Questions for the Persil People

Dixieland

I will be interested to see how your test comes out. I have been using Persil now for about 5 years and love it. I have run out a couple of times and used something from the store while waiting for a new shipment and nothing seems to clean like the Persil. Although I have never tried the SA8.

Have you ever tried the Liquid Gel stuff?

Phosphates vs Phosphonates

Managed to dig up the following:

Phosphonate compounds containing more than one phosphonate group are effective sequestrants and possess other useful properties such as high water solubility, chemical stability, bleach stabilizing effects, and the ability to prevent precipitation of calcium salts at substoichiometric concentrations.

Phosphates remove hardness, reduces surfactant use, improves emulsification and dispersion, prevents re-deposition, and controls alkalinity.
