Mrs M

Just wondered if anyone can help with regard to washing powders? In the uk I use Aerial Colour liquid and powder but on a recent trip to aus did not see this brand. My problem is that I am very allergic to Persil (face/eyes swell up and terrible itching etc . Does anyone know if the makers of aerial make products that are sold in aus and under what name? Thank you.

always had problems with powders wherever we have been, kids eczema and allergies myself, started using aldis, almat powder a couple of years ago and its the best i;ve ever used, no problems with skin or allergies, they have aldi here so have been able to keep using it

Hi there ,i am quite sure OMO is persil here, I got an old work friend who works in a supermarker back home to check the international names of things as i used Ariel as well. They could not find that but as i said earlier OMO came back as persil, hope this helps.

you can also get OMO sensitive, for people with sensitive skin.

Theres also a liquid sold here called Purity, thats good for senssitive skin, and eczema. I can't use any powder, and even some liquids are dodgy, but Purity is OK for me.

we buy that one... although i hadn't a clue yesterday when dispatched to the shops with a list that had "wash powder" written on it
i'd forgotten my mobile and spent ages deliberating... "which box could i remember seeing at home...?"
now i know, lesson learnt! (there's a sub message here for wives sending their OH's to do the shopping... write down all the relevant details on the shopping list, no matter how trivial it may seem to you)

Fiona&malc

but i'll bet if she had written 'beer' on the list, you would have known exactly which brand to get, am i right?

gedge

if beer was on the weekly shop list i wouldn't any cause for complaint

Surely brand wouldn't matter too much then

Hi.......just found this website. Proctor and Gamble are the makers of Aeriel. This is a list of products that they sell globally and it could be you recognise a different brand name that you have seen in supermarkets.
If you can get Tide, try that it is always a nice one I find. Doesn't flare my sons excema......good luck Ems x

Mrs M

I would just like to say a big thank you to everyone who replied I will have a good look at the proctor and gamble website. But once again thank you for all your tips and help.

Hi, I too am allergic persil. but out here in Darwin so to be back in brissy I use OMO (Greenbox) and it smells nice and I have not had any allergic reaction. Hope this helps

Doesn't really matter too much as we haven't got any water left!

Top Tip, if you are in Adelaide (and many inland places especially if bore water) anything soap related needs to be in double doses due to high mineral content of water.
