Ariel Matic Liquid Detergent is only suitable for fully-automatic washing machines. If you have a semi-automatic washing machine, use one of our powder detergents, which are designed for semi-automatic washing machines and hand washing.
How to wash
For the best results, always check the fabric care labels on your garments. These labels tell you how it’s best to wash each item, including at what temperature. Separate your items into whites, darks and colours, and delicates, as these each need to be washed separately.
