Persil is over 100 years old. Celebrated its centenary earlier this decade.
Persil (Unilever UK & Ireland)
Persil in the UK and Ireland celebrated its 100th birthday with a re-run of 100 years of ads and a special re-design of the packs for the anniversary.
I think Persil in Germany, which is made by Henkel, had its 100th anniversary a few years earlier.
Unilever holds the rights to the Persil name in the UK, Ireland, France and New Zealand (and possibly a few other places too) due to an agreement with Henkel made quite a long time ago.
The two products serve the same purpose - high end laundry detergents, but their formulations are totally different.

I want!
I want to try out Persil. I'll have to buy it online I'm sure. I'm sick of using Procter & Gamble products all the time! But Tide does work the best for me I suppose.....

Guess all the other mules died from old age!
Or corporate downsizing has gone too far!
Really, I don't understand the question. Why ask what is the oldest then exclude old brands? (By the way 20 Mule Team Borax is not a laundry detergent).
But:
1. If we're talking about the oldest company that makes a laundry detergent, or the detergent that has been on the market the longest, the answer would be, for the USA, Procter & Gamble and their Dreft line, which was the first synthetic laundry detergent, introduced in 1933.
2. Other laundry products for washing clothes have been on the market longer, but were, like Persil, soap originally, not detergent. Ivory Snow and Fab both go back before 1910.
