    I put about 2 tablespoon of vinegar in the softener dispenser part of my top loading machine then add about 1 level tablespoon (sometimes a bit less) of bicarb as the machine is filling up (soon after I add the OMO). You can also buy bicarb soda in bulk quantities which keeps costs down.

    This OMO product wouldn't be suitable for toploaders I don't think although I'm not 100% certain. I know that there is a thread about how the vinegar part is more important for front loaders to reduce the smell that is common with that type of machine.

    I'm gonna buy some of that Omo and do what you do Baths, thanks so much for the tip.

    All it says is that the detergent is for handwashing and the OMO slogan in Turkey which is "getting dirty is beautiful"

    Tinks - ALL washing machines in Turkey is the front loader type. So, it may be ok to use.

    Ta TD Yep, and you could be right about it being ok for front loaders because it doesn't generate that many suds compared to some powders... but this isn't a bad thing... the cleaning results are excellent. Is the suds thing the main issue with front loaders? I assume they are like a dishwasher and need to have good cleaning with low suds?

    Yep Baths, i think it is a suds issue.

    How much do you pay for 20kg bag? Just that i've seen it at a Turkish delicatessen in Dandenong which stock it, but am unsure of the price.

    The price can really vary... but usually works out to be between $2.40 and $2.70 per kilo. I don't think it's ever got as high as $3.00 per kilo. I haven't got a calculator handy but obviously $2.40 x 20 and you will get the price. My haphazard mental arithmatic says about $48 per bag but I also recall paying less than that so i could be wrong...
