Mums admit they’re the messiest parents As a busy Mum, you probably knew this already – but now it’s official.

New research into stains from Ariel Excel Gel has found that all too often Mums beat Dads in getting make-up, their children’s food and household stains on their clothes. In fact, 15% of Mums surveyed said they were the main culprits, compared to just 9% of Dads. No surprises, though, for who stain their clothes the most: kids.


The worst stains

Taking 76% of the vote, kids stain their clothes the most with yoghurt, which 32% of parents dread finding over fizzy drinks and jam. The survey also found that food and drink stains such as chocolate ice cream are a parents’ nightmare, with 46% saying they were worse than grass marks and mud.


Award-winning cleaning

Ariel Excel Gel commissioned the stain survey to celebrate it being nominated by Which? Magazine as the best of 85 laundry detergents they have tested in the last two years. Tested at a cool 30°C rather than the usual 40°C, Ariel Excel Gel got the highest test score, making it a Which? Best Buy. For more details, visit www.supersavvyme.com/Ariel
