ARIELwith a Touch of Downy Freshness, Powder Laundry Detergent, 158 oz, 99 loads

I confess that I purchased one of those ridiculously overpriced high efficiency washing machines that could be related somehow to ET.They don't fill up with enough water to create a clean load OR dissolve detergent well OR rinse your laundry well.I have been using FOCA powder for many years because it is far and away more efficient than any of the big brands and at a much lesser cost. Unfortunately, it does not dissolve well in a high efficiency washing machine.I do not like liquid detergents and when I saw this on Amazon I was drawn by the reference to the claim that it will dissolve rapidly even in a high efficiency washer.OMG! I just love it! It actually does dissolve fully, and leaves the clothes very clean and smelling fresh.I dislike fabric softener because of the waxy buildup on clothes and damage it causes to dryers over the course of time. It is essentially perfumed wax. I like the smell of fabric softener however so sometimes I use a teeny tiny little bit. With this product, it does have the wonderful scent of Downy but very mildly so it is not overwhelming. It dissolves quickly and rinses thoroughly so the clothes and towels are fluffy and soft but not with that waxy feeling when you add fabric softener. Even without adding fabric softener, my laundry comes out nice and fluffy without a lot of static and clinginess.I am very highly impressed by this product and it is cost efficient as well.I have a tiny little dog that I take special care to wash her little dog clothes and furnishings only in very safe products. This one works quite well for her she doesn't exhibit any irritation from it.I really am impressed by this product and I will be ordering again.Handy Tip: I put the entire bag into one of those pet food dispensers and just open the top of the bag and put a measuring cup in it. This keeps any moisture / humidity from getting to the bag and prevents the detergent from clumping. It also makes it very easily storable in my tiny little laundry room.

Love this!!!! I mix this and the oxi one. It leaves my laundry soft and clean. No clumping, no residue. Nice gentle clean. Works great, Plus it smells amazing.

Smells amazing! I think this powder dissolves good, cleans the clothes good, and is a great price!

A spectacular aroma. It dissolves very well and removes all the dirt.

This smells so good. I use this with oxyclean powder, arm and hammer washing powder and the pink stuff powder to make a 5 gallon bucket of laundry soap. It works great at getting out stains and smells. I do laundry daily and my 5 gallon buckets lasts me over 6 months. I will keep buying this.

Ariel with a Touch of Downy Freshness is designed to elevate your laundry experience with its blend of powerful cleaning capabilities and added fabric softness. In a convenient 158 oz package, this detergent claims to tackle up to 99 loads, making it a practical choice for families and individuals alike.Upon first use, I found that the detergent effectively removed typical household stains, demonstrating a commendable stain-fighting performance that Ariel is known for. The incorporation of Downy freshness does indeed add a pleasant scent to the laundry, leaving clothes smelling fresh and clean. Additionally, the powder formula dissolves well in both warm and cold water, maintaining its effectiveness across different washing conditions.However, it is important to highlight that the recent formula changes have sparked a noticeable dialogue among loyal users. Some may find that the new formulation lacks the same robust cleaning power that they have come to expect from Ariel products in the past. While it still performs adequately, the alteration in formula has created mixed reviews, as longtime customers share their sentiments about the effectiveness of this new version compared to previous iterations.In conclusion, Ariel with a Touch of Downy Freshness is an acceptable laundry detergent that offers good value and a refreshing scent, although the formula change may leave some users wanting more. For those prioritizing a pleasant fragrance alongside reliable cleaning action, it remains a viable option, but it’s worth keeping in mind that it may not meet the high expectations set by past formulations.

The media could not be loaded. I recently switched to a powder laundry detergent, and I'm thrilled with the results. This particular brand offers a fresh, clean scent that leaves my clothes smelling crisp without any heavy, artificial fragrance.One of the biggest advantages of using this powder detergent is that it doesn't stain clothes like some liquid detergents can. I’ve noticed that with liquid detergents, especially the more concentrated ones, there's a risk of leaving residue or spots on darker fabrics. With this powder detergent, I’ve had no issues at all—everything comes out perfectly clean and bright.Additionally, the powder dissolves well, even in cooler water, and doesn't leave any clumps behind. It also does an excellent job at tackling tough stains and everyday dirt, leaving my laundry spotless and feeling fresh.If you’re looking for a reliable detergent that won’t leave any unwelcome marks on your clothes, I highly recommend giving this powder laundry detergent a try. It’s effective, smells great, and best of all, keeps your clothes looking their best.

Smells great, cleans my clothes. I typically presoak before washing and there is never any residue.
