Since we love US Persil LOL
Comments (48)Roc...if you noted above I also had the blue pearls which I thought I returned but apparently didn't since I found the buggers a few days ago. I haven't seen any more of the blue pearls at my Walmarts. They all look like the Euro Perls encluding the jug I bought a few days ago. Yes I bought more as I plan to test these and check for scent changes. I will do a small load of older bath towels that we don't use with them and chart down what I smell after there washed, than I'll put them away for a few weeks and than pull them out and use them charting the scent again. I'm looking for that rancid scent. And how long it takes an opened bottle to *go bad*.... I realize I have better things to be doing but I'm trying to figure out if the US pearls turn rancid in the bottle after its been opened awhile, if it turns rancid in the clothes after they sit awhile or if this stuff is just plain junk. I loved the US pearls for many months, smelled great, did a wonderful job on whites and suddenly my bottle sat for going on 2 months without being used and bam..rancid. not everyone is having a bad issue with this stuff, some have great results. Stay tuned....See More2nd batch of USA Persil Power Pearls...DONE. No more tries!!
Comments (40)@ recordaras.....Virtually no suds. I use one pod, and by itself...no boosters, scent enhancers, bleach, ammonia, oxi powder, etc... The suds are almost as low as Rosalie's Zero Suds. This is so strange....what is crazy sudsy in my machine and with our water gives most of you no issues, and then vice versa. I have used these several times with hot washes too (140-160F), and still very little sudsing, and if I do get a small amt....all 3 rinses looks almost drinkable. The Lavender Vanilla after drying is very soft and faint. It smelsl kind of like a day spa and I for sure smell a hint of the old, fashioned soft & powdery Tide powder. Love the scent (wish it was stronger ;)...See MorePersil ProClean Power Caps
Comments (23)Hi again everyone! Thanks again for the info. You have no idea how grateful I am. In case Larsi see this, I did buy the Tide booster anti-BO pods you recommended. I hadn't used them yet when one of my daughter came home for a few days from college for spring break. She brought her dirty laundry home with her and plopped it down in the bathroom where the w/d live. I recognized the laundromat smell. I know that smell. Very well. Our former front loaders were out of service much of the time and we had many adventures at various laundromats over the twelve years we had front loaders. It's a different smell--that of unfamiliar people's body odor. I know everyone's "smell" in this family, and then I know "laundromat washed laundry smell". Different animals. Anyhow, she had intense laundromat odor in her laundry. I gave her the bag of Tide anti-BO pods. I figure she needs them to try and override having to use communal washing machines at college. Thank you for the recommendation, but now those pods are off to live a better life in Santa Cruz lol. I'll get another bag in a while for here. So, on Friday night I did the pre-wash like you recommended MamaP. That is a great process. Wow! I'm embarrassed to say I've not used the pre-wash before. We are water-a-phobic here in CA and with my newish top loader I've felt guilty to indulge in such water luxury before. I used the pre-wash cycle and threw in half a scoop of powder detergent. Then I did a regular cycle with half hot water and half warm water with hubs only color clothing with borax with a 30 min soak (this Speed Queen seems like it is done with a cycle so soon I usually stop the machine after a few mins of agitation and let it soak. But that might just be me having been used to the long cycles on front loaders). Perfection! He doesn't know about my enrollment here in the Laundry Academy because I'm afraid he might send for a wagon to come haul me away to the loony bin if he found out. It was bad enough when the UPS man came and delivered a box of Persil last week. Hubs said, "but you have laundry detergent. Why did you order more?" Um, well, I may have a little problem with laundry detergents lol. So this thing happened yesterday evening. Unprompted, all on his own, hubs spent about 10 mins talking to me about he doesn't know what's different, but his clothes in the last few days have changed for the better. Ok. This is a man who doesn't think about laundry or even know how to turn on a washing machine. He was saying how his clothes feel much cleaner and smell so much better. He was gushing (!) about how he really likes that his clothes feel crisp and not slick or greasy (!!).He said it was wonderful to smell fresh clothing that wasn't perfumed, but was CLEAN and not his own body odor as he goes through his day. He said he can't put his finger on it, but if I've been doing anything different with the laundry, he'd really like it if I could keep doing cause he's really liking it. Awwww!!! Flutters in my heart. He wondered if it was our new Speed Queen washer and it took that long for the gunk to get beat out of the clothes...I told him that I've made some new friends in an on-line laundry room and I've been learning a lot of new stuff from them. I said, these people know laundry! You should have seen the smile on him. Too sweet. :) I thought I'd share with you :) He doesn't say much (anything) about his laundry, but apparently, he's been displeased with it just as I have been, but he never said anything about it. Thank you! So much! Rococogurl, I haven't used the boiling water yet, but in a few days I'll be ready to wash and soak my work towels, aprons, and client smocks and I'm going to use it then. I wanted to try the pre-wash cycle first because it's easier, but I will use it on hubs clothing when he has filled the hamper again. As for the Persil, I'll give it another try next week with the extra steps above and hopefully it does a better job for us. I used powder Cheer and Borax this weekend with excellent results. Yay!! I'm so happy!!...See MoreQOTD: So if not Persil Proclean Power-Pearls, then what???
Comments (35)Almost all of my sheets are white vintage percale, 100% cotton, a few vintage muslin, and a few modern day queen sets from Portugal 100% long staple cotton percale. ..I have 5 beds. Amiees gets done daily and she uses the Portugal sheets. The 2 boys each use percales, they are done every 3/4 days. Hubs percales every 3/4 days..and my percales every 2 to 4 days...everyone's pillowcase gets changed daily. I know I'm nuts. I probably easily have enough vintage sheets for 3 changes each, but don't rotate more than 2 sets each since I strip, put on the freshly washed and ironed ones, wash and iron the next set. Lol I think you should really like your new detergent and I'm looking forward to your review....See Morelivebetter
