Is Bold 2in1 Still ok to use?

Postby Asta » Thu Jul 14, 2011 9:33 am

I swtiched from using Bold 2 in 1 about a year ago as I read somewhere that they'd changed it and it was no longer any good for nappies but I see some people are still using it, is it ok to use again now? It was by far the best I've used, I didn't get any build up issues with it where I am now with tesco powder.

Alternatively what would you recommend for a very hard water area? Is Ariel supposed to be good?

I use Bold 2 in 1 after i got smelly nappies with Ariel. Its really not as good and it more expencive! How does that work? Im in a very hard water area and its fine for me, i also add some bicarb or soda crystals too x

There is a bold 2-in-1 that isn't ok to use. It's called infusions or something along those lines.

oh right so the standard blue box one is ok to use? Mummyclo, do you mean Ariel isn't so good?

I thought soda crystals were bad for the nappies :-?

Ive always put soda crystals in everything..maybe i overdo it! I did mean ariel wasn't so good for me no. But its different for different people i suppose. I think the blue one is lilly or something flavour? Thats the one i have. x

how much soda crystals do you add? Do you just add them with the powder? I might try that as well.

I use them in every wash, no idea how much though because I just chuck it in with the powder but it's sometimes up to half & half. I use more for a strip wash though.

I've been using Ariel for over a year and haven't had to strip the nappies at all. :)
