Probably aldi must sell their own version, I would think.
I never find Astonish stuff very astonishing.

True! I don’t think Vanish is as good as Biotex. I’m now soaking tea towels in Vanish and bleach which is working. Mostly the bleach I suspect

Well, I think I need to get some of that, then.
I always found Ariel soap powder enough, but nothing seems to work as it did in the "olden days".

I use Vanish, powder in the washing machine with kitchen towels dishcloths etc and Vanish stick on stains on clothes, a splash of curry or tomato soup, it evens remove blood stains.

I've just checked and it says unavailable to me, too.
Hmmm..
I shall think of somewhere else.

I wonder if places like B&M sell it?

It says not currently available

Sainsbury, apparently. £2.

I wonder if poundland or B & M sell it?

Maggierose Wed 20-Apr-22 15:35:19

Wow, £24.99 a packet! Still at least it’s still being made. Not going to pay that price though. If ever I find myself in Germany I’ll be bringing some home in my luggage.

I used to soak Terry nappies in it.

Maggierose Wed 20-Apr-22 07:25:05

Yes, I bought my last lot from Amazon but they don’t sell it anymore. Must be a discontinued brand. Shame as it was great on stains. I always soaked my tea towels in it.

I got my lot from Amazon. Bought about 6 boxes in a pack.

Maggierose Mon 18-Apr-22 13:18:50

Whatever happened to Biotex? Can’t find it anywhere. Is it a vanished brand? What do you use instead?
