The great thing about Swedish shops is that the clerks are very nice and welcome you with a "Hej !" and a smile.
The absolutely horrible thing about Swedish shops is that they only sell Ariel refills. I could not find one of these fantastic magic balls that help you nicely spread the power of the washing liquid. You have to order it by phone or on the Internet. So I had to choose between powder (and yes you have to order the measuring cup on the Internet) and a liquid product from a brand that I had never seen on television (and the included ball was not as nifty as the Ariel one). The evil side of powder was too strong, and I bought the liquid model. I am extremely unhappy.
