Hi

My dear old Mum decades ago used to use a washing powder with enzymes in it. Maybe it was called Ariel.

She used to say you just soak overnight and in the morning a quick squeeze out........she'd say it "washes itself". And it did.

Is this stuff available on the shelves?

Hi Donny

actually I do read Thai in a modest way, and that product's called เปา or "Bpow". I guess the makers Lion, which i think is "Sing".

You're correct it does have the same main enzyme as Mum's Ariel.

Thanx.

Any more input greatly appreciated. Not sure if I want the other things they have in the Bpow which is for coloureds. I'm gradually having a new set of shirts made and I'd like to have one for whites which maybe has a touch of bleach. Not to mention the local laundry really doesn't do a good job on stains on older whites and they need doing at home occasionally.

I bought some new stuff (sorry John, I didn't save the pack) that claims a sort of "nanotechnology"

Don't laugh, just yet.

Apparently it has some silver (silver halide?) ingredient that has an anti-microbial function.

As in kills bacteria, molds/fungi, etc.

Costs about the same as the other types, smells good; works for me....

Used it about a month now on the small hand washables (socks, dish towels) that I don't send to the laundry lady.

Will come up with the name next time I buy some....

Hello Mc G!

I'm not a fan of antimicrobials it means when you lose your resistance doesn't it?

.Sainsbury's used to make cutting boards and fridge containers and everything out of them.

I used to go to a very posh Indian restaurant which had silver leaf in the ice cream though.......

cheers John
