Ariel liquid detergent
I never knew about liquid detergents until I relocated here. I probably saw these even before while I was living in Singapore or in Melbourne but never bothered with it. I am mostly familiar with the old-school powdered detergent simply because it is familiar and I can try my best to use it for a long time, too! Even on full load, I don’t use that much powdered detergent since I noticed that some powder end up not dissolved and sitting at the bottom of the washing (or in my clothes, ugh!). I also read somewhere that because most of the washing machines these days are eco-friendly, these tend to spin less and use less water – being the reason why some are not dissolved after the wash. It might be an eco-friendly approach but if the detergent will end up not getting dissolved as expected, I don’t feel too happy about it either!
After I relocated here, I still do our laundry the traditional way aka using powdered detergent. However, I noticed that dark colored clothes tend to “fade” when I use powdered detergents. Especially for dark colored jeans (like black denim pants), it tends to have a grayish color after a couple of washing. At the time, my very picky husband recommended buying liquid detergents for our darker colored clothes like black to keep the color looking like brand new. It also happened to be the same time a friend moving out handed over a half-used Ariel liquid detergent and we liked the way it gently washed our dark colored clothes! Ariel is a brand I am very much familiar with so after seeing positive results on our clothes, I bought it during a trip to the groceries!
I like the scent it leaves on our clothes even if I find it a bit too strong when I pour onto the applicator. The consistency is thick (similar to honey) and even if I put a full load of laundry, I only need to pour about 40 ml of the liquid detergent and that is more than enough to clean everything! I easily noticed the difference and saw that our darker clothes don’t seem to fade in comparison when I was still using the powdered detergent. Apart from that, there are no more chances to see undissolved powdered detergent on our clothes, too!
I also use the same detergent for my son’s clothes and never have any issues (no allergic reactions). So I can say that it is gentle enough to use for a small child’s clothing!
Overall, I am so happy with the liquid detergent and found a 1.5 liter lasts just as long as the 5 or 6 kg powdered detergent! I have tried other brands but would usually go for Ariel since this is a brand I have used for a very long time now, without any issues! I am really happy with it and repurchased a couple of times already.

We do not get Ariel Liquid detergent in the place we live, but otherwise Ariel powders are great to use.
Even in our home country, these liquid detergents are not that common. I also grew up only knowing of the traditional powdered detergent my Mom use to wash our clothes. Maybe because the water is not heated to a certain temperature or that some families don't even own a washing machine so the detergent bar is still pretty much famous?
Also, supply of water is an issue in many a places, so many people wash many of their clothes with hands using a bucket.
Also, some good clothes like good shirts, Lady suits etc are better hand washed since there is more wear and tear in a washing machine even at "Delicate" washing setting.
Some of my shirts' collars were damaged with frequent washing in washing machines.
Oh, I can totally relate to that supply of water issue while I was living in our home country. I even heard from my Mom they had some issues with the water supply recently and it lasted for weeks! So terrible.
Yes, water issues are increasing in many countries- even in Europe!
Since I never air out my clothes in the sun I have no problem with my dark clothes getting lighter. I use a washing washing machine that dries my clothes. I just put them up inside the house for the clothes to dry completely.
We don't air it out to dry as well since we are living in an apartment and we are on the third floor. But noticed that black denim jeans also fade easily with powdered detergent. Not sure if it's because we have a front loader?
May be then it must be the detergent. Some detergents have heavy chemicals.
I am not an expert when it comes to these things but noticed great improvement to the quality of our dark colored clothes when I made the switch :) I still use powdered detergent but only for our whites and light-colored clothes.
@ptrikha15: I guess it is one of the global effects in our climate. I am quite lucky there's no issues so far with water supply over here so doing laundry hasn't been a problem yet.
In India, there are no liquid detergents available easily in the market as I found during an inquiry. But, there are many local brands though I can not trust them easily.
But, last week I realized that it is not the Brand but the contents which have to be looked to while purchasing something new. It is really terrific. It can stand as a good competitor for other brands in the market. They are cheaper than any other Brands.
Purchasing local brands is something like encourage the product owner to take a great push.
They are cheap
They will be available in the market very easily.
