So, the executive decision (made by yours truly) was to only use our supply for our (note the "our") sheets where one really can smell the difference. For the rest of the laundry (meaing almost everything) we tried Persil (the repair man said his wife uses it). It may clean OK and is good for the machine but it's quite awful as far as the "fragrance" goes. It's so powerful that we get a lot of complaints. We too tried (as of last night) the Maxima in the purple bottle. It's not cheap but smell is important.

We stated out with liquid Ariel which cleans well but I found the whole house smelled of its very strong but not bad smell. We have now tried Sano Maxima in a purple bottle and it seems to clean and it does not have such an overpowering smell. One does have to adjust the amount to use by almost double since our machines are twice as big.<BR/><BR/>Happy Laundry<BR/>RTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
