Washing Liquitabs

[Donmar]

Does anyone have problems using F***y liquitabs for washing? If so, do you have my problem - in that the liquitab finds its way to front of washing door and sits on top of the door seal thus doesn't get distributed in machine to wash the clothes. I mostly use 40 degree cotton wash. Tried the manufacturer and P&G (soap producer) and they've never heard of it! Surely I'm not the only person, especially since I changed my old Bosch for a new one a year ago 'cos I thought the old one was giving up!! Any tips? Thanks in anticipation

I have a box gathering dust in the cupboard. The most annoying thing for me was find a plasticky deposit attached to clothing.

I'll stick to my Ariel powder tablets.

Thanks EC. Judging by the related answers appearing under my question and your answer, there are many peoploe who have the problemm - an d the answer is to change the brand - pity, I've used Fairy for years and the liquitabs were easier to dstore than the powder. Maybe it's time for a change. Do hope your M&S experience wasn't too offputting!

I used to have this problem, found if I put the capsule in first and made sure it was at the back of the drum, it melted before it got to the front.

When I saw and contemplated them in the supermarket aisle they seemed to expensive per wash to buy :-(

on the back of the pack it tells you to put it in first, before the washing - do you do that?

[Georgiesmum]

Ive never had this problem. I make sure the capsule is at the back of the drum then put the washing on top of it afterwards.Is that what you do, or do you throw it in after the washing is loaded in the machine?

I noticed this happen with one last week but after a while the sheets in the machine swept it back in. Checked it all after and it seemed to have all dissolved properly.

I followed the instructions and still found sticky deposits as did a friend of mine.

My liquid abs are now an emergency back up....that will never be needed as I buy Ariel tablets in bulk at Costco.

Perhaps I'll use them for cleaning teapots, sinks and the like......

It tells you in the directions to put it in the bottom of the washer before you put the clothes in. I'm interested in this because I have just bought a large box of Fairy liquitabs and I hate wasting things. I am a real scrooge when it comes to wasting. Rather give it away than throw it away. I bought these because I am too lazy to measure things out and I thought, oh good, already done for me. Serves me right if it goes wrong, for being lazy!!

Same problem of leaving a deposit on the clothes. OH has returned to liquids and problem has disappeared!!
