Advantages: saves on your electric bill, clothes smell fantastic and its easy to use

Disadvantages: none

This has been heavily advertised on the television so thought I would try it as I liked the idea of washing in cold water to save on electricty bills. It cost me around 3.00 and from one container you can get around 18 washes depending on the size of your loads.
The packaging is quite unique to other products on the market. It is a white plastic container, which you stand on its head. There is different coloured ones for the type you buy, I bought the one which had febreeze effects technology in it.
The detergent is a liquid which contains your detergent and conditioner so you only need to buy this. It claims 'outstanding cleaning from as low as 15c - Cold is the new hot'. The first time you try it you simply screw part of the lid off and this forms the holder for the detergent. You squeeze as much in as you want (their are guidlines on the cap) and then pop on top of your washing inside the machine (no need to use your drawers). You can set our machine temperature as low as 15 degrees which is what I did. The results were pretty good, the smell was fantastic and everything looked really clean and whites looked white. The feel of your clothes was soft and refreshed and because of the febreeze technology clothes smell fantastic. I would definately recommend this detergent, its good value for thee pound for 18 washes and saves money on your electric bill and clothes smell gorgeous!

Summary: a fantastic detergent and good value for money and clothes smell gorgeous
