I've bought liquid Persil Top Loader Sensitive - let's give that a shot!  Was tempted to buy their "high performance" one - but what additional chemicals it might have, who knows?

I washed the washing machine physically using a pot scrub and a bottle brush to get inside the agitator (it had some sort of schunge in there ).  I washed and rinsed all the removable parts.  Then I put through a hot empty wash.  When filled with hot water I put in some vinegar (about half a bottle) and a good handful of baking soda.  Not working off any recipe here but knew there was enough baking soda/vinegar when the water starting fizzing slightly. 

Would be interested in home made washing powder recipes - I'm going to Bin Inn tomorrow.

I use liquid detergent for baby clothes but since we are in aussie it is prob not the same as in NZ.
I know when consumer did a report on detergent, Reflect was the one that came out on top, cheaper than the others too....that's what i used to use in nz all the time, over here it is called something else...
Over in the UK they have these little cbes like dishwasher tablets that you use in the washing machine..they are funky!
How do you clean a front loader...like where do you put the cleaning things...I didn't know I was supposed to clean it either and I am 34! hehe.

I just noticied an advert on TV this morning for persil. With every specially marked pack you buy you get a free pumpkin patch t-shirt.

Details are here.

Could be a good time to try Persil if you were thinking about it!
