Why this detergent earns its place
Ariel Professional Original Liquid is built for laundry that's actually dirty — kitchen whites, bar towels, uniforms that have picked up grease and ground-in stains through a working shift. The formula is strong enough to handle that in one wash, even at temperatures as low as 30°C, so you're not running a hot cycle or a pre-soak just to get things clean. It works down into the fibres to lift both the stain and the odour sitting underneath it, so linen comes out actually fresh rather than just rinsed.
Whites are the hard part of any commercial laundry, and this is where Ariel Professional earns its keep. Built-in whiteness technology keeps white garments looking white wash after wash rather than greying off over time, and the scent is deliberately restrained — enough to leave linen smelling clean without leaving a strong perfume on uniforms or table linen that then carries a smell into service.
Because the cleaning power is front-loaded into the formula, there's no need for pre-washing or soaking before the main cycle, which saves water, energy and staff time on a laundry round that's often squeezed into a tight turnaround. It's phosphate-free and bleach-free, so it won't degrade fabric the way harsher laundry chemicals can over repeated washes, and the packaging is recyclable once you're through it.
COSHH: six habits of safe chemical use
Control of Substances Hazardous to Health — the routine every commercial kitchen and cleaning cupboard is expected to run.
SDS
Read the label and the manufacturer’s safety data sheet — the pictograms tell you what you are holding.
Who could be harmed, and how badly? Judge likelihood against severity before anyone opens the cap.
Eliminate or substitute first, engineer and organise next — PPE is the last line, never the first.
Keep the controls working: check ventilation, dosing equipment and storage stay as they should be.
Everyone who uses it knows the hazards, the correct dilution and the PPE — before the first shift, not after.
Products and processes change. Reassess when they do, and keep the record that proves it.
