Ariel!!

I found ariel in Australia, I have always wanted to try ariel and I found it it cost $17 for 3 Kg and the shop also sold it for 44.99 for 9kg. I bought the 3kg just for staters to see if I like it! The shop also sold OMO in a similar packet but that only came in the 9kg for about $27

Hey Hey

We can get this and a few other interesting detergents at a local Serbian/Polish store near me. I have had two bags of this exact Ariel so far and found it to be a fantastic detergent. It has a great fragrance, not too strong but enough to make everything smell nice and fresh. I've moved onto Dynamo liquid for a little while now but might get another bag of this soon for my whites
The store i get it from also has some other brands:
- Persil Gold
- Duel
- Faks

They also have Lenor and Duel softeners. Its really cool to find these places that sell these 'foreign' brands

Enjoy!

White Ariel

Hi

As soon as I saw the thread name, I knew it would be Serbian Ariel xD It's not polish, since in Poland they have different Ariel I don't know how they make to Australia, but obviously they doo.

Duel is Serbian brand, and the company that produces it recently launched Deus detergent, as exclusive one, so hope you'll get that one too as it's really nice.
Faks is a Croatian brand So they're all from this part of the Europe xD

I used to buy OMO when I lived In Parramatta in Sydney West. Harris market carried that, Love that stuff. It's not available in the States. Where I live now (South Florida) I'm seeing a lot of South American and Caribbean brands. I tend to stick with Gain it's cheap and works well.

just googled Omo

It's called Surf here in the States. Have to pick some up today.

Ariel!

I just tried three washes with the ariel - ( I did't have to as I had not run out of my previous powder but I could not wait!), I really like !! I might go back to the shop and buy the big bag!!
The same shop had Lenor! - what do you guys think?
Also how much powder do you use/ shoul I use (5 kg washer - 6.5 kg, I use a Miele w765 & a Miele t369c dryer and my daily drivers, a bosch maxx 800 for bigger loads, an asko 10505 for fun- I am replacing both the bosch and asko with another newer asko -w620!

I'd suggest starting with the minimum dose for soft water.

Omo's made by Unilever. It's more likely to be similar to Unilever's European products like Persil in the UK and Ireland or Skip in France and Spain.

Unilever sold its North American laundry division a few years ago, so Surf in the USA is no longer a Unilever product.
It would be unlikely that it's the same product as Omo in Australia.

This Ariel is great detergent, but the scent is ridiculously strong.

Well, nrones, in Poland and in former Eastern Bloc countries Ariel is the same as this one. The only difference is that the Serbian Ariel obviously is not compact.
That's strange: in Serbia and my country we have Ariel made in Romania, but our is compact (2 kg for 20 washes) and yours isn't. I don't understand why.
By the way, nrones, do you have in Serbia the new compact Persil Expert. Here it replaced Persil Gold and is made in Serbia.

Hi

Here in Slovenia we also had this exact detergent, but now is concentrated (as "dixan" said).
Our is made in Cech Republic.

We also have the new Persil Expert that is also concentrated along with the liquids and the new Persil duo-caps (pods).

Sorry for the mistake I made!

Lenor

Oh, now I saw ian_p61 asked about Lenor. If it is in a bottle like this in the picture, it's again made for CEE market. Anyway, this is one of the best softeners. Very long-lasting fragrance, great softening and it is perfect together with Ariel.

I have tryiedthe powder with 1 1/2 scops as it is not concentrate and it seems to work!

What's the name of the shop?

I buy a lot of Italian detergents at Mediterranean wholesalers in Brunswick. They carry Dash, Dixan, Ava and other Italian brands
