I have used surf and the price is good but I find it less than good at getting your dirty wears clean.I have many times had little money and found myself buying surf.Its a little more money than the cheap detergents works a little better but when you use something that just doesnt get that grass stain all the way out of your favorite shirt did you really save or lose?Im from america and Im not sure what products here are available around the world but if you have a wal-mart what works really well is the mixture of wal-mart brand detergent and surf.Better yet dawn dish detergent its cheap removes every kind of stain you can think of and mixed with the surf leaves everything fresh and clean.By itself I would say you are wasting money and putting your wash in danger of not coming as clean as it would or could have with other products.
