Washing pods

Calistemon

I stopped using them ages ago, after I heard of a child who swallowed one.

They are dangerous things.

Yes, as are dishwasher tablets.

For the first time in years I bought washing powder this month instead of liquid.. same brand same 'perfume' and noticed today that the faint grey/black spots I have fought with on the inside of the door seal have vanished!
Think I will be sticking with the powder.

I stopped using them in favour of powder when I read somewhere that the pods left plastic residue molecules in our water system.

I stopped using them a couple of years ago, after reading how they clog up the machine with gunk. As I saw for myself, after doing a recommended 90 deg empty ‘wash’ with just soda crystals.
The amount of dirty, grey looking foam that appeared was shocking. There was still some with a 2nd ditto wash.

Just powder now, and soda crystals, since we’re in a hard water area.
The powder used to get a bit damp and lumpy sometimes, so I now transfer it to a lidded plastic tub.
That’s far less plastic than when I used to buy the pods, though.

I stopped using them years ago as they only seem to get stuck in the rim of the door

Yes, I think if they get wet it breaks down the plastic casing. Mine are on the windowsill in a cold utility room and I wondered whether they were getting damp. Either that or the plastic is made thinner now.

Sorry, can’t help as I’m totally against washing pods. I use washing sheets
