Okay, this might have been obvious to some people, but I was looking at the back of my Fairy detergent tablets yesterday and they were suggesting I use 2 or 3 in each wash. I started to wonder what would happen if I totally rebelled and used 1 tablet instead. This might shock you, but the result was exactly the same! Clean and fresh clothes! I feel I have been duped for so long!
I then put everything on a quick wash with 1 tablet and again everything came out fine. No stains, no smells. In fact everything was fresh as a daisy. So not only have I halved my detergent bill, but also my washing time, not to mention the savings on electric. My washing machine doesn't have a cold setting so this is the next best thing.
I guess I just got stuck in the routine of using the same cycle with the recommended amount of detergent without really thinking what I was doing. Well, hope this helps someone!
