All and Purex
on their add here, no Persil. Meijer carries it.

All the Rite-Aids in this state were either closed or switched to Walgreens that only specializes in ladies health and beauty aids. I doubt those near me even stock detergent.
Persil seems to be disappearing around here. They get about 2 feet if that of shelf space, and usually only one derivative, and that's it. Compared to the 20 feet the Tide family gets.. It's sort of disappointing. I emailed them quite awhile back but all they could basically say was speak to your store manager. But regardless of what actual location I go into they're all the same, even competing chains. I wouldn't be surprised if they've vamoosed from the Canadian market in the next year or two.
Well since everyone asked (NOT!), *LOL*
Persil is selling out fast, but Tide in particular the "Free and Gentle" liquid isn't.
Was going to add a few more bottles of Tide F&G liquid to my stash since it is one of few decent unscented detergents. But decided to hold back as now have stash of powdered detergent on way, and have a few quibbles with Tide.
While not scented per se, Tide "free" does have a masking scent that is noticeable and doesn't easily rinse from laundry. Subsequent laundering has wash water scented with whatever "not perfume" P&G uses as a masking scent for Tide F&G. All Free and Clear liquid doesn't do this for instance.
Also am sort of miffed that while P&G did give Tide F&G a decent enzyme profile, you have to buy the version with a "touch of Downy" to get cellulase. All versions of Persil however do have cellulase, so there you are then.

I bought Persil a few years ago, and truthfully wasn't too impressed. It was in a bottle, but wasn't liquid - but rather a beady type powder. I didn't think it got mud or ground-in dirt out as well as Tide or Sears Ultra Plus.
Tide & Gain liquid here too. Seems to me like there isn't much difference from Target's usual price.
That Persil "powder" in jugs
Was not much different if not indeed same as Persil "mega perls" sold by Henkel in Europe and elsewhere. In any event Henkel USA discontinued the product about a year or so ago much to the dismay of many consumers.
Shame really as it was the only version of Persil USA offered in a powder format and had an activated oxygen bleach system. This is where P&G has Henkel beat; Tide still comes as "Tide with Bleach" in various forms with P&G's patented activated oxygen bleaching system. This or various powdered detergents such as Tide or Gain will at least have oxygen bleach (sodium percarbonate), with or without an activator.

This leaves Henkel/Persil ProClean without a single bleaching or in wash stain remover product for USA market. Again P&G has this down in spades, so there you are.

Tide F&G
I really like the fact that it no longer contains OBAs. There is a new Tide Hygienic Clean FREE that does not have OBAs either, but only has 3 enzymes.

Who done told you Tide F&G liquid doesn't have florescent brightening agents? Cause it ain't true, not unless they've changed something recently.

Virtually every version of Tide powders, pods or liquids contain OBA. There might be the odd one off such as that PureClean, but otherwise...
Cheer was once P&G's detergent for colors, and at least powdered versions for most part didn't contain OBAs, liquids OTOH did for whatever reason.
