Persil from Walmart - wasteful container

8 years ago

I tried the Walmart Persil beads and I love it, seriously love it. It got rid of some grease spots that have been in place forever. I am hooked.... HOWEVER... I have rarely seen such poorly designed containers. Hard to pour out since spout isn't lined up to handle properly. And now, I am at the end of the first bottle and starting the second. Because the spout level is poorly designed, I can't empty the end of the bottle out, and that's an entire load's worth! I'll have to cut apart the bottle.

And then the new bottle, there is an excessive amount in the exterior rim of the spout, again, due to poorly designed spout.

So,is there another easy source for Persil and is it in a better container?

Yes, you can buy the Euro Persil in a box from the Persil Store. You can get every grain out of there. But you will complain about the price. It's great stuff. Get a container that works and transfer it when you buy a new one.

I agree, it's poor design. Just pull out the spout. It's quite easy. It solves the problems you state.

outrage with bagged cypress mulch from walmart

"This is just silly." To this, I will agree and say, "no $+hit!" As for the "DAFT" comment, no need to be rude. I find WalMart to usually have many QUALITY products at a fair price, which some snobs do not dare tread out of fear of catching cooties. I shop at WalMart frequently and save money every time. I am very frugal and know how to shop and how to spend. As for Scott's: their days are numbered. I didn't want a recurrence of last year. As for being embarrassed for posting, why should I? We should all be able to expect a quality product from the manufacturer. It doesn't matter if it's dog food, carpet cleaner, or mulch. Performance matters. QUALITY CONTROL SUCKED AT THE MULCH FACILITY. When that cypress was sent through the chipper, it had all kinds of "road trash" or underbrush debris. The company didn't care and they sent it on to the consumer. You seem to forget, I am not the only person that had the same results. This was NOT a 'one bag' problem. Many of the people I came into contact with that bought the exact same mulch had similar problems. Furthermore, FYI the nursery that I usually purchased my pine mulch from was 'out' of cypress mulch, hence 'why' I bought bagged mulch from WalMart; plus they were a quarter a bag cheaper than HD at the time of purchase. Do the math... :D Had the mulch been a quality product, there would have been no problems. Let's let this be the end of talking about this mulch. This truly is old news. OK? Peace.

Persil & STTP

gates1, I've actually been using the "Free" version of Sears HE powder since we got our Miele. Given that we want to use a non-scented powder with the official "HE" logo, it's the only choice I know about. It gives us far better results with the Miele, then we got from Tide Free liquid in our old top-loader. Sudsing is practically a non-issue; can get some suds with a very small load that has room to splash around. Everyone in the family, except me, uses nothing but the Sears powder in the machine, and has no interest in adding anything else. Recently I've been adding a tablespoon of STPP to most loads, because it removes any off-odors (my sense of smell is too acute for my own good), and also seems to make items like towels come out softer. The lower the wash temperature, the more pronounced is the overall difference that STPP makes, I think. My wastewater goes into a septic tank, so any environmental effects are limited to my property. Am I correct that Persil, except Persil for colors, includes an oxygen bleach? Sears Free powder doesn't, so I add oxygen bleach to some loads. Still finishing the Clorox 2 Free powder (hard to find) that I got in Wal-Mart last year. Someone here pointed out that the washing soda in Clorox 2 contributes to sudsing. When it's finished, I'll use the Ecover non-chlorine bleach powder that person recommended. It's pure percarbonate. Can also buy percarbonate from chemistrystore.com.

Sandy - you are 100% right. Using real/unknown names can make people feel confused or alienated and that's not at all the spirit of the forum! My apologies. I was writing Larsi a note via other media at the same time as that post and slipped. I've gone back and corrected it. For the record, I really am Alex. Or Alexander to my mom; Alexandre to my French family and colleagues; or Xander to some college buddies. You can call me anything but late for dinner, as my dear aunt would say!! Oh, and that aunt actually called me Ali. Ha Ha. Humans are weird.

Persil ProCaps...do they smell like Persil ProClean?

I don't know what I will do if Cheer is discontinued. I have many boxes of original (non-HE, Larsi-scent) Tide powder and probably have a box of the large Cheer. If it's gone I'll probably have to go to an unscented or maybe Miele Color powder. I was actually in the Miele store today because my vacuum just stopped working. They are now selling laundry appliances and detergent, whereas previously they only dealt with the vacuums and floor care. They have both Miele detergents and a variety of Persil. When I go back to pick up my vacuum, I'll probably get some liquid Persil (euro). I've never tried it.

(Note to self - go slow and work over the machine tub or something easily swept up.... pulling out the spout (put finger down into spout) is tight at first and then wooosh!)

:-) glad it worked! I agree it was a mistake putting the powder in a liquid container. I like the container, the pouring spout not so much.

GERMAN Persil is much, much better than WALMART Persil!! To me, there is no comparison. I will continue to either have my German & Swedish family send it to me, or I will pay the crazy high price on Amazon! Honestly, I'm much happier using Tide he pods or he powder, than Walmart Made in USA crappy Persil. My 2¢

I wasn't too impressed with Persil myself. Waaaay to many suds in my machine. I'll stick with Tide and Cheer!

larsi, I've got original Proclean and the German Persil for colors and they appear to be identical. I get the same results.

Email the company and tell them what you think of the bottle. Maybe, you will get some coupons?? Who knows?? ;)

rococogurl.....Wow! I guess I am happy for you ;) I seriously hate it. Several loads smelled like "vomit" after they were dried. I thought I was crazy, and then I read several reviews on Amazon, where users said the Walmart persil smelled like throw up after drying. I was like...OMG, I am not "that" crazy! LOL I have used German Persil for close to 20 years, and the Walmart Persil was the first time that several cooking stains did not come out of my dish towels, and several "kid" stains in my son's clothing remained. Bummer!!

The only difference I've noticed is that the American perls are not quite as good at plain old dirt as the original. There's a faint shadow on white socks vs. none with the German stuff.

I would love to use the liquid on colours, but Henkel decided the American market needed OBA's. I've noticed a big difference in the fading/ shadowing since I started using detergents without them.

@larsi - sounds like what happens when I use Tide LOL

Water seems to be so different from place to place. Whatever works, I say. I stocked up on the Euro stuff thinking it was going away. Then someone gave me the Walmart blue liquid. I haven't tried the American perls yet. It takes me a year to use up one of those Euro boxes so I've got a long lead time.
