Does Persil Liquid ProClean from Walmart USA contain....
Comments (13)lets get this straight. I googled. I went to their website. I looked at the ingredients. nowhere does it say it has or doesn't have optical brightners, so get off your high horses. furthermore, the odor left in the clothes my wife washed in persil yesterday, aggravates my asthma, so I'm returning the Persil to Walmart. therefore, my original question is moot. People without allergy issues have no idea how bad some things can aggravate one's condition. over and out...See MorePersil Pro-caps
Comments (40)Our LAUNDRY FAMILY cracks me up!!! Ok, if two broken legs were not enough, I went in for a 3rd kill/victory late last night. I washed a med/sm. large sized load of kid clothes (100% cotton) and full of kid stuff (pizza, grass stains, random food stains, water based paint, etc....). Good New....E V E R Y stain removed. No pretreating. No Prewashing. Just one Persil Pro-Cap and 120F wash water (filled with cold, heated to 120F). Clothes look, smell and feel great. No rotten Persil scent yet... only clean and Euro. detergent smelling. BAD new.....SUDS-O-RAMA!!! Like insane suds. I had to do 5 rinses. FIVE rinses. I am stumped why none of you are having this. MamaP...you have soft water too, like we do! I like these caps too. They dissolve immediately, clean anything thrown at them, did not get stuck up on the rubber door boot (even without a mesh bra bad, HA HA!), the scent is clean and fresh and laundry was left soft. I will try calling Persil today, but they might be closed due to the holiday. I have 37 of these buggers left, and Walmart overcharged me. The shelf said Rollback price is $10.99 for a 40 count container. My receipt shows I was charged $11.97. Not cool Walmart!!!...See MorePersil Pro Clean
Comments (31)SEA SEA & HMorton, Re: the Phosphates. I was interested in the reason for their ban, I remembered there was a huge problem with them not biodegrading, and contributing to algae blooms which sucks up all the oxygen in an aquatic ecosystem, killing fish and other species. Basically all this stuff circulates back into our groundwater so it comes back to us too. But from another health perspective I would be EXTREMELY leery of using phosphates on anything you wear next to the skin for the simple reason that arsenic binds to phosphates. Obviously you don’t want arsenic being absorbed into your body or breathing in particles. Check out this LA times article: http://articles.latimes.com/1994-07-23/home/hm-19020_1_liquid-laundry-detergents “What else is in your laundry detergent? In Seattle, the water treatment utility recently asked the nonprofit group Washington Toxics Coalition to take a look. One of the things the researchers looked for was toxic metals, such as arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead and mercury, which earlier studies had found in high concentrations. These metals don't biodegrade in water treatment. Instead, they concentrate in sewage sludge or are discharged with treated water. The coalition didn't find tons of metals but did find a surprising correlation: The more phosphates a detergent contained, the more arsenic it was likely to contain. In fact, the coalition calculated that if everyone used high-phosphate detergents, that would account for 20% of all the arsenic that comes down the city's drain pipes--about 200 pounds of the deadly stuff a year. (Detergent manufacturers don't add arsenic to their product. The metal is simply attracted to the same materials phosphates are. When phosphates are mined from the earth, arsenic comes along, too.) “...See MorePersil Original Scent and Advice?
Comments (50)Yes fauguy. My family's laundry is grubby (smelly--trying to be nice here). I was reluctant to follow the advise here to do a pre-wash, then a main wash cycle for grubby/funky laundry. Rocogurl had recommended that when I was new here and I was reluctant. I'm in CA and well, you know, water--I was trying to avoid a pre-wash in a full fill top loader. Anyhow, I finally gave in, and it's what works for us. Thanks again everyone. I shall take the knocks on the water bill. Borax was also recommended here (I struggled immensely with man funk in DH's laundry), and Borax, thank goodness works very well for this problem for us. Using it in the pre-wash cycle and soak was the winning formula for us. The longer I soak, the more erased the funk gets. But minimum of 30 mins or else it's not worth the trouble for our needs. We are all different, as are our water conditions and washing machines. We have to find what works best for us. Between the collaborative brain trust here on the laundry room forum and my own experimentations, I'm in a much better place today with the left over odors (and I never what to go back). As for your question of what Borax would do you; It will boost your detergent's power.--help it work better by softening (for lack of a better word) the water. It also is a mild antimicrobial and for some us, it's stuff like that which is causing left over odors. It helps to cut grease and let it be washed away instead of sticking around causing you smell problems later on. If you struggle with funky, but otherwise clean laundry, it should help. It supposedly helps with removing stubborn stains, but I can't really vouch for that myself as with my powder detergents and Costco's liquid F&C ALL detergent, I don't really have problems with stains, but others here have to pre-treat or be left with some stains. You may not need Borax if your laundry is funk/odor free after a wash and your work out clothes remain fresh upon new perspiration coming into contact with them. If you have those problems, Borax might help. I hope that helps....See Moretwebbz
