Surf Sunshine Fresh

New formulation not as good – I have previously used Surf powder (and liquid, but mainly powder) with good results. A lovely smell, gets the stains out, costs less than Omo, Dynamo, Radiant and doesn't seem to irritate my sensitive-skinned family. The previous formulation was a plain white powder. The new one has coloured flecks in it and a slightly stronger smell. … Read more

However, this latest formulation is constantly clumping in the detergent dispenser of my Bosch front loader. I was having to manually pour extra water through the dispenser to get the powder to wash down into the machine (and no, I'm not heavy handed with the powder dosage, if anything, I err towards dosing less than recommended, and I never wash in cold water). I have never had to do that with the previous Surf formulation. Halfway through my first 3kg box of this new formulation, the detergent dispenser on my 6 month old washing machine looks grubby, coated with a film of white residue that is hard to scrub off. It has always been pristine before now. I can only assume this coating is starting to build up inside the machine too. I will be throwing out the rest of the box and switching to something else. Saving a few dollars on detergent is not worth a repair bill on an expensive washing machine. Very disappointed. Cleans clothes well, smells lovely Does not rinse cleanly into machine, leaves residue in dispenser that feels "baked on".

Excellent – Highly recommended for heavy duty washing and delicate items alike, it does the lot and the bulk buy boxes (I get them from Big W) are cheap as chips. I love all the fragrances and your clothes will smell fresh for ages. It's so much cheaper than other brands can be and works just as well! With a very grubby tradesman husband, I do a lot of… Read more

washing and found that the other brands were getting too expensive because I use so much. we only wash in cold water and it leaves the clothes smelling great and perfectly clean. Only rarely do I have to spray with stain remover.

Gorgeous smelling – I love surf the smell is just wonderful and your clothes smell so nice and fresh and clean. I find that it works well with cold water as well as hot water. Its my first choice when it comes to washing powder but i have to say it is a little bit above my price range so i will only buy it if its on special and then i buy it in bulk. Really good well… Read more

known and trusted brand that is available in nearly all major supermarkets in Australia.I would highly recommend this product i have never had any trouble with it and i think its fantastic especially because of the scent!! great and smells lovely

Good – I am always pleased with the cost and efficiency of this product. Does just what you need it too,in cold water and at less than half the price than a lot of the other competing brands. For such a well-priced laundry detergent it sure does do it's job! I never find stains after using surf and am always pleased with the results in cold water. It's fragrances are just a little bit too strong and over-powering. Show reply

Excellent – It smells absolutely amazing and gets rid of the pizza smell out of Hubby's workclothes (he works at a pizza store) when a lot of other brands didn't! Highly recommended! The smell is amazing and stays on your clothes for days, perfect for cold water washing, it comes in a beautiful little bottle which doesn't take up much space in your laundry… Read more

cupboard, only a small amount is needed to get rid of most stains and dirt, inexpensive to buy when on sale and it is widely available in most supermarkets and department stores It should come in a bulk pack!

Excellent – Surf brands are great for those looking for less expensive washing detergents. I buy them in bulk when I see them going for $1.99 a box. I cannot really afford all the other brands that cost double or even triple than what surf brands are going for. It cleans just as good and the smell perhaps even better than the other brands. I buy this brand… Read more ·  1

all the time and it is cheaper than most branded washing powder. It also smells great which is an incentive to do more washing. It is cheap and it is sick!
