It's available through Amazon! That way it's delivered to your door! I bought a box of "mega-perls" through Amazon.

I bought the same box of Mega Perls plus a "special edition" box of Persil on Amazon after I brought a used Miele washer & dryer home in April. I've been using the mega perls in it and I LOVE the scent!

Made by our very own Jon Charles (Jetcone). It does work quite well and there is 0 suds. I also have some Persils powder with the pearls. I also have some Cheer powder that i like to use on sheets and colored clothes but i think when my current supply of cheer runs out i think i may let it go.

All German powdered detergents didn`t come with a meassuring cup for at least 20 years or so.
There is a telephone number and an internet address above the dosing chart on your box where you can order a meassuring cup if you don`t have one. In the beginning we`ve been told by the detergent industry it was a messure to avoid unnecessary plastic waste as you could use a meassuring cup again and again. I suppose the real reason behind it is to maximize profit combined with green washing a product which is otherwise rather harmful for the environment. I don`t think they`d ship to the USA, well you could still try to order one and maybe use a Pyrex cup or tablespoon or something similar in the meantime. |

Are any of those Persils OB free? And how can you tell?
@Gyrafoam, hows that Bendix treating you? Does it really bend? Also, I've seen that HTD stuff before, but I'm wondering if for residential, you run a big risk of all the STPP turning into TSP. Just because it'd be sitting around. I've heard that happens to people who buy the chemistry store tubs of STPP. Shipping is $23 for me which makes it a $75 purchase. Equivalent of Tide powder would cost $68 ($11/4lb), so not a huge difference. I might try it. |

Are the versions from Germany. Specifically "Colors" (powder, mega perls, and gel), then the various "Perwoll" delicate detergents. The one for blacks/darks (began as FEWA, went through a few changes and is now "Intense" or some such), also does not contain OBAs.
Everything else from Henkel/Persil is loaded with OBAs IIRC. All of the Dial/Henkel Persil offerings have OBAs. |

For darks, I use Woolite HE Liquid for darks. It really does help preserve deep black colors. And It doesn't suds too much, at least not at 105F in my Neptune 7500.
For the rest I've been using Tide powder. For really stubborn stains I may boost with about an ounce or less STPP, even for the Woolite. It does not seem to fade colors either. |
