Ariel products are manufactured and sold in many countries around the world. All detergents of this brand are in great demand among housewives, as they are simply irreplaceable in everyday life. Every year, the company's specialists develop and produce new products for the care of clothes and underwear. Ariel laundry capsules are an innovative development of a company that has appeared on the market relatively recently. The water-dissolving balls are filled with a unique gel that makes washing easy and incredibly convenient.
General description of the tool
Ariel capsules are designed for washing light and colored items. This detergent contains unique components that clean the laundry well and remove even stubborn stains without damaging the fabric fibers. After using Ariel balls, white things become perfectly snow-white, and colored ones do not lose their richness of colors.
These balls are sold in plastic containers of various sizes. Each hostess can choose the optimal number of capsules that her family needs. Each capsule is packed in an individual cellophane package, which must be opened immediately before washing. Cellophane shell allows you to save a pleasant aroma and all other qualities of the detergent.
Ariel's unique balls are designed for use in the washing machine. You can wash with such capsules at a temperature of 30 to 95 degrees. The shelf life of Ariel is one year.
Compound
The composition of this laundry detergent contains surfactants, soap, optical brighteners, phosphonates, fragrances and some other components, the name of which will tell little about the average layman.
The manufacturer indicated the composition on the label, which is glued to the plastic box. The letters are very small, so you can not immediately make out the indicated information. As the manufacturer of this product indicates, the composition contains not only a liquid powder, but also bleach and fabric softener. In the capsule you can see three liquids - blue, green and white. They are poured into different compartments and dissolve gradually at different stages of the washing machine.
If you wash with Ariel capsules, then there is no need to use fabric softener, since this detergent already has it. This allows you to save on rinse aids.
How to wash capsules
The washing algorithm using Ariel washing capsules is not much different from this process with any washing powder. The only difference is that the capsules are placed directly in the drum of the washing machine. The manufacturer recommends washing with a detergent like this:
- Linen is sorted by color.
- One capsule of detergent and dirty laundry, which are the same in color, are placed in the drum of the washing machine.
- Set the appropriate washing mode and turn on the washing machine.
On the packaging with detergent it is written that you do not need to use additional bleaches and rinses, everything is already included in the composition.
After the end of the cycle, the laundry is taken out of the drum and hung out to dry. Washing with Ariel capsules is easier than ever, and the cleanliness of the laundry is simply incomparable.
Advantages
This detergent has a lot of advantages over similar products for the care of things. The advantages include the following points:
- Washes quite well, while removing many fresh stains without a trace.
- It is very convenient to use, no need to add powder separately and pour conditioner and bleach. This tool contains three active components at the same time.
- After drying things smell very good. It is difficult to compare the aroma of capsules with some other powder or conditioner.
- Things after drying are pleasant to the touch and some housewives note that they are easy to iron.
- Capsules dissolve completely at any temperature, leaving no pieces on the linen. As it happens with detergents from other manufacturers.
- When washing in the machine, there is a little foam, so there are no whitish stains on the clothes.
- White laundry after using washing balls becomes snow-white, and the colors of colored items are refreshed and become more saturated.
- The capsules are packaged in a convenient container that fits seamlessly into the interior of any bathroom.
The fact that the capsules are separately packed in cellophane can also be called an undoubted advantage. Many stores sell such laundry balls by the piece, that is, you can buy a couple of pieces to try, and if you like it, then take the whole package.
Keep Ariel washing capsules out of the reach of small children!
Flaws
Like any household cleaning product, Ariel's laundry detergents have their drawbacks. Among the shortcomings of the hostess note:
- Too high a price. One wash with the use of the so-called ball costs approximately 2 times more than with the use of washing powder.
- The dosage of detergent for one wash is not entirely clear. That is, the packaging says that one ball is designed for one wash, but you can wash both 5 kg of laundry and just a couple of T-shirts.
- Too strong smell. Many hostesses note that the smell is very cloying and does not disappear for a long time. Even after double rinsing, the fragrance hits the nose quite strongly.
- Doesn't work well on old stains.In order for things to be washed well, they must first be soaked in bleach and powder.
- Capsules can not be washed underwear made of natural silk and wool.
The manufacturer claims that capsules for colored linen refresh paints, but the housewives do not notice this effect.
According to hostesses, Ariel laundry balls can be a good alternative to washing powders and gels. But the cost of such innovative products is an order of magnitude higher, so buying attractive capsules is only profitable for a promotion.
