This was my day to shop as well and I swung into Walmart to check. Persil was there, so I bought the liquid and the Perls.
I won't use them until Sunday or a day next week. I have a bottle of Persil for colors and the blue looks and smells just like it. The Perls smell like Megaperls for white but this will be interesting because I don't see anything about oxygen bleach. Although I wonder if we see the words bleach on the outside of Tide powder just to sell it. I mean there is nothing on the front of the box of Persil Megaperls for whites or Miele for whites to say it contains bleach. You can only find this out if you flip the box to see the list of ingredients. The listing on those boxes is in accordance with the EU labeling policies, but here in the USA we almost never see a complete list of ingredients for any detergents.
Chlorine bleach rules in the USA and I wonder how many people will still use it along with oxygen bleach anyway. I mean even the newer Miele machines sold in the USA have a chlorine bleach dispenser don't they?
I did look up the trade mark Pro white technology being used on the box. It just says that it was taken out in October 2014 by Henkel of Germany, and has to do with bleaching preparations and other substances for laundry.
One thing bothers me about the packaging before I even use it. The dosing cap. For the liquid and Perls it says to use line 1 for small loads and line 2 for larger loads. This "line one for small loads" is the practice in the USA so not too surprised. BUT where is the line? This red cap has no line - just like the rest of the Purex caps. Oh there are these small and large bars(as in bar chart) in the caps but you can hardly see them. The instructions also give you the dosing amounts in ounces so that's the way I will use it until I see how the stuff works.
For the Perls they will fall back down into the bottle if you shake them back but I found that the reason some of them are up at the top is because the bottle is full to the top. They may fall back into the container easier when there is less in the bottle or you could just widen the slit in bottom of the spout to allow them to fall back easier or I guess cut the thing out like Nmassman. I think this spout for the Perls was not the best thing, but It is probably cheaper to produce than designing something else. Never expected to see this in a liquid type bottle, but these containers probably fit better on the store shelves beside all of the other containers full of liquids.
I guess Henkel made an agreement to sell this to Walmart first. Not surprising since I think overall in the USA they are one of the largest supermarket type retailers. Next these need to get into all of the other stores especially Target and other popular stores throughout the regions of the USA.
Neuptuneguy Thanks for the first review of the liquid!
