At Reviewers United, we love to review washing tablets and dishwasher tablets, so it’s no surprise that we wanted to review these Ariel 3in1 pods that claim to have some of the best stain and odour removal. We put them to the test, and here’s our overall review on them.
Take a look at this post, will will give you all the information you require about the Ariel washing pods and if they’re actually worth buying. If you want the answer now, don’t buy these pods if you’re looking to eradicate stains.
Are Ariel 3 in 1 Pods Non-Bio?
Yes, Ariel 3in1 Pods Stain & Odour Removal are non-bio, meaning they do not contain enzymes. This makes them suitable for people with sensitive skin or those who prefer a gentler detergent. Non-bio detergents are often recommended for baby clothes or anyone prone to skin irritation.
Ariel 3 in 1 Laundry Detergent Pods
The Ariel 3in1 laundry pods are designed to simplify laundry with a single, pre-measured dose that combines three actions:
- Cleaning
- Stain removal
- Freshening
The Stain & Odour Removal variant is marketed specifically for removing persistent smells and everyday stains. For general laundry needs—especially daily wear or sportswear, these pods are highly convenient and effective. We would recommend reading this review before you purchase if you are looking to use them for the stain removal factor.
Ariel 3 in 1 Pods
Ariel 3in1 Pods are a popular choice in many households due to their ease of use, pleasant fragrance, and reliable cleaning power for everyday laundry. The pods dissolve completely in both hot and cold water and leave clothes feeling and smelling fresh.
However, it’s worth noting that while they handle light to moderate stains well, tougher stains like dried blood, heavy grease, or set-in wine may require a separate pre-treatment or more targeted stain remover. This can be a bit disappointing for those expecting the pods to tackle all types of messes as claimed in the marketing.
These have been marketed heavily for their stain removal, although when we put them to the test, the stains remained. It might be worth using more than one pod in a wash if you have heavily stained clothes, although this isn’t guaranteed to work.
Ariel 3 in 1 Pods Review
We tested the Ariel 3 in 1 stain & odour remover pods and you can say that the results were varied. Although these pods do wash your clothes, their stance on stain removal isn’t quite true. We found that when put against ketchup on a childrens top that was only left to sink in for an hour, the stains remained. These might be good on clothes that have only just gotten dirty but they aren’t what they claim to be in regards to stain removal that’s for sure.
Do Ariel 3 In 1 Stain & Odour Removal Pods Work?
No.
If you are looking for a washing pod that removes stains, this is not the pod for you. We tried it with our ketchup challenge and the stains remained. We only tried it with one pod as we believe if you’re going to be buying a product then it has to do what it claims, if you have to use more than one pod you’re throwing money away and these should be a lot cheaper.
Ariel 3 in 1 Pods: How to Use
Using Ariel pods is simple:
- Place one pod at the back of the empty drum before adding clothes.
- Do not place the pod in the detergent drawer.
- Add your laundry on top and start the wash.
For larger loads or heavily soiled laundry, you might need to use two pods. Always handle with dry hands and keep the container out of reach of children. Read the instructions on the box for maximum efficiency, although as we have demonstrated, stains may remain.
Ariel 3 in 1 Pods Ingredients
While Ariel does not list every ingredient on the packaging, the pods typically contain:
- Surfactants (cleaning agents)
- Water softeners
- Polymers
- Fragrance
- Stain-fighting enzymes
- Colorants and preservatives
The formulation is designed to be tough on odours and general grime, but again, without enzymes (in the non-bio version), it may lack the aggressive stain-fighting power needed for tougher jobs.
What Are Ariel 3 in 1 Pods?
Ariel 3in1 Pods are single-use laundry detergent capsules that combine detergent, stain remover, and fabric freshener in one small pod. They’re designed for simplicity, convenience, and consistent dosing, making them ideal for busy households or people looking to cut down on mess and guesswork.
They’re best suited for:
- Daily laundry
- Light stains
- Regular odour removal
They’re less ideal for:
- Stubborn or set-in stains
- Delicate fabrics that need special care
In summary:
Ariel 3in1 Pods Stain & Odour Removal are a convenient and effective choice for most laundry tasks, with a lovely scent and reliable performance. Just keep in mind that they may fall short when it comes to tougher stains, despite the marketing claims. For best results, use them alongside a stain pre-treatment for anything extra stubborn.
These pods are perfect if you’re looking to switch things up and try something new. They are not perfect for households that have regularly stained clothing or tough stains. If you are looking for a stain remover for clothes that have partaken in sports or maybe childrens clothes, these are not the ones you want.
