*LOL*
Just know when am best off. *LOL*
At some point one simply realizes (hopefully) when enough is enough. This was brought home recently as attention was made to the various places one has stashed detergents/laundry products. Most of which have sat sitting since arrival and not really made a dent in the collection. | ||

there is BIG business in doing laundry for single guys, especially Police, Firemen, and Correction Officers....
they are fine with washing of their normal garments, but their White shirts, when you can get them whiter and brighter than anyone else, crisp and starched just right... if you start with one or two, and the look and word gets around, you will be drowning in laundry... and if you can do a few small alterations or sew on a button....you are a gem to them! | ||

On Tesco Online, of course with the specific stores I would imagine it would be dependant on deliveries and current stock holding, but would surprised it wouldn’t be in at least 1 Tesco nearby as of course there is millions of them. CLICK HERE TO GO TO liamy1's LINK | ||

PurClean If I remember correctly, the Ariel version has either 3 or 4 enzymes compared to the 2 that Tide has. I'm sure cleaning is a bit better. | ||

Ariel Purclean
Getting on great with it, nice to know @70 plant based and more eco and sustainable it can wash very well..
First Load was on a mixed load of dark clothing, had some muddy garden pants, so 60ml was used on a 6kg plus load. Washing at 40d cotton wash with 3 rinses. It foams up quite a lot initially but as the temperature rises it drop off, by the second rinse it was clear. I usually do a vinegar rinse on 2 but left it to see how it would perform - A pass by me !! Washing #ArielPurclean | ||

Ariel Purclean Rinsing
Heres the rinse water tested, the above jug was the wash water on discharge.
Rinses clear really quickly, although this servis Vestel washer dryer has a jet, and does fast & slow rinse tumbles as well as distribution (clothes pinned to drum sides) rinsing. | ||

Ariel Purclean Whites Wash Testing
As with any new liquid laundry detergent its total cleaning dependability is over a different range of washes, clothing, colours and wash temperatures.
So here goes on a Cotton Whites wash @ 60d with 3 rinses, this program has interim spins up to 800rpm and has a jetsystem spray for part of the wash and rinse programmes. Again high foam on initial agitation, but as the temperature climbs the foam drops. Washing Whites Cotton #ArielPurclean CLICK HERE TO GO TO chestermikeuk's LINK | ||

Ariel Purclean White Cotton Rinsing
I was even more surprised at how the foam was rinsed away on this load, the first rinse was almost clear.
The cleaning power was very good, all items bar one where clean and fresh, the one t-shirt with faint stain held to the light had a dried in 2 day blood from a nose bleed, I would usually have pre-treated or rinsed in cold water etc but thought would see how the ultimate test would go. Again I would certainly use this again and its the way to go in terms of future eco manufacturing of laundry detergents. Rinsing #Arielpurclean | ||

Ariel Purclean
All washed rinsed & dried, Very impressed with this new liquid laundry detergent, I`m a die hard green box biological enzyme washing powder user (Ariel or Persil) so was pleased to know this worked well.

Reply #21 Ah, the Ariel Liquid 'Arielette'! I remember in the late 80's, Boddington's Beer ran mysterious adverts for a component of their tin cans. One of the supposed spoof names was 'the Boddle-ette'. Latching on to the Ariel paradigm. | ||

"Blood ideally needs enzymes to loosen it then oxy bleach to remove the colour of the stain."
Yes, and no. There are several ways to get out blood stains, and while enzymes are a "modern day miracle", they aren't the only game in town. For ages industrial/commercial laundries dealt with blood stains using nothing more than built soap powder,sodium metasilicate along with hot to near boiling water. Sodium perborate (oxygen bleach) likely was added to that mix. After a cool or warm (temps between 80C to 100C) sluice cycle or pre-wash it was off to the races, and places turned out pretty immaculate work. Mind you this was used for hospital linens as well. To this day commercial laundries rarely bother with enzymes for blood or other stain removal, but stick with chemicals instead. Alkaline substances (such as ammonia, chlorine bleach, sodium metasilicate, etc...) will attack protein including blood stains. Any remaining traces can be dealt with by using any of the common rust removers such as oxalic acid. Problem with enzymes is they require long contact times to work properly. This often isn't an issue with domestic washing machines with their hours long cycles. OTOH a commercial laundry washer often completes a complete cycle in <40mins. Detergents like Persil, Tide and other TOL with advanced enzyme cocktails are wasted in laundromat machines IMHO. Marks/stains that are easily removed in the Miele or Oko-Lavamat still remain after a trip though the SQ front loaders at local laundryette. But the latter completes a "Normal/Heavy" cycle in 30mins from start to finish. Meanwhile the AEG allows nearly an hour just for rinsing and spinning. | ||

IIRC the first enzyme wash day products were mostly all pre-soaks; Axion, Bix, Bio-tex, etc... Some like Biz contained perborate bleach systems which added more kick to the mix as one could soak out more types of stains.
Of course the main thing about pre-soaking is what it had always been; if the wash was going to be done in hot or boiling water, that both killed enzymes in addition to setting the very stains many wished to remove. Somewhere along the line detergents got enzymes (and oxygen bleaching systems) so the need for a separate product wasn't necessary. One could simply use the detergent as a pre-soak. This and or the pre-soak products morphed into pre-wash or in wash additives where they largely remain today. Vanish, Tide In Wash Stain Treatment, Spray and Wash, the lot are mostly nothing more than enzyme based laundry aids with a bit of often things like bleaches added. As noted above European/UK washing machines with cold fills that heated to whatever temp desired got rid of need to pre-soak for most part. The "profile wash" cycles allowed enzymes a chance to do their work before hot or boiling water temps were reached. Some washers came with "Bio" cycles or whatever that held water temps within desired range for a bit to give enzymes time to work. | ||

One of our first biological pre-soak powders was Lever's 'Luvil'. Touted to prevent 'back again stains'. Courtesy, of Youtube, BBC, and Lintas.

Withdrawn from UK, yes
But Luvil is still around on the continent.
"Back again stains" likely referred to marks made by tannin and certain other substances that though appeared gone after the wash, weren't totally removed and showed up again later after drying. CLICK HERE TO GO TO Launderess's LINK | ||
