Ariel Liquid vs. CRUX Insta Matic: The Ultimate Low-Foam Machine Wash Showdown

Which Detergent Is Best for Your Washing Machine?

Ariel Liquid delivers strong stain removal but often produces too much foam, risking sensor errors and residue buildup. CRUX Insta Matic cream is engineered for front-load and top-load machines, offering controlled foam, 90% dirt removal at 300 ppm hardness, and zero residue in just 10 g per wash.

In-Depth Comparison

1. Foam Control & Machine Safety

• Ariel Liquid: High-foam formula designed for quick cleaning but can overflow, clog sensors, and leave drum residue.

• CRUX Insta Matic: Low-foam cream optimized for automatic washers, ensuring proper water flow, complete dissolution, and clean drum interiors.

2. Cleaning Performance in Hard Water

• Ariel Liquid: Efficiency drops above 200 ppm hardness, leaving dingy fabrics and scale in machine parts.

• CRUX Insta Matic: Maintains 90% dirt removal even at 300 ppm hardness, thanks to coconut oil surfactants and chelating agents.

3. Dosage & Efficiency

• Ariel Liquid: Requires 30–50 ml per load (15 g solids equivalent).

• CRUX Insta Matic: Only 10 g per load—up to 100 washes from 1 kg pack, reducing packaging waste and cost-per-wash.

4. Skin & Environmental Impact

• Ariel Liquid: Contains phosphates, enzymes, and optical brighteners; potential skin irritants and water pollutants.

• CRUX Insta Matic: Free of phosphates, fluorescents, and caustic soda; biodegradable cream protects skin and waterways.
