldn't want to buy it, are those who like their laundry to smell of 'apple blossom and white sapphire' or other exotic fragrances - this probably isn't for you. I give it 5 out of 5 as my baby's skin is much better, she is much happier and we all have clean clothes - smiles all round in this house :-) Read the complete review |

Surcare Sensitive Powder
by pinklady1 Everyone tries to save money where possible, some more than others but at the moment I am trying to save more for various reasons, and trying some items I have not tried before or using brands recommended by others is what I am doing at the moment and it has made life a little bit better financially, so I can still enjoy some of the ... other luxuries in life as much as possible, I am trying to buy bargains more than ever, and so when I saw this wash powder for around £1.30 for 800g, I thought I would try it. The box is pretty basic and but it is much nicer than some of the other lower brands, it is a non biological one, it is for sensitive skin, and since I have that kind of skin I thought I would probably be fine for my budget. The powder is white and it is a nice texture, it is light, soft and the grains are tiny, it is unperformed but I can smell a small amount of fragrance to it, but it is very slight, which I did not expect it to have, it actually dissolves perfectly in the wash, I have found that it has not been attached to my clothes or fabrics when I have taken them from the machine, I just hate it when clothes come out of the machine because the powder has not dissolved but this one is fine, it is also very easy to pour from the opening tab at the side of the box. I have washed my clothes etc on a lower setting on my machine at 30% and the fabrics have been cleaned to my satisfaction, I have not however used this powder on any stubborn stains as yet but my whites have been perfectly clean for my liking, and my coloured fabrics have been fine too. The box gives approximately 10 standard washes and I have used this around 5 times so far and I think it would certainly wash a few more than the standard amount with this one, but that is because I do not always do a full load in my machine, I have also washed and soaked some tops that I often hand wash, and this powder has been super for them too, and it has easily rinsed from the fabrics with no problems at all and left them nice and soft in the same way as it has when used in my machine. I think it is a good quality powder which is very good for babies or young children's clothing as they have delicate skin, I have washed some of my grandsons clothes with this powder and he has had no irritation on his skin and I have not myself on my skin. I think it is affordable for anyone on a budget or have a lot of clothes to wash, and I highly recommend it and I will be certainly buying it again in the future as it is very suitable for myself and my family and for the price it is extremely good value for money. I give it 5 stars. Thank you for reading my review. Read the complete review |
