I am really impressed with this stuff. The first time I tried it, I thought it sucked, but after I heard something and re-read the instructions (and yes they do say to dissolve the powder first), I now have a heap made up in an old milk bottle in the laundry and have started using it on my FB. It's great!  Just 3 washes later and I've noticed a huge difference in the lingering odors from the nappy inserts  (I had already changed to Persil, done a couple of strips, done hot washes... and my DH was complaining about the smell and nothing changing  ).
So big ups to ecostore washing powder!  -------------  |

youre meant to dissolve it first???? I havent read the instructions. I love it too. I used it for a while and then thought "nah I dont need this" and went back to something else. I hated it and felt I was using SOOOOO much powder and I think it made me itchy. I bought more ecostore as I wanted to wash some baby things and I am happy again!

I've just brought some ecostore, but I can't see where they say you should dissolve it first? ------------- A very lucky mummy to two gorgeous boys: RB 3/10/2008 JB 29/12/2009 |

I have just checked my pack (haven't even used it yet) and it just says "Don't put powder directly onto clothes", so I guess you could have to dissolve it first?
My free sample that I got in the ReachMe pack says on the back "Always dissolve powder before adding clothes" Guess I better try and see what happens... ------------- Mum to two beautiful kids

| We chucked our box out so looked on one in supermarket but couldn't find where it said to dissolve it - we just put the scoop down centre of washing machine so its not directly on clothes. Where do you put it when its in a liquid form-in the fabric softner dispenser? |

I have an old washing machine so I just put it where the powder would usually go, ie in the dispenser on top where the water pours into.
When I make up a bottle, I put 50/50 powder and cold water. The eco scoop is equal to a half surf/persil scoop so once made up with water, a persil scoop = 1 full load. One thing I learnt though is to never have the bottle more than 1/2 full or it becomes a mini explosive device ------------- |
