Powder Laundry Detergent, Original Scent, 211 oz, 132 Loads

This was going to be another ridiculously long review. This is the short version (after which I deleted or edited the long one) 1. Detergent is strongly scented. Not for people with fragrance sensitivities. I absolutely love the scent which I find fresh and kind of floral in a way that original Downy is fresh and kind of floral (but not the same scent). 2. The scent may be toned down somewhat depending on how your laundry is rinsed or dried or if you add any other scented or unscented products, or if you use a dryer or air dry. Some people like their laundry to smell "fresh" forever, so they use things like scent beads. However, clothing, sheets, and towels, folded and put away in drawers and closed cabinets can retain the scent for a while though the smell does lighten depending on length of storage and air circulation. 3.Works best in hot water, but also does a great job in cold water as well without having to pre-dissolve the detergent. For particularly bad stains or ground-in dirt, you may need a laundry booster or spot stain-remover. 4. Comes in a thick plastic bag. If it was re-sealable I have no idea since I didn't plan to keep in in the bag. I would recommend getting a plastic or otherwise reusable storage bucket or bin with a tight-fitting lid to keep out moisture. Cut out the panel with the instructions, though after a while you may need to add either more or less detergent according to size of load, type of washer, water quality, and how dirty those clothes actually get. 5. Tip: Throw in a couple of measuring cups--1/4 cup with either a 1/3 or 1 cup measuring cup seem to be good sizes and make it easier to adjust to various amounts if you can do basic math. There are probably metric instructions on the bag too for everyone else not in the United States. 6. Softness? Only mentioning this because it's on the list of suggested ideas to cover in the review. Doesn't do anything either way, unless you used too much detergent or did not rinse it out well and your clothes ended up stiff. I put some things, especially my cheap towels, through an extra rinse to make sure there is no soap residue, but to add liquid fabric softener. Some machines automatically have a first and final rinse. Mine does not. Ariel has makes a formula with Downy fabric softener added to the wash. If you wash a lot of children's sleepwear, or other fabrics that are supposed to be flame-resistant, you should stick to the regular detergent since fabric softeners, especially after a few washings, can actually make the garment MORE flammable. Important note: While I keep reading articles or seeing videos warning people not to EVER use fabric softener on bath towels--that tip applies only to high quality 500-600 gsm (or higher) towels made with the finest, long-staple Turkish or Egyptian cotton. If you bought towels at Dollar Tree, or from Walmart's most "bargain" line, you need fabric softener on those towels so they won't take your skin off like sandpaper. All and all I do recommend the detergent, especially if you want more bang for your buck, and either like or don't mind the scent (try a smaller bag first). While some customers complained that the bag seemed too small, I am just about to put in a re-order after 5 full months. We have a large capacity high-efficiency washing machine, and if you have an HE machine, you use less detergent anyway. It's only 2 of us, but I prefer to change my sheets every week if I can (and I'm down to 2 sets that actually fit the mattress well--plus a 3rd set that kind of fits, but the bottom sheet pulls off constantly). Blankets , bedspreads, quilts, pillows, etc. are also washed every few months or weeks as needed. Since I have several chronic pain and mobility issues that can flare up, I am often confined to bed, and it's nice to have fresh linens. Maybe you might not be able to go almost half a year without buying more detergent, but generally, unless the price suddenly hikes, this is a good detergent for a decent price. If it's in your budget, you should just buy Tide, since it some formulas work better (but I also notice that some Tide formulations can really cause more delicate fabrics to pill and fade).

This is honestly the best laundry detergent I’ve ever purchased. The price Amazon offers is comparable to, if not better than, what I’ve seen in local stores, which makes it an easy choice. My laundry always comes out smelling fresh and looking truly clean. With a family of six, plus kids and pets, we put detergent to the test daily and this one delivers every time. It handles stains, odors, and big loads without any issues. A great value and a great performer. I’ll keep buying it.

Ariel Ultra Oxi Powder Laundry Detergent has quickly become one of my absolute favorites. What’s not to love? It’s truly one of the best stain‑fighting detergents I’ve used, and it consistently gets my clothes looking bright and clean. The whitening power is impressive—my whites come out noticeably fresher and more vibrant after each wash. The scent is another huge plus. The original fragrance is fresh without being overpowering, and it makes my entire laundry room smell amazing every time I open the container. Even after drying, my clothes keep that clean, crisp scent that feels like they’ve been washed professionally. A little goes a long way, so the 105 oz size lasts me quite a while, making it a great value for the quality you get. It dissolves well, works beautifully in both warm and cold water, and handles tough stains without any extra effort on my part. Overall, this detergent delivers on every promise, powerful cleaning, bright whites, long‑lasting freshness, and excellent value. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable, effective laundry detergent that truly performs

This was my first time using Ariel Ultra Oxi Powder, and I’m honestly blown away. The fresh scent is clean and crisp without being overpowering, and it lingers just enough to make the whole load smell amazing. The 105 oz size is generous too. You really feel like you’re getting your money’s worth. What really sealed it for me is the cleaning power. I’ve used TIDE powder for years, but Ariel outperforms it by a long shot with cheaper price. Clothes come out brighter, stains lift easier, and everything just feels fresher. I didn’t expect such a noticeable difference on the very first wash, but here we are. If you’re on the fence, give it a try. I’m genuinely impressed and definitely switching.

One of the best detergents I have used. no allergic reactions. It dissolves very fast doesn't remain on clothes and leave stains like other powdered detergent does. It washes clothes well removes oil and odor from your clothes. It smells amazing and leaves your clothes with a clean scent. This detergent also works well with washing dishes. It removes all the grease and dirt from your dishes! I have also used it as an all purpose cleaner and it's amazing. I mop my floors with it but I mix the detergent with faboloso it's great. The only thing is if you use this detergent for floors you might have to rinse a little, since it is a detergent! the soap is very soft.

This detergent offers excellent performance for everyday cleaning, easily removing common stains and leaving clothes with a long-lasting, fresh scent. Its formula is effective even in cold water, which helps save energy. Furthermore, it leaves no visible residue on garments, which is a definite plus.

Produits incroyable ! La lessive sent très bon, et le rapport qualité / prix est magique.

I love this detergent! I’ve been looking for ages for Ariel Powder in Canada and it’s so nice to have found one that’s shipping costs aren’t crazy. And the price just keeps getting better. The smell is amazing and the detergent works really well on all of our clothes in cold water settings. The sheets smell awesome all of the time!

Efficient with a nice smell. Highly recommended!

I am so happy by receiving this Ariel 6 kg and fragrance is so good and it arrived on time Thank You to the seller 🙏🏻

The powder does not wash things well.
