A chemists?

[Hettster]

I have tried Boots and LLoyds and the Co-op none of which sell it . . . .

[NazNomad]

Did you look on the shelf or ask the actual Pharmacist if they can get it for you?

[Hettster]

NazNomad I asked the pharmacist in each one

[NazNomad]

Can I ask what you're going to use it for?

[Hettster]

I wanted to try making my own detergent

I'd get it from my Pharmacy, but if you can't get it locally, online is your next best option.

I get mine from a shop that used to be called A-Z, similar to the pound shop. It changed its name to Nik Nax but I don't know if it's local or countrywide, sorry.

I make my own washing powder. I don't bother turning it into liquid. It takes forever to grate the soap by hand - much quicker and easier to do it in a food blender. Chop the soap into small pieces first.

Have you tried Wilkinson's? They certainly used to sell it. Enter your postcode here
