How the liquid Persil stands up to liquid Wisk?
I know there's a few Wisk lovers out there...
How the liquid Persil stands up to liquid Wisk?

I've started to see TV ads just this week. Judging from the reviews above, it sounds like Persil is well worth a try.
I've been using Gain HE powder (cheaper than Tide but I can only find it at Target) in the Affinity but the latest batch is very sudsy. I have a feeling the pearls would perform better.
I wonder if the "Neighborhood" WalMarts would carry Persil. I think those stores might not include the same level of low brow annoyances and aggravation that the big ones do.

Well..
To be clear. I don't eat in bed. I will say I did it a few times when I was much younger.. but, crumbs. Eh. It's hard not to make a mess. I will say, I will drink water typically in bed. And that's only because, I have a really really dry mouth most of the time, from side effects of medication.
Anyhow..
We were babysitting a youngster and had thought.. he was off to sleep. Nope. You can become distracted for 10 Minutes and have the biggest mess in the world on your hands. Now that I think about it... I should have washed them way before the stains had time to set. Although... I didn't want to until I had Bleach onhand.
If you wash something, and aren't able to put it into the dryer right away. You can end up with a nasty/possible mildewy mess. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Better Idea would be not to offer to babysit</span> but that's a story for another time

Do they have a scent free and non allergic version out yet? Has anyone seen it yet?

They do.
There's a sensitive skin Persil, with a clear/white formula. It's only available in the liquid variety. With that said... looking at the ingredient list, I'd bet it'd do a number over Tide Free & Gentle.

Unless Changed For The American Market
Persil Sensitive in all formulations has scent, supposedly hypoallergenic and tested/recommended by physicians but none the less it contains perfumes.
Henkel to my knowledge does not offer an unscented version of Persil or any of their detergents in any market. Years ago now Persil Sensitive *was* unscented, but then some fool thought it would be a good idea to change things so there you are.
Examined the ingredients in Persil Sensitive sold at Walmart and it does not contain protease but only amylase IIRC.
Tide free and clear is actually quite good IMHO. It cleans very well in cold, cool and warm water as well as hot, and truly has no scent. I like it for dress shirts and other garments you don't want scented as it may clash with your perfume/cologne. It is also good for bed linens if you don't want to sleep on highly scented linens.

I'll say this..
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">I used some Tide Free & Clear Pods, and loved them.</span> Keep in mind... I was not using my HE Front Loader, but instead a (older, pre-2010) water guzzling top loader. Everything came out really clean (lightly soiled load of colors) and everything just smelled Very Fresh, and soft to the touch.
I do have the Tide Free & Clear Liquid. I've used it several times in our FL and have never been too impressed. That being said, I've never been impressed with anything cleaned in regular Tide Liquid in our front loader, so there's that.
I have two bags of Tide Free & Clear Pods. They were free after coupon, and I couldn't find Tide Powder without the dreaded new scent. Need to find a way to use them
<hr />
Laundress. I know you sometimes use Tide Liquid as a pre-soak. Now that Persil is so readily available, I'm curious would you use it over your Tide?
<hr />
Also, is it just me? Or does Tide Clean Breeze smell differently? I recently.. pulled off a cap and almost gagged. It could just be me though, because... lately, I seem to me more sensitive to certain things.
I used to really like the smell of Clean Breeze. Too :/

I'm currently using All Free & Clear powdered as our daily driver. It cleans great and I am happy with it. If I use anything else (even Dreft) I itch like mad. I think it's the fragrances I am allergic to. I'd like to try some of the Persil Sensitive, but worry about having a reaction to it.

We went to Walmart Today
And they have all the Persil on the shelves right between Tide and Gain. And they gave it a considerable amount of shelf space.
I did find the Persil Sensitive. But it only came in the Giant size container, not a smaller size. I smelled some of it and it seems to be almost fragrance free. Not much in it to begin with. If I could find it in a smaller size I may take a chance on it. Has anyone with allergies tried the Sensitive formulation yet?

Here you are the original

Better than anything you can use
I dont think that the US version of Persil will be tha same as the EU version
I dont know why the do this..... It would be better to have Persil all around the globe available and the content of the packages would be the same....

It comes in Powder Pearls
Which is fairy similar to Powder, but.. I don't think we'll ever see a true powder here in the US. Powder is a shrinking & shrinking market... and unless something overnight changes, I think we'll see even less & less powder variations available.

Pre-Soak
No, wouldn't use Persil (for the record have about ten or so boxes in my stash of modern plus those cases of vintage), but would continue to use Tide liquids.
Powdered detergents will settle out if doing a long soak in a tub. Liquids do not have that problem. Suppose if one was doing a pre-soak in the Miele or AEG it would be different.

I won't set foot in Walmart, but I will and did order a bottle of Persil pearls from walmart.com
The Amazon price is outrageous, but less than what one used to pay at Miele retailers.

What surprises me is the Amazon price! I could understand it when Henkel was not selling Persil at a USA land store, and the stuff was shipped over in bottle or boxes but now with the bottles costing about $10 at a walk-in store I just don't get it. Not paying $30 for something I can get for $10.
Another question I have is about Walmart. This is not the store I shop at all the time but what is so bad about this store? This is the largest retailer in the USA. What is so completely horrible about this store that people are posting negative comments about it?
