Washing colder is a big step towards a brighter future for our planet, because every degree really does make a difference.

Challenge friends and family to lower the temperature next time they do their laundry and, when we hit 1 million pledges, we'll donate £100,000 to WWF's climate, polar and wider conservation work. We'll also make a donation for every Ariel PODS® Cold Wash special pack purchased3.



Every degree makes a difference

 Info section #1
Why cold wash matters

Lowering the temperature of your wash is the most important factor to reduce the environmental impact of the laundry process. Up to 60%1 of laundry's carbon footprint comes from heating the water - that's more than packaging, production and shipping!

 Info section #2
How cold wash helps

Turning your wash temperature down can save up to 60%4 energy in every wash, showing that every degree you choose, makes a difference.

Can small changes at home really impact the environment?

Because the Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet, we joined scientific leader, Martin Nielsen, and soil science geographer, Birgitte Danielsen, at their Arctic station in Greenland to find out.

even in cold

In a world that’s getting warmer, we go colder. Ariel PODS® are designed to work effectively in cold to remove tough stains. Save energy, protect the clothes you love, and reduce your impact on the environment. Here's how it works:

Our inspired-by-nature Purezyme technology, targets tough stains even in cold water, to deliver a deep hygienic clean. It breaks stains into smaller pieces so they can be washed away more easily.



Guided by science, we're continually committed to reducing the impact of our products through innovation. The lifecycle analysis helps us identify the lifestages where small changes can have a big impact. While we've designed our products for colder washes, we're also acting on other areas to help make our products greener every day.
