They have these in Sainsbury's and they are exactly the same as Tide Boost pacs, they even have the same 2 lines on the top of the liquid part. I bought some as they were half price, but have yet to open them. It seems like the Ariel range will be getting a new look if these are anything to go...

It's just because it's the Downy "fresh sheet week" advert re-edited for Lenor. Saves them making new ones for Europe.

I use Fairy Platinum and nothing else now. Whenever I check the filter it's clean each time, no greasy gunk all over it as there used to be with other detergents (including the standard Fairy dishwasher tabs). It's also meant to keep the inside of the spray arms free of any build up of grease...

I think they were the short-lived 'easy iron' tablets.

Persil Revive They looked like large individually wrapped dryer sheets (containing some sort of alcohol based solution) that you threw in the tumble dryer with dry clean only items. Results were often not as good as a genuine dry clean process, but OK for a cheaper way of freshening up lightly...

Henkel sold the rights to the product and the Persil name to a few companies around the world where they didn't operate at the time. In the UK & Ireland it was sold to Crossfields, who were taken over by Unilever 10 years after they launched Persil. At first it was basically the same product as...

"If you pour gel into a bowl of water, the gel will sink Powder wouldn't dissolve properly either if you dumped a load of it into a bowl of water and just left it sitting there. Gels aren't designed to be used like that, so you can't really claim they're aren't good for that reason. If gel...

It's on a par with Surf, or other supermarket brands but definitely not better than Ariel or Persil. I couldn't get through a whole box of it due to the lumps of powder left in the drawer every time. Which? tests seem harder to take seriously with each new set of results they publish, I mean...

Is anything really new about it? The old "Unbeatable/Outstanding in 30 mins" claim sounds pretty much the same as "Cleans tough stains in a quick wash". They were forced to drop "Unbeatable" from the packaging and advertising by Advertising Standards, as it WAS beatable! I wonder if the same...

P&G have just shrunk all their pack sizes but the prices haven't changed. Ariel powder and gel have gone from 28 washes to 25. The smaller 18 wash gel bottles have shrunk to 16 washes. All the other formats and P&G brands have shrunk as well. Lenor has shrunk but, like Ariel gel, it's still in...

Yes, I tried some and they always left a load of gunk in the drawer. This was over the summer, so it's not an issue with the water temperature.

Oh please, it's from the Daily Mail! There's nothing this rag likes better than scaremongering. Along with homophobia and their general love of bigotry, of course! This paper runs articles along the lines of "Salad makes you fat - IT'S OFFICIAL!" "Eating sausages is worse than smoking 80...

It wouldn't surprise me if Europe's liquitabs get a makeover to look like the US ones which seem to have 3 chambers, or they'll make them a premium version alongside the current ones. P&G love nothing more than a new format, or a premium version of something that already exists! spiralator60 -...

It won because the foam bubbles lasted longer? The foam doesn't actually clean the dishes!

Until they invent a detergent that can remove pasta sauce easily in one wash, they can shove their 30ºC and 30 minute wash claims where the sun don't shine! Adding a stain remover never seems to make any difference for me either. Detergent ads are getting as bad as beauty product adverts with...

I tried both, against my better judgement! Ridiculous claims and, of course, they didn't make any difference. They'll probably go the same was as Comfort Fast Dry, Creme and Forme. Unilever seem to make some mistakes with new products these days. Persil and Comfort Naturals, Surf and Comfort...

Wasn't Which? singing the praises of how white Ariel Gel got things last time around? Now they've decided it's not quite as good as they first said it was?! I think this says more about Which? than anything else. Large pinch of salt required!

I think the sole purpose of Ariel Stain Remover is to take some of Vanish's market share, not some sort of admission that you need to use it with Ariel detergents. If Ariel (or Persil for that matter) can't shift a stain, an added stain remover won't make any difference in my experience.

My local ASDA is fully stocked. They now sell the bigger packs of tablets too, instead of just the 12 wash packs they sold before.

Never had a problem in my Bosch, even with our soft water. Fairy Platinum are the only tablets I will use these days, they're the best I've ever tried.
