I put one scoop into the detergent draw along with my detergent, as it states on the tub, when I took the load out it looked just as grey as before. Anyway I was putting in another load of washing and found the powder had formed into a lump in the draw. What did I do wrong?!

I think ace bleach is better than vanish for whites tbh. Were you using powder or liquid detergent? If it was liquid then adding powder to it would make it just form into a clump. Powders are better for whites as they contain bleaches. I know persil and fairy does though. If you want whites to stay whiter I would consider switching to powder as the bleaches in them will help with that.

I'm thinking specifically Vanish powder that I use to help with the stains on clothes DS wears to nursery.

I use liquid so it seems to go claggy with the powder and not come out of the drawer. Anyone do this? I heard tell that liquid contributes to mouldy washing machines so maybe switch back to powder full stop, added to the drum.
