Persil 2 in 1, Intense Fresh and Regular Persil liquids (gels)

8 years ago

I was in Rite-Aid yesterday, and they had all 3 varieties of Persil....2 in 1, Intense Fresh and Regular.

ALL 3 have the exact same ingredients listed, in the exact same order.

2 in 1 and Regular smell the same to me (smells virturally like Euro Persil gel).

BUT..."Intense Fresh" smells the lightest to me. How and why is this formula Intense Fresh? Lighter scent and same ingredients as the other two!

I am still using my 2 in 1 Persil about once a week and yes, I still like it ;) But Persil seems like a gimmick in the USA.

Anyone know any differences, or are these 3 formulas marketing B.S.?

2in1 has 5 enzymes Prolease Amylase Cellulase Lipase Mannanase

I think the only other US found detergent that has this many enzymes is Tide Pods all flavors.

yes, it's a mid - long term effect. Back in the seventies/eighties here in europe we had just regular powders with oxygen bleach and wool powdered detergents. The choice was between a too harsh detergent that faded dark colours and a too mild detergent that was uneffective with several stains. Since 20 years we have regular detergents *whitout* oxygen bleach that wash colours whitout fading. Some detergents have even anti transfer agents to wash "mixed colours" and dark fabrics with no damage. To have a clue my black jeans and coloured polo shirts back then faded a lot despite of warm washes, now they last for many years. Also : since round 10 years we routinely wash black, cherry red, green Ikea (so not the finest quality) towels @ 140Â°F with detergents for darks (as the likes of Perwoll Black Magic or Woolite for Darks) Black is still black, cherry red is still cherry red ... back those times it would have turned into grey and pink within six months Also be aware that powders may leave some unsoluble residues on dark fabrics. Washer manufacturers (miele included) reccommend to wash dark fabrics with liquid detergents. They say powder contain zeolites ( roughly speaking, clay) that are unsoluble and leave little unpleasant white grains on laundry. I feel those powders that use zeolites as water softener take ages to be rinsed properly and no matter laundry feels rather stiffer than if it were washed with liquids or other kinds of powders

LOL andi2928!!! I actually returned my last 2 batches of Persil MegaPerls. They also had, what I found to be a very unpleasant scent & the performance was actually awful. My gym clothes did not smell, nor look fresh & clean and dishtowels still had stains on them. I do not know if Persil has changed formulas....but it is nothing like what I have known, used and loved since the 1980's! Although Tide he Powder "Original Scent" has been ruined by P & G...it still cleaned better than my last 2 boxes of Persil MegaPerls (regular and for colours). Tide Original he liquid performed better too. Although either it is no longer made, or impossible to find....Tide with Bleach he Powder was amazing. I actually, for my whites, buy and use Tide with Bleach powder non-he. Since I have a front loader, that uses a lot less water than a top loader...I just greatly reduce the amount of powder. If using very hot or sanitize...it can produce a little too much suds, but it always rinses away clean from my clothes and machine. Smells clean and fresh too!!

THE BEST PRICE FOR PERSIL MEGAPERLS can be found at www.betterproductsonline.com. Here are links to the lowest price per load for both Megaperls products: Persil Megaperls Color @ $0.89/load Persil Universal Megaperls @ $0.89/load I have not been able to find these products for less on a $/load basis. The 5-pouch bundles of the 18-load 1.215 kg product at Better Products Online yields the lowest cost per load and lowest cost per kg ($13.17) that I could find online. I just submitted an order, as my current stock is running low. The above pricing is for the concentrated Megaperls products. They also contain the regular Persil Universal powder as well as liquid varieties and Perwoll. You may want to look those up to see if their prices are lower on those as well. Free shipping too!

Anyone try Persil?

Enduring, I don't add sodium percarbonate if I'm using a powder detergent with bleach already in it, but if I'm using a liquid detergent I do... even my STPP I don't add with every load anymore since I've lost my supplier, and haven't ordered from another place yet...which I have to soon as I'm very low. I think you should continue as you've been doing since you've been happy. With your harder water and farm life you may need the extra boost...so wish I lived on a farm in Montana...just like the settlers. Lol. I just watched Frontier house on youtube..3 families went back in time for 6 months to live like the settlers great show. Lol. It wasn't really a farm...but I loved it. See how I can go on and on..no wonder Alex thinks I tip a shot glass lol

I could be wrong but I think the Persil regular liquid has 3 enzymes. I know it doesn't have 5.

I tried the Pro-Clean Power Pearls when they first came to Wal-Mart. Not impressed. Fast forward a few months and I need to buy new detergent. I gave up on powder as I just could not get near as good of results as liquid. So, I decided to give one of the Persil liquids another chance. I went with the Intense Fresh. I've used it in about 5 loads now so far and I have been impressed. I love the scent and it seems to play well with any fabric softener I've used with it or even when I only used a bit of vinegar in FS dispenser.

DH needed new laundry detergent this weekend. (Yes, we each do our own laundry and pick out our own products.) I tried to get him to consider the Persil 2-in-1, but he's stuck on the Tide Plus Ultra Stain Release.

Oh, and I think it looks like there are 4 enzymes in the Intense Fresh, if I'm picking them out correctly - protease, amylase, cellulase, and mannanase.

PRODUCT INGREDIENTS:
WATER, ALCOHOL ETHOXY SULFATE, ALCOHOL ETHOXYLATE, ALKYLBENZENE SULFONATE, SODIUM CITRATE, SODIUM SOAP, ETHOXYLATED POLYETHYLENEIMINE, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, PROTEASE, TETRASODIUM EDTA,SODIUM BORATE, ETHANOL, FRAGRANCE, AMYLASE, SODIUM FORMATE, CELLULASE, MANNANASE, DISODIUM DISTYRYL BIPHENYL DISULFONATE, POLYDIMETHYLSILOXANE, BLUE DYE, LILIAL, HEXYLCINNAMALDEHYDE, LINALOOL

The 2in1 adds lipase to the mix, which removes grease stains.

Right, @whirlpool_trainee - that's why I suggested the 2in1 to my husband instead of suggesting that he try the bottle I already had. I'm not sure what the Tide Ultra has, but he thinks it works the best on his dirty work clothes.

Tide is a good detergent. .but I wouldn't use liquids exclusively in any machine.

The powders just do not work well with our hard water. It is also recommended to use liquid detergents on septic systems.

I was told by a Canadian buyer that the Intense Fresh was geared to a more "US friendly" scent vs the others which are more European. I hate them all lol except the perls. We have coldwater wash in Canada (liquid) and that's the one I tried thinking it was the least offensive. Nope. My washer still smelled three loads later (not using it).

Persil 2 in 1 is one of the few detergents that leave much scent after rinsing. Unfortunately it smelled like dead rotten things. The sensitive was much better for me.
