Trouble with the washing machine.

So far no floods or power cuts. I have remembered to only use one appliance at a time.

The other day when I had washed my new combat trousers they came out looking bleached.
Kirsten pointed out the washing liquid & I thought fabric softer. Well this ACE stuff smelt OK but I just didn't think it was fabric soften. But I used it.

I did look in the supermarket & the stuff was with the softeners.

Last time I was in Billa I was looking at it again & an old Venetian lady took the top off a pink one & had me smelling it. Rosa, bellisimma. I asked about this Ace stuff. No it wasn't fabric softener - it contained bleach or ammonia!!!! I think she said it was a floor cleaner!! I have had it in the washing machine!!! No wonder my combats had faded. No doubt the rest of my clothes will disintegrate.

Another lady joined us. Further discussions on fabric softener. Yes the rosa was good but this one, I had to smell it, is much more bellisimma. Cocomut fragrance.

I am now fully conversant in ALL Italian fabric softener.

But why is floor cleaner with the fabric softeners. Not worked that one out yet. It is the same in three supermarkets.
