Have you ever heard of the “Powder of Four” ?.
It appears to be a very cost effective Laundry Powder, coming first in a Today Tonight testing with the top result being:
For front loaders, outperforming the rest for a cleaner wash and value for money at 27 cents per load, is the ‘Power of 4’ powder made by Chesser Chemicals for Chris Koutaris.
Powders, rather than liquids, were also best for top loaders with Cold Power Advanced and Power of 4 taking 1st and 2 place.
Where to buy this Power of 4 Laundry Powder:
Mr Dishwasher, 230 Pulteney St, Adelaide, South Australia 5000
Telephone: 08 8223 1146
Barwon Cleaning Supplies, 9 Crown Street, Geelong South, Victoria 3220.
Telephone: 03 5221-2944
Priced at $49.00 for 250 washes (Nov 2010) That was 19.6c per wash by my reckoning, maybe the test used a smaller pack.

Chesser Chemicals is a 100% owned Australian company based in Ferryden Park, South Australia. They are quoted as being the manufacturer of this laundry powder.
