Washing with Borax and Bicarb, TV stuff too…..

Posted by Andy Hamilton - 15/09/08 at 09:09:28 pm

Well I carried on my quest for the perfect eco wash today and used two teaspoons of domestic Borax powder and two of Bicarbonate of soda. I must admit the results were not that great the item I looked at to test the wash this time was a white shirt that I had worn on Dave’s allotment.

It came out with dirt still on it! I am not sure if I need to up the dose. The Duvet cover seemed alright though and looks and smells clean. I wonder if I would have got the same results if I had of used nothing though.

4/10 but need to up the amount from two teaspoons of each.

So to recap

• Soap Nuts – not bad for everyday but fails to really clean mucky clothes.  – 5/10
• Alma Win – Cleanut laundry Detergent. -An improvement on above, still does not remove the most stubborn stains. However, it does warn this on the packaging. 6/10 (I might even push up to a 7 on a good day.
• Bio D Non Biological Washing Powder best so far 7.5 out of ten

Other News – TV stuff

We did some filming at the weekend with BBC inside out west They were a great bunch to work with and it was a real good laugh. I think it will be broadcast next month on local BBC west country not sure if they have a watch again thing will post it if they do.

Also had a call today from a TV company in Ireland who are filming something for RTE one of the national channels over there. Apparently they want to film something in a few weeks and have us appear on a show, been down this road before with the Paul O’grady show, we even filmed all day and it was cut at the last moment after telling all of our friends so I won’t be daft this time and announce it publicly. Definitely keep all TV stuff to myself from now on.
