I love detergent tests! Looking forward to seeing the results from yours. What type and brand of washer will you be using?

 

[nrones]

So let's start messing things up...

...motor oil

 

[nrones]

...mud

 

[nrones]

...olive oil

 

[nrones]

...lipstick

 

[nrones]

...tomato juice

 

[nrones]

...after some more stains

I added coffe, and some sort of spagetti sauce my mother's way.

Now, it's time to label the "test sheets"...yes... ARIEL vs PERSIL

 

[nrones]

Ariel vs Persil

forgot to mention a Wine stain present as well

They were left to dry for a whole day and night (that's the first picture actually).

I will use 1 washing machine (Candy GrandO Plus), small loads, each having 1/3 of the proposed dosage inside.

Here are Ariel's dosed. Same was with Persil

 

[nrones]

Rapid 30' 30c

First test was at Rapid cycle 30 minutes at 30degrees (86 F). As you can see, both loads are identical, loaded the same way so the test is fair

 

[nrones]

Rapid 30' 30c both pictures taken exactly when 17 minute

...ariel is making more suds

 

[nrones]

Second part of the test - Cottons 40 (104F)

A Standard cottons 40, main wash lasts 40 minutes on this cycle.

Again, both loaded exactly the same with identical items.

 

[nrones]

washing at 40

...both at exactly 47 minutes remaining...
no suds this time

 

[nrones]

3rd Part...Cottons 60 (140F)

...loads

 

[nrones]

So, what do you think? Who won?

First, pictures from washing at 60. Both are taken at exactly 45 minutes remaining. I forgot to mention that Main Wash cycle lasts 50 minutes on this programme

Persil this time made more suds.

That's it for now, what do you think, Who's the winner?

cheers,
Dex

Hi Dejan, thanks for this test.

Probably overall the same results. Or maybe Ariel did a bit better.

We are waiting your response

This  detergent Test set up looks like is really made with a criteria!  Looks a good job! BRAVO!

 

[kenmoreguy89]

 PS I bet on Ariel!

 

[nrones]

RESULTS:

The socks from the Rapid 30 programme.

Ariel did better (Left is Persil, Right is Ariel), however it's not that Persil didn't do good.

So, 1:0 for Ariel so far

 

[nrones]

Rapid 30' 30c test sheets

Motor oil - not remooved, but Ariel's is slightly brighter than Persil's.
Mud - not remooved, but Ariel's is noticabley lighter than Persil's.
Olive oil - although hardly visible, Ariel remooved a little bit more than Persil, maybe you can even notice on the image if you look closely.
Tomato juice - both remooved.
Make up - like it didn't even go into the drum, for both.
Coffee - not remooved, but Ariel did better than Persil.
Sauce - Ariel nearly remooved! Persil's still very visible!

So it's 7:1 for Ariel so far
