OK … I’ll be interested in your opinion … 
Persil powder for me, its the only one Ive not become allergic too over the years
never use softener , white vinegar works better, doesn’t coat the fibres and keeps the machine nicely clean and sweet smelling
I see you found your excitement. 
I use whatever non bio powder is on offer, either Sainsbury’s own or Surf, whatever. I usually use Sainsbury’s own fabric conditioner but I water it down, really don’t need it full strength. I find the fragrance of some powders migraine inducing, especially the all-in-one conditioner ones, (Bold?) really makes me feel quite ill.
I stopped using liquid regularly as it builds up in the machine and makes it smell, even with a fairly frequent machine wash cycle. Our water is very soft, not sure if this has a bearing but I know others in hard water areas have had the same problem with only using liquids. Interesting about the vinegar, Jean, might try that, do you just pour it into the conditioner bit?
I still do use liquid detergent occasionally though especially on dark washable woolies so I don’t get specs of powder.

I don’t think we have Fairy Wash here in the states?
I use Arm & Hammer with Oxiclean…no harsh smell, easy on the sensitive skin.
Almost sounds like a “big boy” product, but no worries, I can handle it.

I heard that whisper, and any pear/pair even pared down I like.
Not so deep anyone is in danger of drowning. I like that even better…

You certainly know how to get a gal’s attention and appreciate the softer side of a man.
Don’t suppose it has anything to do with “it’ll all come out in the wash”?
