    I had a thread on this. Totally agree.

    No suds whatsoever. The new concentrates sucks. I have to use 2 scoops to get some suds.

    Yep, I find it's the same for many 'concentrates' I'd stick to the usual strength but reinforce it yourself with bicarb and vinegar.

    BTW check out my gallery HERE to see how buy my laundry powder: 20kg bag of OMO... ends up being about $2.40 a kilo. Lasts about 4/5 months. Only way to go if you are a large family.

    There's a place in Brunswick Melbourne that sells bulk goods to restuarants (and the public) called Bass Foods. They have a good website. We go there about 3 times a year for our OMO amongst other things. Been doing it for about 5 years now. Saved a small fortune. Very happy with the OMO btw.

    LOL. That is written in Turkish.

    How much bicarb and vinegar do you add to the 20kgs? Do you mix it as you need it or mix the whole 20kgs at once??

    I just add them as i do each wash... I don't need to add them to my DH's business shirts load because they don't get very dirty... mainly add it to the kids loads that are heavily soiled.

    Also the OMO used to come in big buckets ... I store the powder in that so it's moisture proof... important when you need to store it for several months. I make the transfer as soon as I open the bag then chuck it out.

    ETA: make sure you buy homebrand vinegar to keep down costs.

    Sounds logical Baths.

    How much bicarb and vinegar is added per scoop of Omo?
