I have set up this topic for posting items of interest but possibly not concerning, so that I can add a subject I just came across to get it going! Add in anything you find that had never occurred to you

I couldn't believe how complex the answer to my simple question: What is in Ariel Washing Liquid?

Good grief No sign of soap

How on earth did they come up with needing to add so many chemicals, was it everything they had in a lab ? Maybe they kept adding stuff until it cleaned clothes. They do not know how to spell sulphuric acid, using sulfuric acid and does it ruin clothes ? The sewage works must have a nightmare treating all these chemicals and hopefully the rinsing in the washer removes them from clothes. When doing a handwash full PPE might be needed.

A classic case of greed over need methinks!! In the ongoing war against competitors they have to keep coming up with new ideas which I daresay always result in adding things rather than replacing things to keep the number of ingredients to a manageable size!!

The only thing I use is Soda Crystals, (Sodium Carbonate) with white vinegar as a fabric conditioner.
