Persil Powder gets a rave review

[jbrady3324]

Since I am unfamiliar with Persil. Is Persil Color Powder stronger than Cheer Powder? In other words, trying to determine if the extra cleaning power of Megaperls is necessary at the risk of more Zeolites.

I also noticed some Persil color powder boxes are Red and some are Green and Red. Any differences or just marketing of different sizes?

As to the color of the box I`d check their website before buying to make sure you won`t get old stock.

Good idea. I’ll do that.

Any insight on Persil Color Universal performance vs Cheer Powder? I’m concerned about the amount of zeolites in Megaperls. That seems like a very high percentage. Am I overthinking it?

Both Persil powder and megaperls for colour actually are better than Cheer. Persil comes out top or near in German consumer testing if that means anything to you.

Top colour detergents from Europe such as Persil don't require addition of oxygen bleach nor anything else in terms of neutralising chlorine or otherwise protecting colours, they've got that cracked.

In keeping with detergents for whites most German consumer testing ranks powdered detergents for colours better than liquid formats.

Thanks! So how does 1 choose between Persia Perls and Powder? Does it just come down to price per load to account for concentration or are Perls better in other ways too?

 

[launderess]

Things come down to personal choice really.

Megaperls being a compact and more concentrated powder has benefits tied to that format. This includes perhaps having less fillers than traditional powder. Though Persil "Universal" is fairly concentrated as well, it's only when you get to "big box" store sizes that things change IIRC.

Do the sums and go with whatever works best for your situation.

However....

I picked up the megaperls bag on the left but that is interesting and something to consider. I ended up grabbing some powder and some perls to see what I like more before committing to either.

I still have plenty of Tide Original powder and Tide WB powder left but I am curious if Persil is replacement for Tide Original or Tide WB?

More on SA 8

I have determined that one tablespoon of the SA 8 with two tablespoons of STPP gives very low foam washing and excellent rinsing.
