The robot was placed inside a glass box in Stockholm Central Station. When a player was lucky to stain one of the 1010 garments, it was washed live with Ariel Actilift in front of tens of thousands of Facebook onlookers and passers by before being sent home to the winner. All in all, over 1000 'proofs' of Ariel's stain-fighting power!
