    DH just bought the washing liquid. I wonder if that would be the same? Thanks for the warning though. Glad it only cost you $75 and not a new motor or machine.

    I don't use it... only use Eco Store. But what was it doing to cause your machine to play up??

    good question helle ... he said cause of all the soap suds around the motor it was stopping the motor from working therefore the 'ticking noise' was the washing timer knob trying to work and turn but couldn't as the motor couldn't work (hope that makes sense) !

    CeCe i asked him if he meant dishwashing liquid as my friend uses it and he said not to use any of them, he didn't explain why but OMG he was totally against Aldi washing products !

    In his words he said " I have no idea what's in them but OMG i have seen some damaged " !

    What a shame as i absolutely loved the smell of the washing powder

    (sorry CeCe)

    How strange! Makes you wonder tho, if it can potentially kill your machine what could it do to your skin!?

    So true helle .... Interesting enough my skin was fine with it washing my clothes but i couldn't stand it in my bedsheets as my skin was totally irritated, i just thought it was my skin acting up as it can but never as bad as this so once i stopped using it my bedsheets didn't irritate me anymore !
