Soda Crystals

I've not seen these sold in any of the main supermarkets round here. (Tescos, Sainsburys, Somerfield and Waitrose). Where do you get yours from?

Wilkos definitely do them. In my local one they are on the top shelf in the cleaning section.

Look on the bottom shelf or with the 'alternative' section of cleaning products - or even try a small, local shop. Mine has 'em. I think I'm probably the only person who buys 'em :lol:

It must be the larger supermarkets that do them. They're building a Wilcos near us so will look fwd to that opening :D

Our Tesco isn't that big. It doesn't do clothes or have a cafe or any other rubbish like that. The soda crystals are with the other cleaning stuff like bleach etc. They're usually on the bottom shelf so you can't see them without looking really hard (probably Tesco's hope you can't be bothered and buy something more expensive instead)

Yeah, actually you're right! Silly me. Similar but green I think.
