Ariel Gels

Claire Hookham 28.07.2009

I love this product but I hate how it's container. That final amount in the bottle is near impossible to get out and I figure one to two loads of washing are missed. I'm still an ariel product user but I've reverted back to liquitabs were there's no wastage.

best washing product ever

Lesley Hayden 23.07.2009

I have never used ariel before, I always used bold and surf but I tried the new ariel excel gel it is fantastic I never have to wash my clothes about a 40 and the smell it leave on your washing is gorgeous. I always gel the amount of washes it says on the bottle or more which is very unusal for me

Disappointing

Sarah Wilkinson 23.07.2009

I bought this as it advertised great cleaning at low temperatures although my own experience was that I had to turn the heat up to 40, rather than the usual 30 to get things really clean. There's no way it got anything clean at 15 degrees as advertised! Shame as I liked the concept but won't use again!

VERY GOOD!

Michael Lysandrou 23.07.2009

I have tried all 3 variants of Ariel Gel.They all cleaned well,but the Fabreeze version left a stale smell in the machine and the clothes,so i did'nt like that one! The other two i would rate highly though.

disappointing product

Ronald Rosen 23.07.2009

This is the worst detergent I have used for ages. I have not tried it at 50C but at 40C the whites are not white and the slightest stains remain visible. I first tried it at 30C but had to rewash. In the past I have preferred Ariel powder to other brands, but I shall certainly not buy this again

Ariel Excel Gel

This product is great. It certainly does what the adverts state and gets things clean at a lower temperature.

I like it

Claire Doherty 22.07.2009

After washing my daughters dress with coffee and tomato sauce on it, on a 40 degrees wash I was disappointed as the tomato sauce never came out. If you put the liquid onto the stain direct and then wash it does remove it. So on the whole I like it but it doesnt do as it claims.

Ariel Excel Gel really excels!

Paul Hurley 19.07.2009

I think this one of the best it really does get rid of stains etc even at low temperatures. I would have no hesitation in buying more and have recommended it to my friends. It is very easy with the special measure.

Hard to use container

Gaye Rogerson 17.07.2009

The product lives up to its name and washes clothes really well. However, I found the liquid difficult to get out as the bottle started to empty, I had to really squeeze it, I have very slight arthritis in my hands and found this to be a problem, so I won 't be buying this again.

EXCELLENT BUY

Alison Hyatt 12.07.2009

HAD A WHITE TOP THAT I COULDN'T GET A STAIN OUT OF, I USED ARIEL EXCEL GEL WITH FEBREZE EFFECT WITH GREAT RESULTS THE STAIN WAS GONE. I ALSO LIKE THE FACT THAT MY CLOTHES STAY SMELL NICE AND FRESH FOR LONG.
