Ariel All-in-1 Pods
I was able to do a slightly decent test of the Ariel pods with Phosphodiesterase. I have a load of 7 towels that I was able to get my hands on that have permastink. 5 were previously washed by another person. I washed them in an LG front loader, Normal cycle, warm wash (85°F), and a splash of Downy. No other additives. I wanted to use a lower temp and shorter wash time to see what they can really do with what the average person will do.
First, I am more than impressed with the All-in-1 Pods ability to keep suds non-existent in the wash and both rinses. Very clear water. Second, the smell is much better. I would say 80% better. Of course, a higher temp wash would do better, but that wasn’t the point. Likely a longer wash would do more as well. Third, the towels are fluffier and feel lighter. I’m hoping that isn’t from all the body grime being removed.
I’m slightly disappointed that it isn’t perfect, though I know these towels have been in bad shape for years. The purpose of these enzymes is to prevent these issues from occurring rather than dealing with years of buildup.
