Bio-Tex Powder

I live in South Africa. It is desperate when you cannot find Bio Tex products anywhere, even on the net. It is the only product that truly cleans things properley; right down to huge grease stains and then plenty more. HELP!!

I'm amazed at how little customer reviews there are on this product!

I tried to clean a baby bouncer lining in vanish about 4 times in many different ways. We have a coal fire and somehow this all ended up on the bouncer. It was either that, or ground in dirt that was just impossible to remove. I soaked the lining ( which was non washable, surface clean only) in this for just under 24 hours, and put it on a hand wash cycle, and OH MY GOD!!!! Every bit of previous stain has now completely disappeared! I am now selling this bouncer as in as perfect condition as first purchased, and am certain I will get a higher price than previously expected! I wish people had explained how excellent this product was, especially due to the extremely low price! If buying in the uk, I found it after trying for 10 minutes at the bottom shelf in tesco's! The vanish was in eyesight whilst standing. Just goes to show how supermarkets only show the most expensive at eyesight view for quick buyers with too much money for awful products!!

All you people who only bother to review a product when it's off the Market..... Shame on you! If everyone was like you it's no wonder companies discontinue products!

I have used this product for years, it is the best on the market, removes dirt and stains but, what has happened to the perfume? My clothes used to smell lovely for weeks in the drawer, not now!

I have just had a reply from the new suppliers of Bio-tex. Copy below:

DCS Europe plc | Timothy's Bridge Road | Stratford-upon-Avon | CV37 9YL

The previous UK distributor of Biotex ceased trading earlier in the year, hence your difficulty in locating stocks.

DCS started to distribute both the powder and spray a couple of months ago and stocks are re-appearing on supermarket shelves.

We have made deliveries of the powder into Tesco, Waitrose, Sainsburys and Asda central warehouses, and the trigger spray into the Co-Op. We suspect that as it has been unavailable for a while, people are bulk buying when they do find it, so it may take a little while for stocks to build back up and for it to be freely available again.

I hope this helps you track some down.

Regards,

I gather the UK supplier (Jenks) went into administration early in 2009 but other sites say it is now available in the UK. Biotex is manufactured in the Netherlands. If you email biotex on http://tinyurl.com/find-biotex and insert your postcode into the main message box (the postcode section won't accept it!)they should hopefully reply with a stockist near you. I am waiting to hear from them.

Glad to know that I am not the only one who is aggrieved with the 'disappearance' of Biotex. Like a lot of other comments I have read,I agree that nothing else has the qualities and results of this powder. Can only hope that some company has the sense to re-stock this product and SOON !!!!

For a good number of years, I have been using Biotex stain removing powder both to soak badly stained articles before washing them and to augment the stain removing properties of the non-biological washing powder I use. I have found it absolutely excellent and am appalled that I can no longer obtain it. What has happened to it? Please restore it to supermarket shelves as soon as possible.

Am appalled I cannot find Biotex anywhere......what has happened to it? If you have stopped manufacturing it bring it back..your customers demand it !!!! It does what it says on the packet and nothing else on the market comes close to its cleaning power.

Tesco (Shettleston, Glasgow) had six boxes of Bio-Tex Powder for sale on 1/8/09. I bought them all! Maybe the message got through!

I wear white tunics at work, and Bio-Tex Powder is the best thing for getting marks and stains off, while keeping it white.
