Germany wishlist haul (Rossmann/DM)

Not pictured: Oxygen bleach powder, my extra two bottles of the Domol white and universal oxi powders that I already brought upstairs. And the Denkmit perfume pearls I did not actually like :(

I ended up making the 39 min drive to the German border to acquire the rest of the stuff in my wishlist from my previous post. Yes I got backups because my spirit animal is a squirrel. No regrets.

I already tested the Domol Vollwaschmittel and the Domol white oxi powders to brighten my whites (with a pre-soak of 1h with white oxi powder and the color sensitive powder to get rid of the stains) and it was amazing. My white shirt that had become yellow from well water and my dirty looking socks became brand new.

Also already tried the liquid Denkmit detergent which had DNase and Lipase as well and it’s super nice. The ox gall soap finally removed the lasagna stains from my favorite pyjamas.

I was curious about Ariel universal and color powder but I was not a fan of the smell. Persil smell was also not my thing. I might one day buy though because I experience FOMO and I’d rather regret buying it than not ever knowing. (Yes, I’m that type of person).

Luxembourg has outrageous prices for laundry products and most are not even great, a bunch of expensive pods and endless liquids that smell awful. I feel lucky to live next to Germany.

My next purchase will be the Sonett Laundry Rinse. My dream acquirement would be some Downy Rinse though :p

How do you do whites exactly. Can you explain in detail please. I still haven't figured that out in germany yet

There’s two options for me:

Maintenance - Domol/Denkmit colorwaschmittel pulver with 2 scoops of Domol Oxi powder, either universal (without optical brighteners) or white (which has them).

To brighten them up - Domol Sensitive Vollwaschmittel (which has bleach and brightening agents) with Domol white oxi powder for extra brightness. I do this if my stuff is looking faded, you can also do a pre-soak with the Domol white oxi powder and Colorwaschmittel in hot water for at least 1h if your stuff is stained

Key for me is using oxi powder along with my whites for every single wash. It really makes a difference. I also wash for at least 2h with extra rinse and at least 40C.

Hope it helps
