If you are someone who loves to have a floral or fruity smell radiating from your clothes, then you should try out Surf and Fairy. Persil seems to be somewhere in the middle, so if you’re undecided then that may be the best option for you. He said: “This post has caused a lot of excitement among our members. I haven’t been able to establish whether Superdrug definitely offers a free sample of perfume if you buy an Ice Pod, if you need to buy a full-size perfume to qualify or if the offer is valid in select stores only. Once upon a time, liquid detergent bottles were made of plastic that could not be recycled and just ended up in landfill. And if you're anything like us, your favourite perfume is kept for special occasions to make it go further. If you have a sensitive nose and prefer a milder scent, then Bold and Ariel would most likely be your best options.

However, it is worth noting that when compared to liquid and powder detergents, these can prove to be more expensive per load. If you’re washing a bigger load, have hard water or your laundry is very dirty, you would achieve better results using two pods. On the other hand, powder detergents can struggle to dissolve in cold water washes, which ends up leaving behind a nasty residue on laundry. If you have sensitive skin and find that you are feeling itchy or uncomfortable when wearing clothes that have just come out of the wash, you may be having a reaction to the washing detergent. Generally speaking, liquid laundry detergent is cheaper per wash than single use pods are. It also has the added benefit that it can be used as a pre-treatment or for spot cleaning fabrics.Abby P added: “We sell [ice pods] but don’t fill them, that’s only set stores.” Emma J replied saying: “Apparently it’s all stores.” This depends on a variety of factors, including the type of pods you are using, how hard the water is in your area, how big the load is, and how dirty the laundry is.

However, there are fewer and fewer types of powdered detergent available in some stores as more households swap to using either liquids or pods.

Transform with scent anywhere

Today, there are even versions of each type of detergent that are allergy friendly, suitable for washing on low temperatures and more. Today, fortunately, many bottles can be recycled and some are even made from recycled plastics or eco-friendly alternatives. Fairy’s Non-Bio laundry pods are an excellent option for a milder detergent, as they are designed for people with more sensitive skin. They have even been given the seal of approval from the British Allergy Foundation.
