Persil Color - Optical Brightener
Comments (0)I was looking up ingredient lists for some Persil products and noticed this list for the new Persil Sensitive Color version I recently purchased. I thought the color versions did not contain optical brighteners?? Notice for anyone trying to avoid them that this version does appear to contain them as did some other color versions I checked. That seems odd? Also, have to say the one ingredient stood out (MELAMINE-FORMALDEHYDE POLYMER METHYLATED) ... this wouldn't be formaldehyde that we've been warned is not safe is it?!

Comments (18)I know there have been various opinions in the forum on whether shaking detergent in a jar to check suds, etc. actually proves anything. But I decided to try it with the Sears HE free I have and also reg. Ariel. When I used tap hot water, shook and then observed and let sit, the Sears had very little suds--probably 1/4-1/2 inch. The rest of the water was very cloudy and there was residue (white specks) in the bottom that didn't dissolve. The water never did clear up after sitting some time. I then did the same with the Ariel. It suds quickly to the top of the jar, but more like loose suds. After about 1/2 hr when I checked again, the suds had dissipated quite a bit and the water was clear although blue! There were also some undissolved specks on the bottom of the jar. When I rinsed out the jar after the Sears experiment, the specks actually stuck to the bottom and wouldn't rinse out, I had to scrub them with a rag. Am trying it again tonight with the Sears and will leave it sit overnight. (I did try that once with cold water and there was a gelatin type substance in the bottom the next morning with the specks but the water was more clear.) So does anyone think there is anything to the fact that the Sears HE stays cloudy and leaves undisolved specks? Would that hinder cleaning or rinsing well? I ask because since I have been using it I have noticed that the wash water (which I can see as it is programed higher) seems more cloudy than the other detergents I used but thought maybe it was suspended soil. I gave away a couple other boxes of non-HE detergents, but think I may try to pick up a small box or two of other free versions and see if they all act the same....See MorePersil ProCaps...do they smell like Persil ProClean?
Comments (29)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....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 Moretiki214l
