Which Persil detergent is best for whites?
Comments (3)Persil Universal Megaperls is the more concentrated version of Persil Universal Gold or Persil Universal powder. I use Universal Megaperls and they work well....See MoreIsraeli Persil anyone? If not, where to buy Persil?
Comments (15)oregpsnow said: You are certainly free to buy whatever you want. I am putting the money I don't spend on Persil into my retirement account. LOL! Believe it or not, I was a big proponent of Tide HE over Persil a few years ago. I even said the exact same thing you did - that people are crazy for spending so much on a detergent when they should be saving that money and putting into their IRA or 401(k)s. How well are all of our retirement accounts doing today, those of us who have anything left in them? I switched to Persil due to the fact that it cleans as well or better than Tide HE, the de facto leading domestic detergent, but doesn't cause skin irritation. My partner developed a sensitivity to Tide, and nothing else that I tried comes close to cleaning as well except for Persil. Bi-O-Kleen Premium does a good job, but it also lacks certain ingredients that prevent corrosion. I don't know if that's a big deal or not, so I'm proceeding cautiously in this regard. I don't want to use something that is not going to properly protect the metal parts of my washer, but then I don't even know if that's an issue at all. I had a choice of using a more sensitive detergent that didn't clean as well but also did not cause irritation, or using Persil which gave me the best of all worlds but at a higher cost. I chose the latter because I want clean clothes without itching. Persil Universal Megaperls contains five different enzymes to assist with stain removal, which I believe is more than most domestic products. Here is list comparing ingredients from Persil and Tide HE: Tide HE: Sodium Aluminosilicate Sodium Sulfate Sodium Carbonate Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate Water Nonanoyloxybenzenesulfonate Alkyl Sulfate Sodium Percarbonate Sodium Polyacrylate Polyethylene Glycol 4000 Fragrance Diethylenetriamine Pentaacetate (Sodium Salt) Disodium Diaminostilbene Disulfonate Palmitic Acid Protease Silicone Modified Starch ÃÂ Persil Megaperls: ZEOLITE SODIUM CARBONATE PEROXIDE SODIUM DODECYLBENZENESULFONATE TAED AQUA (WATER) SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE SODIUM CARBONATE SODIUM SULFATE SODIUM CITRATE 2-PROPYLHEPTAN-1-OL, 7EO SODIUM ACRYLIC ACID/MA COPOLYMER SULFONATED POLYETHYLENE TEREPHTHALATE CELLULOSE GUM PEG-80 ZEA MAYS (CORN) STARCH ALCOHOLS, C16-18, 7EO TETRASODIUM ETIDRONATE SODIUM SOAP C16-18 SODIUM BICARBONATE PERFUME CORN FLOUR HEPTASODIUM DTPMP PARAFFIN SODIUM CHLORIDE C12-18 FATTY ALCOHOL 5 EO SODIUM HYDROXIDE OPTICAL BRIGHTNER SODIUM GLYCOLATE PEG-14M COLORANT HYDRATED SILICA PROTEASE HEXYL CINNAMAL LINALOOL BENZYL SALICYLATE LIPASE AMYLASE MANNANASE CELLULASE...See MoreWhich Persil can be used in a HE Front Loader?
Comments (9)Reply to Cavimum (My Page) on Sun, Sep 2, 12 at 8:44 "Hubby and I cannot use the "Sensitive" formula on garments worn next to our skin. I itch like mad and he gets a rash. We figure it's the perfume, since free/clear detergents don't bother us." Thats just what happens to me. Especially if I'm outside and get hot or sweaty. I'm OK using the Seventh Generation Free and Clear but it isn't the best at actually cleaning my clothes. I used to love Tide before they went to the ultra concentrated. It cleaned great and I never had a reaction to it. Their ultra, however is a nightmare. This was in my previous top loader. I always use my front loader GE's extra rinse cycle. Here is a link that might be useful: Seventh Generation Free and Clear...See MorePersil 2 in 1, Intense Fresh and Regular Persil liquids (gels)
Comments (11)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....See Moremamapinky0
