Ariel with Downy...

Does a great job for me! As it is sold in a plastic bag, I have a Rubbermaid cereal container to dispense it. Here in Florida, any of the boxed powders I have used will absorb the humidity, and immediately clump, making it difficult to scoop. And I love the strong scent of Ariel, towels in particular smell great, none of that wet dog aroma emanating from liquids.

Persil universal pulver -unscented-

@launderess- I didn't know they made an unscented version, I will check that out back home in Canada but also check the version here in Mexico while on holiday just now, I expect it will be scented.

What I have found out here is that still this year both Foca and Blanca de Nieves in Mexico still have phosphates-tripolyfosfato de sodio, I will be bringing some back home and expect/hope the scent to dissipate over time.

All the other detergents here that I have read ingredients listed do not have phosphates-although I have not checked every single powder detergent available-the detergent aisles plural here can be 40 to 50 feet long!

Not kidding and that is not including softeners nor the bar soap and detergents for hand scrub board laundry nor the stain pre-treaters. Spoiled for choice in Mexico.

I wouldn’t bother with Amway SA8 powder. It’s low sudsing, but even when paired with the brand’s all-fabric bleach/booster stain removal is not great.

I switched to powders when I purchased a Speed Queen front-loader in October of 2023
and get the best results with these:
Persil Bio (UK Unilever)
Persil Non-Bio (UK Unilever)
Tide Professional (Staples Office Supply online)
Omo Professional (Turkey)
TideMatic For Front-Loaders (India)

I like the scent and cleaning power of the blue Ariel powder (Mexico) available at Walmart, but it’s very sudsy in very soft water in the SQ. I had zero sudsing issues with it in a top-loading SQ.
