Advantages: The smell!

Disadvantages: It didnt clean my clothes all that well!

I absolutely love it when I walk into my mums and she has her washing on the aromas floating around the house are beautiful and her washing smells exactly the same once dry. She isn't brand loyal to be honest instead she just buys whatever she likes the smell of when she goes shopping. One thing which was rather refreshingly fruity flowing around her home the other day was Surf Small & Mighty Carnival Burst and tangerine.

Surf Small & Mighty is a concentrated liquid detergent designed to provide less packaging for the same amount of washes thanks to the strong and 'mighty' detergent that really works apparently. It comes in a 730ml decorated plastic bottle which we are told can provide us with 20 washes. The bottle is a white background then decorated in pretty peach flowers and leaves with what looks like tangerine peel at the bottom all very attractive and fresh. We are told it is Surf Small & Mighty with essential oils Carnival Burst and Tangerine being the fragrance. We are also informed on the front of the bottle that this is 2 x concentrate.

The back of the bottle tells us that this concentrated detergent is ideal for 30 degrees and it also provides us with brief guidelines as to how much to use. It is easy to measure your amount though thanks to the peachy coloured cap that screws off and acts as a cup for you to pour your liquid into. You simple pour the cap of detergent into the drawer of your washing machine and let it work it's magic.

The smell is intense, fruity and fresh .. reminds me of a summers day, cooling cocktails breezy and revitalising. The scent is dominantly fruity, oranges and peaches sort of smell with a light and airy floral fragrance mixed in slightly, very nice indeed!

I couldnt wait for the load to finish, and once it had I could still smell that stunningly fruity scent, unfortunately though it hadn't quite cleaned what I'd needed it too! Claiming that this is small and 'mighty' is a bit misleading if you ask me as it didn't seem to lift any marks at all, the easiest of marks that seem to come off with lower brands of detergent and powders still remained on my washing. My clothes did smell lovely and felt quite soft, but I wanted them clean too as that is what detergents are meant to do but this just didn't follow through for me unfortunately. It is a shame as the smell is beautiful but I need a detergent that will clean my clothes, especially with having twin toddlers.

Summary: A fruity fragranced liquid that doesnt do it's job!
