Dissolving In Hysterics

I have been shopping with Approved Food for a while now. Here is the order which arrived last week

You’ll notice on the right, a heap of boxes of laundry tablets. When I put these goodies away, I tipped all the tabs into my big plastic lidded box, and put the boxes into recycling [apart from one, which I kept for instructions etc] First wash – I did what it said [put tablets to back of drum, before putting in the washing] and then came back later, when wash cycle completed, to find the tablets – still whole- showing through the door. Perhaps they don’t work at 40ºC? I broke the tabs into quarters, put them again to the back of the machine, tried again at 60ºC. Oh dear…

I went to the Time / Gumption website- but it is no longer there. The company has been dissolved [even though it’s tablets haven’t]

I took the tablets out, crushed them with a spoon and then dissolved them in boiling water. This time they have washed the laundry, satisfactorily.

I’ve emailed AF and suggested they put a note on the website, pointing out that you need to crush and dissolve the tablets before use. I shall let you know if/when they reply!
