3 Step Fibre Science – Clean, Protect, Enhance

 

Ariel Research and Development Manager, Patience N’KambaMakenga wowed the audience with live demonstrations of NEW Ariel Automatic’s performance, not only its superior cleaning and stain-removal, but also how it helps to protect and enhance fabrics.

“Ariel’s 3-Step Fibre Science works deep down at a fibre level to clean, protect and enhance the sensorial qualities of clothes (the look, feel and scent). Ariel Automatic allows you to achieve the highest standard of clean in 1 Wash, while protecting your clothes and providing freshness throughout the day,” she said.

Explaining the importance of using the correct detergent she added that: “Regular hand wash detergent is less effective in machines because it produces too much foam, which maydelay the washing cycle, reduce cleaning effectiveness and prevent proper rinsing. NEW Ariel Automatic is the perfect match for your washing machine to deliver brilliant cleaning results.”
