Who knew such strong feelings came with detergent dosing devices.

I do not understand why anybody would need those!! The scoop is way too big, you need a third of that and you don't need the ball to pour a tiny bit in washing machine. I think these are given for people to use way too much detergent and therefore buy it more often. I'm boycotting them.

Many thx

Where did you get your expertise in what other people may or may not need? :neutral_face:

just dont be a marketing victim!!

Marketing victim again... sighs

I am not a victim of anything! I just want a thing that I can put in my washing machine to wash my clothes!!!:smirk:

pour it in on the clothes hahaha so obvious it's funny

That's one of the most ludicrous things I have ever read! I want even spread of my laundry detergent & not just one garment to absorb it all. :neutral_face:

it wouldnt... but I was going to suggest to pour it in the detergent drawer like a normal person but thought.... she wont do that haha

I thought the scoop thing comes with it everytime u buy a new box have things changed these days

You have NO idea of what people need or want! Unless you took a course or degree or some anonymous thing!!! I use liquid detergents and prefer to put it IN a ball IN my washing machine. :neutral_face:

I used to do that but have found that my clothes smell even more amazing when I place my detergent / conditioners into a ball INTO my washing machine drum! You clearly have some unresolved issues in your life & you are using this forum as an outlet! :smirk:

you can but you dont need to do that :smiley:

I'm glad to have helped, I dislike people being marketing victims... you're very welcome sweetie.

Keep on topic, please folks :smiley:

Who knew such strong feelings came with detergent dosing devices.

I remember the good ole days when these were free in a box of soap.

Jeez, it's a free measuring jug, you don't have to use it for Persil!

We used to use standard powders...used to get the really large boxes of powders from Makro.

Now we use the balls that come with liquid detergent in the drum for around the past year and a half. Over the past month (drainage is plumbed through waste pipe of kitchen sink) there has been a horrible sulphur smell wafting through the sink plug hole...after google researching it was of no surprise that it is a common problem with using liquid detergent in the drum, particularly with low 30-40 degree wash cycles.

Only 2 days ago did I do a couple of doses of recommended soda crystals in the drum on the highest temperature wash cycle (90C) our machine allows to help remove bacteria and grease residue that builds up from the liquid detergent and low temperature washing.

Never ever did a recommended once monthly maintenance high temperature wash on our old washing machine which we used for 12 years and still was going strong when given to a friend, and only ever used wash powder in that....and not once had any problems with smell, and plumbed into exactly the same sink. Liquid detergents leave residue and subsequently require more maintenance.

correct but I clean my washing machine differently, hot cycle with vinegar, weekly. no smell!

in fact you can just pour vinegar with detergent in drawer, cleans and doesnt leave any smell

White vinegar not malt I hope :smile:

Going to go round the rubber door seal with white vinegar, it is useful for those that use the drawer too for cleaning it.

Duh...don't think this missus would be impressed if I measured oil and the like out using the washing machine!

Even now someone is urgently awaiting one of these to store next to their Amazon Dash tag. Who is this person and how can I exploit their willingness to waste money?

Use these for cooking bit too big for washing powder

Thanks, I was waiting for this one to return, its very handy, thank you :smiley:

cheapest white vinegar from asda yep

I prefer doctors :smiley:

ah so you use it for cooking, fair enough

Lol I don't need it haha

oh my jeezus what a lot of noise over a measuring cup/ball! i've ordered one as they're handy things to have around the house (the childling likes to play with them so i'm forever hunting for them).

whether you use it for the washing machine, something else, or just don't get the point of them at all..who are we to tell anyone else what they should need or be using/not using? i find them useful. i may not NEED it but anything that is useful or makes my life easier/quicker even the tiniest bit is worth it in my book

Thanks OP for the post. I don't understand why people are so against this. The makers of Persil aren't gonna sit by your side and watch you use the scoop so you can do whatever ya want with it

I like it. I am getting it. Thanks for posting.

You use more persil when you use the persil scoop as an aid whilst cooking?!? How very bizarre.... i am not sure whether you are genuinely so obsessed with putting persil down or just trolling. Either way... as has been stated you don't have to use it for you washing!

You obviously misunderstood all of it. Now who's trolling.Read with my very first comment again. Marketing victims.

I fed the troll too much... ahhh

Oh do pipe down,. Jasmine. Even a moderator on here told you to shhhh! Jeez. Just don't get one if you have no use for it. I feel that you are so hell bent on telling others what to do and what they need as you have so little control of your own life. :confused:

I can make my own mind up, you riled-up fool.

These never arrive, not that you need them anyway.
