I've heard before that laundry balls aren't very effective.. the eco liquid seems good but quite fresh smelling enough for me. The idea of things smelling fresh just because there is perfume in it reminds me of Elizabethan ladies who were filthy and foetid but disguised the smell with all sorts of nasty concoctions...
I'm getting more and more suspicious of all sorts of products now. I found out the other week that there is formaldehyde in Johnsons Baby Shampoo!!!
Er, do you realise this comment can be read as "you use scented detergent therefore you must be a smelly unclean person masking dirt and filth with fragrance"?
:-)
Mind you, I suspect that's what the manufacturors of things like Febreeze have in mind, that seems such a daft idea, as well as those Glade plug-in things that fill the house constantly with chemicals, a clean house really shouldn't smell!
errrr, yes, I suppose it could be read that way, but I meant more.. why, if you're clean ANYWAY (which one assumes you would be, given that the scent was introduced by laundry products), would you want to mask the actual CLEAN smell with perfume?
Febreze.. yeah, I totally agree but I have to admit to using the stuff when the cat has done something it shouldn't. Sometimes it takes a while before I can clean, say, a 20tog king sized duvet effectively...
it's what she does when she's in season, occasionally.
Yes, detergent has to smell of something, but can't it just smell of itself (as in, the ingredients that actually DO something) rather than having extra smells? ...I can see we're not really going to agree on this are we!
They received a letter of complaint about that very fact soon after the product was invented from a Mrs M Garine of Portsmouth complaining people were suddenly making fun of her..

Icky cat, for sure. I'm glad ours aren't allowed in the bedrooms (though they do try, obviously, being cats! :) )
