not the best I had
I tried the sample on normal washing, no dried stains really, so can't judge the Actilift. Seems just as good as other Ariel products, but it bothers me that I can't choose the amount of liquid to put to the washing machine. The other thing - Excel gel washing liquid removes stains perfectly, but you need to apply directly on stains - you can't do this with liquitabs. I won't be buying more of these, but I think it may be suitable for someone...
