Ariel cold wash is formulated to use technologies that are already working their full potential at low temperature. Ariel Cold Wash uses several enzymes with low activation energy. Also, the product is designed with a surfactant system that is more hydrophobic than the other ones in the market. This enables surfactants to remove stains much more efficiently at low temperature compared to others. The biggest help to minimise environmental impact is indeed coming from washing at 30°C. This also entails saving electricity (and money) while leading to significant reductions of CO2 emission.

The Environmental Benefits

  • Reduces Carbon Footprint by 35%
  • 1.2 Billlions (30°C) to 2.8 Billions (20°C) tons of CO2 reductions in Europe

The Financial Benefits

  • Washing clothes at 30°C throughout the year rather than 40°C will save on average 11$
  • Clothes washed at lower temperature tend to last longer and present less discolouration, creating even more economies
