Interesting Take On Powdered Detergent Market

[launderess]

Did two loads of table linens last night in the AEG

One used Persil color gel with a scoop of oxygen bleach, other was just Persil powder.

While doing the ironing noticed things done in Persil powder were cleaner, brighter, and stain free. Load done with gel was clean enough and so forth one supposes, but traces of marks (red wine) were still slightly visible. Mind you had pre-treated all red wine stains on both loads, so it is telling that even with a dose of oxygen bleach persil gel couldn't totally shift.

Used gel on one load because it was done on "delicates" and find Persil powder can be difficult to rinse.

Do they still have Persil powder available, I haven’t had it around me in nearly 2 years. I’m back on Tide powder, but I loved the Persil and truly miss it.

Persil Powder

Has been slightly harder to find since Miele gave Henkel the push in favor of their own house brand.

IIRC there is a Miele dealer or persons connected here in the group. Maybe make a general appeal and see what comes.

Hi Thomas

I do have Cascade Boil out.

I think it was John L. that said that it was kind of harsh on the components of domestic machines. I use it a few times a month in my 2004 KenWhirl Power Module with the Plastic Tank. Keeps that Plastic a pure white as the driven snow.

I used to love Electra-Sol and Finish powder from (OMG) 20+ years ago.
