Ariel Excel Liquitabs

Ive been using these for 2 weeks now and I am not very impressed with them. I have always used Ariel and these new tabs were on offer at asda so I bought 2 big tubs, but they dont dissolve properly :(

Even on a half load, theres still bits of undissolved plastic stuck to the clothes and bright bluey/purple stains. First time I thought I had overloaded the machine. I most definitely havent.

Anyone else used them?

    Yes - my mum has some of those or some type of Ariel liquitabs at least - we get the same problem, nasty undissolved bits of slime stuck to clothes after the wash. I assumed it was something to do with the hard water.

    use Formil colour - 1/2 the price and just as good.

  • Humphrey10 I dont live in a particularly hard water area so cant be that?

    zaax Where do I buy Formil liquid? Ive never heard of it.

    Thank you
  • I have exactly the same problem with Ariel. Formil colour is from Lidl (which we unfortunately don't have any branches of nearby).
