Cold Power Advanced

Won't clean oil and smell out of clothes – Absolutely useless now ...it use to clean the engine oil and smell out of my clothes both in hot and cold wash but now it's just a waste of money and won't even clean grass stain out of the kids clothes ...... 100% CRAP Show details

Cold Power Advanced Clean – It has been such a great product up until recently. The clothes don't seem as clean or fresh, and residue of powder is left behind. I also never have a scoop in the box. It's very annoying. Will change products unless there is some sort of response and change to the product. Go back to the original. Regards Show details

Does not dissolve, residue in dispenser – On a long wash of cottons, at 60°C, this powder does not dissolve. I always use Cold Power, but this is the 2nd time I have accidentally bought this “Advanced” which is really crap. There is also no powder scoopin box. Show details

Cold power perfect for average wash ;) – I use to just use cheap aldi liquid but then cold power was half price on special so tried it. If you use 3 cap fulls in a wash you can see the white in socks and smell liquid in t shirts. Best part it reminds you to wash in cold every wash saving about a dollar in hot water each time.

Love this product BUT – I love the product and have been using it for a while now but I have noticed the last few containers I have bought the capsules have been stuck together a d when you try and separate them they end up leaking and you end up losing one each time or you need to wash with two. It has become a very expensive way to waah

An old stain gone! Thank you! – A favorite shirt got stain by chocolate in Hawaii and i try everything but the stain was still there like a shadow! One day while on trip to NZ i bought that soap! I then made a wash and while folding my shirt i was not sure and asked the person with me if they were seeing a stain a shadow! Nothing! Gone! I wish i could buy that soap here in Canada! Very cheap soap but it works! Too bad my reserve is gone!!  Show reply

No laundry scoop – Searched the entire box, even used a spoon to hit rock bottom. No measuring scoop in the box. Apparently product review needs min 30 words so here is the filler... No scoop.

Whites covered in brown flecks – Really disappointed washed whites and have all these little brown flecks on clothes! What is it? It does flake of as clothes dry but hardly a feature of Cold power I would suggest? Show details

Waste of money – For the price of this product, I am appalled. Does not dissolve AT ALL. I have powder over all my clothes and the laundry floor. Its everywhere. Rubbish product. Dont buy Show details

Not happy Jan!! – Doesn’t dissolve. Always finding bits of the powder on clothes ect Been using the sensitive powder. Thought I could trust the brand as it’s been around so long only to be disappointed. I’ve tried using warm water to still find it all over clothes.  Show details

Cold power test on animals – So disappointed to learn that Cold power and dynamo owned by Henkel (German company) test on animals. Do not buy this product and support cruel treatment of animals in Australia and overseas.  Show details

So bad on kids clothes! – We found a chunk of powder in our 1 year olds nose!! Cold Power needs a class action! What a horrible product that leaves powder chunks on all our clothes even after multiple washes to remove it!! We were also using ColdPower Sensitive! Avoid this product !! Especially if you have kids! Show details

Impossible to dissolve in water – Washes OK, but like every other review here my complaint is also the undissolved powder. I have used it for several years and it has gotten worse over time. I dissolve as much as I can in several buckets of water and it still leaves many granules undissolvable. I question are these additives low cost non detergents put in to add weight to increase… Read more

profit margins. Why else would you lessen the quality of a product. I will not be purchasing anymore.

Gone to the dogs – I've used Cold Power for years and not had an issue, however in the last say 6 months it is shocking. Clothes come out with white powder stains or specks of dried powder on them. I've tried pre mixing the powder with water before adding to the machine, but this makes no difference. Clearly a change in the product has been implemented to the detriment. I will not be purchasing Cold Power again. Show details

Was a good product but lately is not cleaning my clothes – Its not cleaning my clothes properly stains still there that should of come out was good once not now in my books.Maybe its changed ownership who knows but its not doing the job it used to do so i will be changing product Show details

Terrible!!! – I have used cold powder for long time and it was working perfectly but now oh!!!!!the powder never desolve with water properly and the cloths came out with stains!!!! Will never buy it again! Show details

Happy to read these reviews – I have been a loyal customer of Cold Power laundry powder for more than 20 years. Unfortunately the last two boxes (I think they are 5kg each) are a nightmare. The powder does not dissolve. Leaves the clothes full of white powder. After folding the dry clothes, it leaves a lot of powder on the laundry table. The dark clothes are full of white… Read more

patches. I started dissolving the powder in a bowl of hot water, first I leave the powder in the water for about 10 minutes and then I stir for another 10 minutes - no good results either. I purchased the liquid Cold power and I am using it for the clothes and the powder for the towels and tea towels. I don't know what else beside soap is in the mixture that doesn't dissolve......cardboard? I am inclined to believe they do the latter. I am happy to read all the reviews complaining about the same issue as it shows to me that my two boxes were not a bad batch, it is probably what they are manufacturing now. I hope Cold Power reads these reviews and take action.

