Product Information

One thing worth mentioning, however, is that the Serie 6 won’t achieve the same level of wash performance when using the i-Dos feature – and nor will any of the Bosch machines with the feature. This is because liquid detergent does not – and can not – contain bleaching agents. If you want the whitest whites and the most powerful stain-removing performance possible, you’ll need to use washing powder and that means adding it manually before every wash. It is a pity that the machine falls down a little on repairability with a sealed drum unit and door – this means you’ll need to buy whole new units if just one component part of either breaks. If this model had a splittable tank, door and so forth, it’d be set to last for many, many years with the occasional repair and part replacement. Nowadays, however, there are few if any machines on the market which are fully repairable, so we can’t be too hard on Bosch in this regard.

My husband and I jog regularly, so there are a lot of sports gear to be washed in addition to everyday clothes. On holiday, we used my mother’s machine in between two destinations, which proved hugely inefficient because we didn’t have much time and the machine was smaller. It made me appreciate our Miele much more.Whether you call them washing tablets or capsules this more modern (by detergent standards) way to wash your clothes is very popular with people from all walks of life. While they are usually the most expensive detergent variant on average they are also the easiest to measure because the tablets are designed to have the correct amount already.

Now, of course, there’s some variation to that statement you need to know what clothes can go in safely together for one thing. And you need to know what settings will work with what clothes and how to safely load your washing machine as well. But that will all come with time but if there’s one thing that won’t it’s the washing powder. The size of the washing load. Detergent dosage instructions are based upon a washing machine's drum size, and for good reason. The larger the washing load, the more dirt introduced and therefore the more detergent that's needed to remove it. If your clothes are more heavily soiled, then the average dose needed for a thorough clean is going to be around 50ml on average. However, for a more general wash, you should be fine with a 30 – 35ml amount of detergent per wash. Because liquid detergent is a lot more concentrated than washing powder you can get away with using less per wash. Washing Capsules/ Tablets Using a washing machine to do the laundry is an unfortunate fact of life I am afraid, it’s just something we’ve got to do. But while it isn’t really much fun the good news is it’s usually pretty simple.

Biological powders contain enzymes that break down fat, grease and starch, which are often the culprits for the toughest stains. However, some people find these irritate the skin and can leave colours looking a little muted. When you dose incorrectly, not only do you run the risk of wasting laundry detergent, but your clothes may not be cleaned to the standard you expect. Too much laundry detergent and residue can be left behind on your clothes. Too little and they may not be perfectly cleaned. Liquid detergents may be more pricey (on average) but they do usually feature conditioner as well, so you’ll get softer clothes with every wash. However, knowing how much to use per wash is still going to be a problem for most people but we can help.

Bide is as eco-friendly as it is non-toxic, plant-based and refillable. In fact, this is made from just four ingredients so you can be certain there are no nasties here. The products are also handmade by a home-manufacturing team (each bag has a label telling you who it’s made by), and the company employ people who have been marginalised, working alongside charities to match with suitable employees.

Washing Powder Guidelines

If it lasts as long as my previous Miele washing machine (11 years), then the Miele W1 WSG363 offers great value for money. My husband and I went for a cheaper make and model when we bought our first washing machine together, but we regretted because our laundry was never really clean. Since upgrading to the Miele, we are so much happier with the results of the washing process. Because we use a lot of non-bio laundry detergent due to sensitive skin issues in our household, the Miele manages to clean our clothes well irrespective of the type of washing powder or liquid we use.
