CR Test Results and Persil

I just did my first load of whites with Persil Power Pearls, I am not impressed. I can't see that it did any better job than the Arm&Hammer Clean Burst liquid that I have been using. I bought it expressly for whites, sorry I wasted the $11.97+9.5% tax. I can only hope that continued use will render better results.

Eddie I'm sorry you didn't have good results with the Persil Power Pearls. I actually have great results. Last several loads I did of whites I used 1/2 dose of persil pearls and 1/2 dose powder tide with bleach, STPP, and 130 degrees..amazing results. Cheryl

I haven't tried Persil yet. In their defense, the top rated was the 2in1 liquid. The Power Pearls scored lower. But I use the Sears Ultra Plus and it scored even lower and I think it cleans amazingly well. lol
I just saw a bag of Ariel powder at Family Dollar. It smells wonderful…I may have to pick up a bag and try it!

I have been using both the Pearls and Original liquid since shortly after it hit the shelves, and I don't plan on using anything else anytime soon. I have found it to work far better than any other detergent I've used, and has a light, clean scent.

I'm picturing the P&G big guys sitting at a round table right now making plans for ** new improved TIDE** of course the scent will change again and probably not for the better. But in defense of P&G the powdered tide with bleach and powdered tide free and clear are very good performers at least IMO.

Last time I heard Tide was first, Wisk was second.
So is Wisk in third place now?

Impressive test results for the Pro Clean Liquid 2-in1 version! I'm still in the honeymoon phase with Tide's suds-killing Turbo line...but I'll be near a Walmart later today and may just pick up a bottle of Persil to test it out at home in very soft water.
I'll say this much: I'm impressed that Persil Pro Clean and two of Tide's detergents clean so well in cool (75 degrees) water. We would have considered that cold water a few years back. Looks like CR isn't even testing detergent in warm (90 degrees) water anymore.
100 degrees was considered the optimal temp for warm water for decades. That's considered 'hot' these days. Ah, how things change.

Thank you Launderess!
In the last sentence, it said the two lower rated Persil products beat Tide HE Turbo Clean! Vey's mir. Looks like those suds aren't the only thing falling down on the job.

Note: Sorry if a similar post pops up. The one I typed moments ago seems to have vanished into the etherworld.
CR tested only the plain version of Tide Turbo, which scored the same in its non-Turbo version. I'm waiting to see how the top-end liquid Ultmate Stain Release does in its Turbo form. I haven't noticed a decrease in cleaning ability with the Turbo pods.
Having said that...I'm a little disappointed pods---especially Tide's---haven't improved enough to rival their liquid and powdered siblings. As is my tendency, I'm getting bored using the same format and have started to drift back toward liquids/powders. Still using Tide pods as the daily driver, but not exclusively.

I never go into WalMart unless absolutely necessary but I may have to today to get some Persil! LOL. I wish they sold it in other stores...

I'm confused
When you look at their rating chart (I have a subscription and can view this), the cleaning ability appears to have been measured only for cold water. I see no rating of cleaning power in warm or hot water. Also, they appear to have compared Persil (presumably an HE product) with a non-HE Tide version. I wish it weren't apples and oranges.

No wonder the pearls scored lower if they used just cold water... But I'm happy that P&G finally have some competition! Usually the consumer wins when that happens.
Tide tests all detergents in 75 degree water because that is what 2014-2015 washers deliver when set to 'Warm'. Most new washers dumb-down 'Hot' water to around 100-105 degrees, as did my 2013 Frigidaire Immersion Care. Fortunately, my 2010 Frigidaire front-loader still delivers tap-temp hot water. This is why I wouldn't consider buying a washer without an internal heater anymore. At least you can get truly hot water using Allergy, Steam, or Sanitize options.
I have an online subscription for CR, as well. I like it well enough to keep renewing, but there's so much more they could offer. The detergent ratings are in two sections; one for HE and a very small one for traditional detergents. I'm pretty sure all the Tide and Persil products in the HE section are, indeed, HE.
Add my thanks to the list, Launderess, for providing everyone a link to CR's free section!

Whoops: First sentence in post above should read "CR tests all detergents in 75 degree water because..."

Scent
I purchased a small jug of the Persil Original liquid. I felt as though it did a good job cleaning, but the scent was way too strong. I know they offer a sensitive version, but that didn't smell pleasant either. Wish they offered a scent free version.

I just bought a small bottle of the 2in1 today and yes, the scent is VERY strong. I was getting a headache from my tshirt I washed today. LOL. The Fresh Scent was ok. I wonder if the powder is not as strong?
The powder isn't bad at all.
