Our household uses different detergents. Every family member prefers a different detergents to used. I found out that half of my family use ariel and other half is tide... But I prefer to use tide because since i was young thats the detergent i already use. U which of the two detergents would you prefer to use?

Like you, I've been loyal to Tide for so many years. But these two detergents seem to be more effective than the others. Ariel is spectacularly good to use for tough stains and I've used it for kitchen towels. Although I am brand-loyal, I also like to try out new products once in a while. And that is how I got to know Ariel. And I use Ariel if there is a tough stain I need to get rid off. I think Tide could also get rid of the stain but I just use Tide because I like to use it, not for a particular condition. I've learned to use Ariel for tough stains, when and if I have the need.

Tide is a product much superior to ariel. It is harsh on dirt, soft on hands. Induses brightness on cloths,retains colour intensity. According to my estimate, cost savings on tide, will be about 10 to 15%.

I really wouldn't know because I use surf. I don't like to do it but I have to do it because I don't like anyone touching my underwear and so I wash my own underwear and usually I use surf. Does that make sense?

I think that ariel is far more better than tide, as we have used both separately i think that tide is more strong not only for stains but also for clothes that we wear. Whereas ariel is bit softer on clothes. and the second reason is that tide can only be used for white clothes and not for white clothes. And ariel can be used for both white and coloured clothes.

When Tide was introduced, I could see the difference but now I do not see any difference. I do not find anything extraordinary with Ariel, either. As a matter of fact, I have tried lot of study and found that there is not much of difference in any brabd of detergent. They all claim big things but they are more or less the same and there is no justifiction for some of them keeping their price sky high.

For me Tide is better in terms of price and quantity. Ariel is a strong dtergent and I've observed that it is best for pure white clothings for it causes fade-outs on prints like embroidered logos and the like...

i really don't stick to one brand. i use tide, ariel, and pride. it really depends on the budget, if too tight i use pride. if the budget allows, it's either ariel or tide. they have the same features. before ariel scent lasts long, but now not anymore.

Neither one. "ERA" is the best ever. The miracle soap of the century!

Tide is surely better. We've been using it from many years too. That Surf Excel.
