How to remove stains from white clothes
Soak
Fill a sink with warm water and create a soaking solution by adding ½ a scoop of Ariel Original Washing Powder. Allow the garment to soak for up to 30 minutes.

Load
Wring out the excess water and place the garment into the washing machine along with similar items.

Dose
Your pre-treat cap is a dosing device, too. Just fill it with the correct dose of washing detergent and place it directly into your washing machine drum, on top of your dirty laundry.

Wash
Wash on the usual cycle, on the hottest wash temperature indicated. Always check the instructions on the garment’s fabric care label.

Unload
When the cycle is complete, unload the garments immediately or within maximum 2 hours for great results.

Washing delicate whites
1. Gather delicate white items, such as sheer blouses, shirts or undergarments.
2. Review the fabric care labels to make sure the items are washable. Note whether machine or hand washing is suggested, as well as the recommended wash temperature and drying method.
3. Machine wash most delicate whites in cold water. Adjust the water level and set the machine for gentle or delicate. When using Ariel you shouldn’t have any problems getting the perfect results even at 30 degrees.
4. Hand wash delicate undergarments or items specifically labelled "hand-wash only." Dilute a small amount of Ariel in a tub or bucket of cold water, and then submerge and rinse your clothes under running water.
5. If you have a dryer, dry delicates on a low setting or hang them to dry. Check the fabric care labels.

What temperature should I use when washing whites? Hot or cold?
When washing your favourite white clothes, nothing’s more important than that they come out of the machine bright and clean. Concerning stain removal, much of the end result depends on whether you wash your whites in hot or cold water. For the most part, in case of heavily soiled clothes, towels and bedding, whites should be washed in warm or hot water, but there are some exceptions: Sheer or delicate fabrics, such as lingerie and swimwear, require lower temperatures, while stains like blood, wine, and coffee might set if washed in warm or hot water, so you’re safer using a cold wash, coupled with Ariel Gel, our powerful cold water detergent! Another advantage of a cold water wash is your clothes will get a longer lifespan, plus you’ll have a smaller utility bill, since it requires less energy per cycle.
