1 month of using Persil...
Comments (1)I use it too! Love it! I have to use 2-3 Tbsp. per load but it lasts a long time. I put the date I opened it on the top, makes me feel good when I see how long it lasts....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 MorePersil 2 in 1...the smell!
Comments (100)Persil works nicely for me. No objectionable odor. I don't recall any issues with stains. That being said, I'm using a stash of Pro Clean Power Pearls and Pro Clean 2-in-1 Liquid bought SIX years ago at the time Power Pearls was discontinued (I have one bottle of Pearls remaining) so can't say how the older liquid formulation and scent may compare to the current. I have hard water, although always spiked with STPP. Sudsing is manageable. Dosing the liquid is a bit trickier than the powder. I use 1 to 2 oz of either depending on the load....See MoreDa*n!

Comments (24)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....See Moremamapinky0
