Laundry detergent reviews

@airedale, I notice some detergent brands regularly disappear from the test updates to reappear later, Biozet for one. I understand all the reasons this might happen but when a product comes and goes because it is being reformulated (apparently regularly) is it a message that might be called out?

If any particular product has a high score in test after test it should be reassuring what one puts in their hand will be representative of the test. But if products are routinely being reformulated and come and go from tests or their performance varies widely between tests it suggests the consumer is essentially buying into a ‘lotto ticket’ that might or might not reflect the test, or anything for that matter, beyond pricing and the manufacturer’s details as a consumer could reasonably expect the product itself to be variable, eg reformulated with inconsistent results from time to time.

Your comments would, as always, be appreciated.
