I recently changed to Persil from Arm & Hammer, I started to notice that my clothing felt kind of sticky after washing and drying, which I didn't experienced with Arm & Hammer. I'd like to hear about your experience with Persil and some other detergents |

I've just finished up my first bottle of Persil 10 in 1 tonight. Been using it for a couple months in my Maytag FL.
The smell was a tad strong for me, but in my machine, and with my soft water, I was dosing it on the low end for light and normal loads. And it's been one of the best detergents I've ever used. Definitely in the Top 3 for me along with Tide HE and Method detergents. Sorry to hear it's leaving film on your clothes! What I've learned from my own house, and many posts on here......is that water chemistry seems to have a huge differential effect on peoples' results. Even if we're talking about the same detergents and same machines. But different towns, and different water sources really cause diverse results it seems. |

As I can't stand the smell of Persil, I save my bottle of it for cleaning rags which always come out feeling a bit soapy and sticky. Not sure if a second rinse would change that. |

I will admit, it smells good, even after the dryer.....
and even after three rinses, the first detergent I came across that I have an allergy to.....go figure.....you could be on to something left behind in the clothing......sheets and towels are fine, just some reaction to clothing I wear.... water hardness and Ph levels can have odd reactions, for me, it has to do with scents, if my tanks are out of whack, no matter what detergent/scent you use, there is nothing left behind.... especially the Ph tanks, who knew it would cancel out scents? |

I can't believe how little amount of Persil I need in my SQ front loader. We don't have really dirty clothes either.(Lots of synthethic fabrics) I never use Fab Soft and have never noticed a residue or lingering odor. Whites towels and sheets I use oxy and vinegar as my softner. |

I reduced the dosage because I don't have really dirty clothes either, my other theory is that my fabric softener is leaving that residue, but it began after I switched to Persil. I'm gonna give it a try doing a load with no fabric softener and I'll tell you the results... |

This is the third version of 2n1 liquid and it seems like the rinsing has been improved. This load was washed using the suggested amount of 59ml or line 2. This is the first rinse.

I think they turned down the scent by offering the "clean linen" or "fresh linen" scent. Which is a good thing, since most people complain that the scent is too loud. I don't care for the scent myself; glad I stocked up on the Power Pearls before they disappeared completely. The scent is the same, but probably at a 50% less than the liquids.
. Has anyone used the white, sensitive formula? The enzymes in it are slightly different, and would use it if it cleans as well as the scented formulas... |

I see the clean linen scent on the web site. Never seen it in any store I go to and it doesn't seem to be in the 2n1 line. Maybe just change the scent to something pleasant and non defining but subtle. |

It got some pretty dirty clothes sparkling clean with no fading despite the hard water. It's a truly amazing product, JMO |

From the looks of the green liquid and your container it might not be the same formula Persil that is being sold to all of the USA. USA Persil is blue and in a different bottle. I've tried German liquid Persil Universal and it is Soo sudsy in my water so as to be unseable for me. The blue liquid is different. |

I've seen the blue liquid sold in the US, I think it is a different formula too; the green gel has a high grade of viscosity, which I think is what makes it harder to rinse out from laundry. |

You asked above about Costco's Kirkland detergent. A few years ago Consumer Reports rated it higher than Tide here in the States. I used it for a long time in my Asko front loader. The only reason I stopped was that I no longer have a Costco membership. Whether it's still the same formula today I do not know. |

Sells here in USA
Green is the color of Persil Kraft "Universal" gel sold in Germany and elsewhere, as PeterH points out the stuff sold here in blue. To make matters more confusing Persil gel from Germany for colors is blue. Other tidbits: Have noticed Persil sold in other markets outside of Germany/Europe have "German technology" written in whatever native language product is sold. Have seen Persil offered in Saudi Arabia, UAE and so forth with same marketing. One does wonder where the stuff is made. To OP; all Persil gel/liquid products are high in surfactants; that is what gives them their good cleaning ability. Sadly as with any other liquid cleaners using to much and you'll have a hard time rinsing. |

Being an Ariel detergent user (My grandmother, my mother, and moi) I'm loving the Ariel Excel Gel we have here in UK. It's supposedly good in a 15c/59F wash all the way up to 60c/140F. The one I'm using at the moment is the one with Febreze. I don't know if you guys in the US can find it over there but if you do, try it! :)

I got Persil powder and it did give nice results, got a little sudsy but rinsed out beautifully and there's no sticky film in my clothes... Looks like powder isn't HE so I put 1/4 cup of detergent for a large load and everything came out fresh and clean. |

As far as I know all German Persil is He It's just not marked as such. Persil powder is not sold to the USA. If we want it we have get get it from other countries. |

This is the Persil powder sold in Mexico, liquid does have the HE symbol but powder doesn't and suds up more than liquid, so I think this detergent is not HE... Even when it suds up more than liquid rinse results are pretty good. |

You will not find "HE" on any Henkel/Persil that is sold/marketed in Europe.
That concept does not exist outside of United States or perhaps North America. In Germany as with much of Europe nearly all detergents are suited for the main type of washing machine design sold on that side of the pond; H-axis. If Henkel is slapping "HE" on Persil packets sold outside of Europe, then it tells one that the detergent is being marketed differently than say in Germany. Henkel introduced Persil to Mexico in 2011. That is one of the few Latin American markets Henkel owns the brand rights for Persil. Nearly everywhere else is Unilever's territory. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persil... www.persil.com.mx/inico.cky.htmlQ... As have said Henkel has been on a tear setting up new markets for Persil. The key give away always seems to be some marketing blurb about "Germany Technology" in whatever native language. The powder shown in above pictures looks exactly like the Persil one purchased off eBay last year in a box with Arabic writing. Where Henkel is making all these different versions of Persil for foreign markets one does not know. It is interesting that Henkel only released a "cold water active" version of Persil in Canada and Mexico, skipping over the USA. |

Omg, I didn't remember those tv commercials until now... but well, I think I'm gonna stay going with Persil powder, it gave me excellent results in every way, just wished it was a bit less sudsy but my final rinse is almost clear so I'm okay with it. |
