Stabilisers help provide the detergent formula stability and keep the enzymes active. Convenience and versatility Bleach and enzymes are used to remove stains and whiten garments. So these are best for getting really white whites. Powders contain bleach, so try Ariel Original Washing Powder for your white load for whites that shine bright. Another benefit of using a detergent that contains bleach is that it kills bacteria: hypochlorous acid, the active ingredient in bleach (and the same compound our immune system releases to fight microbial intruders), causes the proteins making up the bacteria to unfold, thus destroying the puny prokaryotes.

Builders deal with hard-water molecules during the washing process, allowing surfactants get on with their job of removing stains. So, the harder the water, the more builders your detergent should have. Enzymes break down amino acids in protein-based stains such as blood and egg, so they are more easily removed. There are several different types of enzymes present in your washing detergent, each of which works to break down and remove a specific type of stain.

Enzymes, meanwhile, are proteins that break down stains and grease. While biological detergents are perfect for most clothes, some people prefer detergents without enzymes, mainly for very delicate clothes, such as silk, satin, chiffon, wool and cashmere dresses. Non-bio detergents contain no enzymes, bleach or brightening agents, and because of this, they’re also less likely to cause skin irritation for people with a sensitive or ageing skin. What are the main ingredients that go into your detergent? Tablets also have this convenience, but can contain bleach, making them perfect for whites. Washing powders are also great for whites, and you can dose flexibly into the dispenser drawer.

From a safety standpoint there’s not many things that are more important than the proper storing of your washing capsules. The laundry room is a hazardous place as it is (what with all the chemicals and machines lying around), but the colourful orbs are especially dangerous if you have small children in your home. To keep them safe, here is a number of things you can do: Ariel Colour All-in-1 PODS® washing capsules have everything you need for clean, bright and fresh-smelling clothes in a tiny, but powerful capsule. Pod away serious sweat stains, impossible dirt and stubborn food particles even in a cold wash thanks to the unique COOL CLEAN Technology™, and protect the bright colours of your garments at the same time. COOL CLEAN Technology™ has been designed by scientists to provide brilliant stain removal even in challenging washing environments, like cold water. Keep PODS in their original container, and make sure to completely close the container after each use. One of the main advantages of Ariel All-in-1 PODS is their ease of use, which makes it easy when it comes to getting the laundry basics right. Choosing which type of detergent is about more than just personal preference, then. Gels are great for washing coloured loads, as they contain no bleach. Likewise liquitabs, like Ariel All-in-1 PODS Washing Tablets, are also great for their simplicity: just place one Ariel All-in-1 POD in the bottom of the drum before the wash for outstanding laundry results.Remove the washing capsule out of the box. Make sure your hands are dry when handling the washing capsules. Additionally, Ariel PODS® can now help reduce plastic thanks to their recyclable ECOCLIC® cardboard box. Their plastic content is maximum 5%, and they're designed to preserve your PODS®, so they can be powerful for longer. Liquids are the most versatile of all, though. While they don’t contain bleach, they are perfect for pre-treating tough stains. Ariel Original Washing Liquid with a pre-treat cap is perfect here, allowing you to treat your stain simply and easily before the wash. How much to use?
