An incredibly boring request about fairy laundry tablets

I always used to use the tablets but use the gel capsules now and hadn't noticed that the tablets are not widely available.

What is wrong with the gels? What does the washing machine repair man say?
May have to have a rethink if they damage the machine

I use which ever powder is on offer.
Could you not use liquid if your man doesn't recommend gels.

Supermarket own brand liquid
I don't like powders too messy and the rest are all the same composition as far as I can see.

I use gels for most things, but once a month do a 90 degree boil wash just to cut out any accumulated gunk caused by the gels.My machine is about 6 years old, but I use it a lot.I have never used any tabkets ( except for the dishwasher.)

Can't help as I use own brand liquid or gel tablets with a hot wash monthly, or to be honest when I remember . Washing machine is I don't know how many years old as we inherited it with our current home, seems to work well enough. Maybe try the liquid?

I don't use gel because we have very soft water so prefer to be able to regulate how much goes into the WM.

Marks & Spencer do non-bio washing tablets. They're v good and they come up on special,offer from time to time.

Is Fairy a Unilever product? There have been problems with them supplying Tesco and lots of Supermarkets. They tried putting up their prices and Tesco resisted.

try lidl tablets they are very good

Wilkinson stock them £6.

Don't worry about the 'man who fixes things' drawing in his teeth (unless he actually inhales them and then there's always the Heinrich Maneuver). The Fairy gels are on offer in Tesco for £6 for 38 - that's half price.

Amazingly Professor Heimlich had apparently never performed this life-saving manoeuvre himself before.

I have been unable to find them as well, so have changed to an eco liquid which is having really good results and is better for our septic tank! I have been very careful about which product to use since son had problems with reaction to powders as a child.
