How are you lot finding Ariel Purclean?

[launderess]

One assumes it is a cousin to Tide Purclean sold in USA.

Haven't tried Tide, but have looked at bottles on shelves. Which is about close as am allowed since have already more detergents in this place to last the duration. *LOL*

 

[rolls_rapide]

"about close as am allowed..."

Does your husband whisk you through that aisle at top speed?

 

[launderess]

*LOL*

Just know when am best off. *LOL*

At some point one simply realizes (hopefully) when enough is enough.

This was brought home recently as attention was made to the various places one has stashed detergents/laundry products. Most of which have sat sitting since arrival and not really made a dent in the collection.

 

[rolls_rapide]

Lol

Detergents seem to multiply like rabbits!

 

[launderess]

Cheeky!

Oh we're just a little sauce box this morning aren't we? *LOL*

Don't laugh, still have those two cases of Persil soap powder *and* Persil59 to work through. I know some of you out there are just waiting for me to kick to bucket so can nab them from my estate. *LOL*

Might start taking in washing....

I’ve been to three, THREE SHOPS! And no Ariel Purclean pour moi!!

 

[rolls_rapide]

@launderess:

LOL! It (detergent) certainly does accrue. Mind you, if you did take in washing, at least you'd have the satisfaction of seeing the clothes properly laundered. Their whites would be dazzling!

@mralex:

Poor you - You'll have to make do with the 'Compact Ariel Liquid'. I've not seen the Pureclean version either... and P&G's weird spellings do my head in too (remember Ariel Future, with the dispenser and scoop labelled 'Futur'?... ridiculous!)

 

[yogitunes]

there is BIG business in doing laundry for single guys, especially Police, Firemen, and Correction Officers....

they are fine with washing of their normal garments, but their White shirts, when you can get them whiter and brighter than anyone else, crisp and starched just right...

if you start with one or two, and the look and word gets around, you will be drowning in laundry...

and if you can do a few small alterations or sew on a button....you are a gem to them!

I have some, but haven’t used it yet. Smells lovely though, I have the “Summer Fresh” one (unsure if there is more than 1 scent), but the PurClean I have is specifically named as opposed to just Original etc.

I didn’t even mean to buy it, as the stash has had Australian Omo Powder and US Tide Powder added this week, but as everyone here more than knows, they just fall in to the trolley/cart

(I actually disposed of a few at end of last year as I just had too many and I seem to have become obsessed with having them all fit in the one double shelf, double cupboard , can’t bear it if any have to be kept elsewhere).

I got it at the same time as Seventh Generation Free and Clear liquid that Tesco have on clearance as they have discontinued it (would assume it weren’t selling and Tesco have just launched a very funky range of Eco detergents in cool bottles and about 5 different colours).

@MrAlex,have you tried Tesco? my Tesco had loads of them last week, as said it fell in my hand lol.

Oddly, none of the bottles had a dosing device on the bottle, if there had have been, I would have picked the bottle that did, I always go for ones with dosing devices on top as opposed to not.

On

Tesco Online, of course with the specific stores I would imagine it would be dependant on deliveries and current stock holding, but would surprised it wouldn’t be in at least 1 Tesco nearby as of course there is millions of them.

PurClean

If I remember correctly, the Ariel version has either 3 or 4 enzymes compared to the 2 that Tide has. I'm sure cleaning is a bit better.

 

[mralex]

lakewebsterkid- it’s got four

Ariel Purclean

Getting on great with it, nice to know @70 plant based and more eco and sustainable it can wash very well..

First Load was on a mixed load of dark clothing, had some muddy garden pants, so 60ml was used on a 6kg plus load. Washing at 40d cotton wash with 3 rinses.
It foams up quite a lot initially but as the temperature rises it drop off, by the second rinse it was clear. I usually do a vinegar rinse on 2 but left it to see how it would perform - A pass by me !!

Ariel Purclean Rinsing

Heres the rinse water tested, the above jug was the wash water on discharge.

Rinses clear really quickly, although this servis Vestel washer dryer has a jet, and does fast & slow rinse tumbles as well as distribution (clothes pinned to drum sides) rinsing.

Ariel Purclean Whites Wash Testing

As with any new liquid laundry detergent its total cleaning dependability is over a different range of washes, clothing, colours and wash temperatures.

So here goes on a Cotton Whites wash @ 60d with 3 rinses, this program has interim spins up to 800rpm and has a jetsystem spray for part of the wash and rinse programmes.

Again high foam on initial agitation, but as the temperature climbs the foam drops.

Ariel Purclean White Cotton Rinsing

I was even more surprised at how the foam was rinsed away on this load, the first rinse was almost clear.

The cleaning power was very good, all items bar one where clean and fresh, the one t-shirt with faint stain held to the light had a dried in 2 day blood from a nose bleed, I would usually have pre-treated or rinsed in cold water etc but thought would see how the ultimate test would go.

Again I would certainly use this again and its the way to go in terms of future eco manufacturing of laundry detergents.

Ariel Purclean

All washed rinsed & dried, Very impressed with this new liquid laundry detergent, I`m a die hard green box biological enzyme washing powder user (Ariel or Persil) so was pleased to know this worked well.
