Wow...I predict vying for "10,000th View" is going to be a bloodbath, LOL!
Has anyone tried that coupon that I posted? I printed my limit out and tried to check out, the guy didn't know how to run coupons and couldn't figure it out... I have to go back up there and try with someone else, but let me know if anyone else has issues with them... They are from Persil's proclean facebook page and it prints from walmart.com.
I've had other coupons that use the coupons.com plugin work.

Curious..
Are we talking about the original "original scent"
Or the P&G "GoGoBoy Inspired Night with a touch of Sweet Bubble Gum Twist" Fragrance they replaced the original scent with?
Oy. I'm still trying to get over the latter. The old scent smelled so clean, so classic, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">iconic</span>. It's sad to see the company's direction, and watching it slowly fail.

THIS JUST IN: Merriam-Webster has changed the definition of irony to "Person who started online conversation about Persil garnering nearly 10,000 views has yet to try said detergent."

P&G is a global company so why be sad if you think it is failing? It is in a down turn in the USA but not in other countries. Everything is global...nothing is local....nothing is only USA, Nothing is only North American except the taxes paid, so I have decided to use what ever company does what I need, regardless of where it is located.
Sounds awful doesn't it, but it is the truth. P&G is spending most of it's resources in countries other than the USA because it considers the USA as a mature market...in other words...it can't any more out of us so it moving to places that don't know that much about them so they can make more money with a new thing.
I say, let them have THEIR way and I will HAVE MINE with what works for ME regardless of where it is made or where the company is based.

so how much is half a cap?
Theres hardly any laundry in that machine so no wonder it has foamed up.

Um.. it really doesn't say to use 1/2 a cap. It says to use line 1 and line 2. There is little difference between the lines. I think line 1 is 6 tablespoons and line 2 is 7. I don't like the cap as I stated earlier but I think 1/2 of cap is above line 2 which is the max you use for large heavily soiled load. My other thought is that since this can be used in a top loader as well as a front loader using a front loader may mean that you can use even less than they recommend.
My best bet with any new detergent is to start with the least amount they recommend and then go up or down until I know what I am doing with it. I started with less than line 1 and that works well for all of my loads however I have the machine full of clothes when using less than line 1. I will use less than that if I have a small load or the clothes are not dirty - no visible marks of filth.
For the Perls I just use no more than 2 tablespoons at most and that works for heavily soiled whites. I like to use the least amount of product that gets the job done and that way I save a bit of money. I have a smaller machine though. What kind of machine are you using and how big?
What did the last rinse look like?

These dreadful caps
I just went to the Persil web site, looked at the bottom of the screen and found a place to contact them.
I left them a comment about the caps and suggested that they do a complete redesign of them.
So if you don't like the caps, or don't like that bottle the Perls are in go to the web site and whine like I did. The more comments about it the better.

Persil Cap Line 1
Line 1 on the (powder) cap I have is three tablespoons. Line 2 is four tablespoons, maybe a smidgeon more.

I got curious after seeing the suds from the liquid so I did a load using the liquid and filled to line 1. These are towels; bath, hand, wash, dish, which can be sudsy and hard to rinse anyway.
Pic one is the wash, Pic two is the first rinse, Pic three is the last rinse with Gain fabric softener added.
So I think you need to give the detergent some dirt to work with to avoid too many suds.
And don't worry the pink is not going to ruin the whites. These items have been washed together every other week for the last 6 years and there is no harm.

The proclean 2 and 1 is not even on the Persil web site. I found the online walmart advertisement and from that it looks like it is supposed to be stronger than the regular liquid. It may be that, but when I see pro lift I think of Acti lift which is the thing some P&G products have. You would think it was lifting stains off, but instead this stuff coates the items with something that makes it harder for stains to penetrate the fabric in the first place. I think you need to wash the clothes in it a few times for it to take effect.
Anyway not sure what this proclean 2 is but I don't want something coating my clothes just so stains won't stick if that's what this stuff is doing.

Comparing the ingredients of the Original liquid with the 2in1 version, the 2in1 has one extra ingredient "Trisodium Ethylendiamine Disuccinate" listed.
Seems it`s an additional builder - water softener.
Should be great for hard water areas or when dealing with heavy soil, but I could also imagine it might produce more suds than the other versions.
Their website states it`s the most powerful Persil detergent. I wonder what genius came up with that BS. I mean doesn`t everybody associat 2in1 with built in conditioner ?

Clearly there isn't as your not washing much and you over dosed.
User error.....
Looks like the euro ways are set to take over. That should have the die hard Tide and TL set frothing at the mouth LOL.
