Review of Bold 2 in 1 lavender pearls

 Over the last few months I have had the pleasure of trialling Bold 2 in 1 lavender pearls. The first thing I noticed about the product was the lovely scent the product had. I have always liked the smell of lavender and to find a laundry detergent that combined the cleaning power of bold with the lovely scented softener of lenor was an exciting prospect for me. I also have two son's that are autistic and as lavender is supposed to have a calming effect I was excited to see whether this had an effect on my boys moods.

Firstly I would like to address the cleaning power of the pearls. All my clothes came out fabulously clean and fresh. I did not have to add additional stain remover to any of my Bold washes. There was some talk on the project forum of the pearls not dissolving properly and a slimy residue being left on some of the clothes. I have to be honest here and say that over the course of eight weeks this only happened to me once and I believe that was because I had put to much dirty washing in the machine. I simply removed the slimy residue off of that particular item of clothing and threw that item back in the wash with the next load.

Secondly I would like to address the fabric conditioning element of the product. I have to say not only did the clothes come up clean and fresh but they also smelt fabulous and were super soft. In fact I would have to say that the clothes came out significantly softer using Bold 2 in 1 pearls than it ever has with my regular softener. The scent was definitely the winner for me though as whilst I didn't notice any significant changes in the boys moods I did find myself having a cheeky smell of my clothing throughout the day. On one occasion I was asked what the lovely smell was and explained that it was a laundry detergent I was trialling.

Now here is the negative part of my review. At £3.98 for 12 pearls I find this price does not sit well with me. I would be much happier paying £3 for 12 pearls and think that would be a much fairer price for the product. Sure you pay for quality and this is a really good product but I do believe there are products on the market equally as good but at a cheaper price.

So would I recommend Bold 2 in 1 lavender pearls ? Yes I would as they are a really good product that does the job they are meant to do and does it well. I would however state that I myself would only purchase the product when it was on special offer, when I had a money saving coupon, or should Bold choose to reduce the products price to what I feel is a fair price of £3 for 12 pearls.

Whilst I was not paid for this review I did receive a free 12 pack of Bold 2 in 1 lavender pearls to trial and provide feedback on. All thoughts and opinions on the product are my own and truthful in my opinion.

Kind regards