Does not dissolve in cold water – Cold Power and Cold Power Sensitive is quite possibly the worse product I have ever used, it has just about wrecked our clothes, it does not dissolve in cold water or even hot water, it has left white marks and granules all over our clothes, absolute joke of a product, which I will be taking back for a refund.

Does not dissolve! – This review is for the 'Cold Power Sensitive Pure Clean' washing powder. What happened to this brand? I used to regularly use it many years ago with excellent results. Now, it's a rubbish product that does not dissolve. It defeats the purpose as it's marketed as a product to be used in cold water wash, yet it's incapable of dissolving and doing… Read more

its job in cold water - and this is in a top loader filled to the brim with water on a long double rinse cycle!!! Seeing how badly it leaves grains of residue all over the clothes, I wonder if it would even dissolve in hot water. Pathetic! Never buying this rubbish again.

Absolutely dissapointed – I thought that buying a product specifically for cold water washing would have been the way to go but unfortunately this product does not dissolve in cold water and leaves white dust and particles through my washing

Continues to disappoint – So many times I have purchased cold power products, only to be disappointed! Doesn't matter what temperatures I wash in always the same result. Big chunks of white powder all over my clothes. Change the name to the washing powder that makes you wash a load 5 times to remove powder!

To much fragrance – It is cheap and does a good job for the price. I cannot stand how the clothes smell afterwards, to much fragrance. I have a house with three males, which makes it even worse. I wish Cold Power would tone down the perfume side of their product.

Disappointed long time user – I have been using cold powder happily for many years .. but I have just bought my last box ever. New formula does not dissolve and all my close has white granules left over on clothes in every wash. Really disappointed.

itching rash your product is crap leaves gritty white grains over clothes – headline says it all this product is not up to scratch pardon the pun itching rash product does not fully dissolve leaving white granules all over clothes no fun washing clothes twice suggest recall on product no wonder it was offered at half price

Itchy skin – The new formula is terrible... Just figured out why I've been so itchy all over for the past 4 weeks...won't use it again.. Have to rewash everything now.. The itching is crazy. Whats in the new formula to do that to us all???

New formula absolutely crap – I have been using cold power top loader for years. New formula now leaves clothes covered in grit and does not dissolve even in warm water. Company will issue refund if you ring, now using liquid seems ok so far

Upset with new formula – I have used Cold Power for years to do my washing, I had no issues with it at all, until now! New advanced formula has made me break out in tiny little itchy spots all over my body! Not happy! Now on the hunt for something else!

40 years of great washing until now – What's happened to cold power after all the years using this it was the only one I wasn't allergic to now dermatitis and clothes that look dirtier and smell horrible what happened

Just appalling! – The " new improved formula" liquid cold power is not a patch on the proven Original formulation. It's now not as concentrated and need to use 2 capfuls ( previously just 1 cap did an excellent wash) also the fragrance, if I can call it that, is bland and unpleasant, just doesn't impart the " freshness ' on clothing post wash that the old… Read more

formulation had. I can't imagine any pre-marketing ' focus group' giving their tick of approval in comparison to the original.

I can only assume this has been a cost cutting exercise in removing ingredients that made it ' premium 'because now it's definitely not . Our family will no longer buy the product and I hope that when Henkel experience a dramatic drop in sales that they will reinstate the original.

New formula terrible – Clothes smell awful, like they need to be washed. Tried to use it to get rid of a food stain but it was useless. Luckily had a small amount of the old formula and used that successfully. Not happy at all with the detergent after many years of using Cold Power.

I loved the old formula and the smell, the new formula makes clothes and the laundry smell musty and – I loved the old formula, it made the clothes and house smell fresh and clean, the new formula makes clothes and the washing machine smell old and musty left me looking for where the awful smell was coming from

It's crap the price you pay for it and it leaves white powder all over the clothes – Really annoyed, costs a lot and leaved powder all over the clothes. Won't be buying again, and will be telling everyone I know not to bother with it. Crap, very unhappy!

No way – Terrible. Smells awful and does not clean anything. I put my clothes in the machine to get them as dirty as before, and with no more possibilities no get rid of the dirt on it. Thanks.
