Households across the UK embarking on their New Year clean-up have been presented with a significant saving on a popular laundry essential. Amazon is currently offering a bulk buy of 120 Ariel Platinum Plus All-in-1 laundry pods for £24.99, a notable reduction from the usual £36 price point.
A Popular Choice for Post-Festive Cleaning
According to the retail giant, this particular product has proven exceptionally popular, with over 6,000 units sold in the past month alone. It also boasts an impressive average customer rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars, based on nearly 4,600 reviews. Many shoppers have highlighted the brand's long-standing reputation for quality as a key reason for their purchase.
The pods are designed with an additional red chamber specifically for tackling stubborn stains, with Ariel claiming they can remove marks that have been set in for up to seven days. They are formulated to dissolve completely in both hot and cold water cycles, making them a versatile option for everything from delicate cottons to sportswear.
Sustainability and Consumer Feedback
Environmentally conscious buyers may also be pleased to learn that the capsules are biodegradable and have been certified by the A.I.S.E. Charter for Sustainable Cleaning. This certification acknowledges minimal manufacturing impact and commitments to good worker wellbeing.
Customer reviews on Amazon are overwhelmingly positive. One satisfied buyer stated the pods offered "brilliant cleaning power and convenience in one," praising their ability to tackle tough stains and leave clothes smelling fresh. Another simply said, "These pods have made my life so much easier."
Considerations and Alternatives
However, a small number of users reported occasional issues. One reviewer noted that the film casing did not always dissolve fully, sometimes sticking to clothing. Another mentioned they were not keen on the unscented after-smell, which they compared to cheaper washing powders.
For those seeking alternatives, other options are available:
- Dunelm's Ecover Laundry Capsules Bio: An 18-pack is currently half price at £3.50 (down from £7). These feature a lilac and rose scent and are made without dyes or optical brighteners.
- Splesh Three in One Xtra Stain Removal Capsules: Available from Debenhams, a 140-wash pack is priced at £22.99. These combine detergent, softener, and stain remover and are also suitable for cold washes.
The Ariel Platinum pods deal on Amazon is presented as a limited-time offer, providing a cost-effective solution for families looking to stock up on a reliable household staple. With each pod costing approximately 20p in this bulk buy, it represents a significant saving for consumers managing their household budgets in January.
