Which powder is better - Ariel or Persil?

As they say in advertising, the powder copes with any dirt, even the most persistent. Do washing powders such as hard lipsticks, such as lipstick, mascara, foundation and ketchup, really wash off the known powders?

Persel automaton

With a careful choice of detergent, you must take into account its manufacturer-designated component composition and real cleaning properties.

Composition:

• This powder does not belong to safe phosphate-free products, as the manufacturer on the powder packaging has honestly indicated. But it should be noted that to soften the water, however, phosphonates are used, which are less harmful than the phosphates included in other agents.
• The amount of anionic surfactants that are unsafe for the human body is 5-15%.

Important! The optimum content of surfactants in a detergent is 5-7%.

• The list of active components of the product also includes an optical bleach that does not completely wash out of clothes and harms our skin. In fact, it does not bleach, but simply creates an "optical" whiteness effect, due to luminescent particles depositing on the surface of the tissue.

Important! For real washing and whitening of matter, manufacturers use oxygen bleach, which is not present in this detergent.

• The fragrance of the washing powder has a pleasant enough aroma and leaves only a slight odor on the clothing, which can be easily drowned out with its perfumes.

Washing properties

So, how does this tool cope with removing the above spots in the usual washing mode with a water temperature of 40 degrees?- We make an assessment of practical notes and experience:

• Ketchup was washed completely, leaving no trace behind.
• Mascara left an easy trace, but did not completely wash.
• Lipstick only slightly changed the shade to a lighter one.
• The tonal cream remained practically unchanged.

Important! It is unlikely that you will ever so much and so "generously" stain your clothes in this way, so consider the intensity of possible contamination.

It is worth noting that after the next wash, the stains from lipstick and carcass still disappeared, but the fat layer of the foundation without bleach was not removed.

Washing powder Ariel

This powder in its composition is a bit like that already described by Persil. Will its properties differ to understand which powder is better - Ariel or Persil?

Composition:

• 5-15% anionic surfactants.
• Harmful phosphates.
• Optical bleach in the powder is absent.
• As auxiliary substances for washing substances are used zeolites, the harm or harmlessness of which is constantly discussed. The negative aspect of such components is their poor ability to rinse out, damage to the fabric and parts of washing machines. They also lead to the "dustiness" of the detergent powder.

Important! When you open a new pack of Ariel, you will immediately see and feel dust particles that quickly spread around the room. This action can lead to clogging of the airways and affect the health of allergy sufferers.

• Powder has an intense pungent odor, which remains for a long time on washed clothes.

Washing properties

As for the "direct duties" of the powder, it managed it in the same washing mode in much the same way as the previous tested product:

• The stain from the ketchup was washed completely.
• Ink was not washed off completely, leaving behind a gray notable trace.
• Fondant stain acquired a less bright shade, but no more.
• The tonal cream has remained virtually unchanged with a bright spot on the fabric.

Which powder is better - Ariel or Tide?

Another well-known washing powder, for advertising of which the manufacturer did not spare money, is Tide. What are its characteristics and is it really able to replace the proven boiling, as the videos on TV certify? Are the laundry properties of Tide different from the already proven Ariel or Persil?

For a more objective evaluation of powders, we will create the same "working conditions" for them.

Test task:

Wash off stains from coffee, blood, tomatoes, grass and wine on white terry towels.

Test conditions:

1. The quick washing mode in the washing machine is a machine in cold water for 25 minutes.
2. Complete cycle of washing in water at a temperature of 60 degrees for 65 minutes.

Ariel test results:

1. Fast cycle. In cold water, the powder coped well with stains from grass and tomatoes and washed the coffee stains lightly. Traces of wine and blood remained virtually unchanged.
2. Full cycle. All stains left the fabric completely.

Test results Tide:

2. Full washing. All the stains were washed completely.

1. Fast wash. When interacting with cold water, the powder managed to completely remove the traces of tomato and grass from the terry towel, the spot from the coffee became hardly noticeable. Wine and blood remained virtually unchanged.
2. Full washing. All pollution completely disappeared from white matter.

The result of the testing

All three powders, to which the advertisement has brought considerable fame, cope with the washing of stubborn spots almost the same, without having a miraculous effect in cold water and coping well with problems in hot. Therefore, decide which powder is best - Ariel or Tide or Persil, you still have to by the criterion of price and personal preferences.

Going to the store next time for washing powder, take into account the information given in the article. If you have small children, then for safety reasons, we do not recommend you to use these funds, since their composition is far from the allowable composition of means for washing things of newborns and older children. To ensure that your actions do not harm the baby's health, use soap nuts or phosphate-free powders marked "hypoallergenic" or "for washing children's underwear" during laundry.
