After needing a new washing machine at the start of the year, we decided that it would be best in the long run for our new washing machine if we used gels that went into the drum, rather than powder, as thats what clogged up our old washing machine leading it to break. So for a few months I was testing out different kinds, and soon realised they were a lot more pricey than my old washing powder and fabric softener! A few months ago, I stumbled across the Tesco 2-in-1 gels. At £2.19 for a 630ml bottle that does around 18 loads of washing, I thought they were quite cheap! There are 4 different types, blue for non bio, green for bio, purple for lavender, and ...  Read the complete review

After being recently enlightened to the delights of all in one washing liquid and gels, I am slowly making my way across various brands. This time my choice was a Tesco brand "Mandarin and Pomegranate 2in1 concentrated laundry gel". **PACKAGE** A solid colour white plastic bottle with two indentations on the front and back where stickers are to inform you about the product. Rising up the one side is a clear line, which is to allow you to see how much of the gel remains . A fantastic idea as you can see without hazarding a guess at what is left by holding and shaking the bottle. On top is a bright orange thinner plastic top, this is a ...  Read the complete review

Tesco Laundry Gel 2 In 1 Lavender Some items I can't compromise on in the supermarket, particularly when it comes to food products. However with toiletries and kitchen items I like to get good value for money and so decided to try Tesco's own Laundry Gel 2 In 1, in Lavender flavour. The Pack The laundry gel comes in a recyclable plastic container in much the same design as all laundry gels come in. The plastic is quite thick and oval in shape with a flat top and bottom to stand upright on. On the top is the lid which also doubles as the gel container during washes. The overall colour of the tub is white, with a purple sticker with ...  Read the complete review

Looking for a way to reduce my laundry bills I had started using the Enrituals brand from Tesco. When I last went to buy laundry detergent the Enrituals brand were not in stock so I plumped for Tesco 2 in 1 Gel in Mandarin scent. The Tesco 2 in 1 Gel comes in a few other variants but I found the colour of the Manadarin gel most attractive. The bottle is very similar in design to Bold branded gel's and priced at £1.99 for 18 washes it seems a more pocket friendly choice. The bottle tells me that it is luxuriously soft & bursting with fruity fragrance, this combined with the picture of juicy looking Mandarins on the front soon had me popping it in my ...  Read the complete review

I am a massive fan of using the shops own brand products. I even buy the basics style ones. This is one product though that doesnt work as it should in my opinion. It is a 2 in 1 so it has both the detergent and the conditioner in a gel format. The gel is quite thick and sticky if you get it on your fingers, and is purple in colour like the lid. The lid also is the holder to squeeze the gel into, then put it directly into the drum. You can put it in the drawer as well but its fine for it to balance on the pile of clothes as it all gets churned up anyway. I have found that although the detergent works fine and my clothes were cleaned, they were not ...  Read the complete review
