great product

Rachel Jeapes 05.08.2009

this is fantastic. it smells great and removes all the stains from the clothes from my toddler. (the first to do that!) Will be using it when our next baby comes and for the whole family. Its simple to use and no mess in the drawers to the washing machine. Wish the price was a little lower (keep the offer price of £3.00) as I use so much.

Problems found with Ariel Excel Gel

Jennifer Hanson 01.08.2009

Great washing power - no problem with that and performance at low temps is v good. Problem we're having is that after the wash has finished (including rinsing & fabric conditioning) a stale smell develops in the clothing; reminiscant of wet clothes that have been left too long before drying. In some cases we've had to rewash and are now using a different powder; with no problems.

Cannot get last 3-4 loads out of the packaging

Kate Hewitt 30.07.2009

Whilst the actual product is good, I have found that the Excel Gel bottle becomes difficult to squeeze as you continue to use it. Once you are down to 3-4 loads left at the bottom it's impossible to get out. Frustrating - very poor packaging for a great product.

Superb Cleaning

Paula Maddams 29.07.2009

With a four year old boy constantly getting his clothes dirty, this is an absolute gem at getting the washing clean.

Difficult to use container

Julia Allman 29.07.2009

I love everthing about this product - except the bottle. I find it especially difficult to get the last 4 or so washes out.Would be good if the container could be more squeezy like a toothpaste tube.
