Washing powders give another fine example of paying for a name. I use the Tescos 2in1 washing powder for my clothes, and find it no less effective than any other washing powder with a famous brand name. I find that the Tescos washing powder washes my clothes very well and leaves them feeling good too. Why do people use the expensive brands when they can have the same result with the cheaper ones? Admittedly, I do use a little fabric conditioner just to give my clothes a little extra softness, but then who doesn't, even with the top brands?? ...  Read the complete review

This review is for the 2-in-1 laundry tablets. That is, laundry tablets with both detergent and conditioner in. Generally I use liquid detergent, and use a separate conditioner if I think the washing will go on the line - I don't bother with it if I'll be using the tumble drier.

This is ideal for people who have to budget their monthly shopping as a student I have been there !!!! The powder is a 2 in 1 detergent with fabric softner in a groovy yellow box and the best bit is the price , only 1.88 !!!!

Although if i'd have used a seperate softner i wqould have expected the towels to have been softer , but there wasn't any noticeable difference with my clothes . It's ideal when you run out of detergent and don't ...  Read the complete review

I've got four kids and so have to deal with tough stains on a daily basis - but I don't like to pay over the odds. So, I like to use shops own brand when it performs well, and obviously if the washing powder cuts out the need for fabric softener - so much the better. I used to be a real fan of the Tesco 2-in-1powder. It got clothes clean, at least as good as the (much more expensive) brands, left clothes soft and smelt really nice. However, my last few purchases have really disappointed me. The cleaning and softening weren't up to scratch and the powder was all lumpy and wouldn't pour. I also do shopping at Asda and have found their ...  Read the complete review
