I'm almost out of US Persil Proclean Power Pearls and wonder what to look to next. I've been more than impressed with the Proclean! Any suggestions? Thanks! Greg | ||

I will say that I still find nothing beats Tide with Bleach powder for cleaning and brightening. However, I cannot abide the scent at all so will have to find something else. Even Tide Mountain Spring's scent has changed and is very much like Tide with Bleach. I just don't understand it... | ||

 Interesting that you can't stand the Tide with Bleach fragrance. I don't care for strong fragrances of any type and the Tide powder with Bleach leaves very little scent after the dryer. I can't even say I notice it.
I use 1/4 cup in my Neptune front loader with the extra rinse option.
Any of the scented Tide liquids leave a much stronger scent that lingers after drying. That's the primary reason I still use the powder. | ||

Have found trick with nearly all Tide detergents
Is to use the smallest amount that will get the job done, and rinse well.
Am working way through a few bottles of various Tide liquids (Stain Release and Regular/Turbo) While normally couldn't abide any scented version of Tide, find if use about 15ml or so and following with good rinsing; things emerge with a *fresh* scent and not too much of an overpowering whiff. | ||

@foraloysius Yes, that’s exactly it, they way they say it on the YT videos I’ve seen. We say it as in the ad below, a nice musical advert and the word Persil is mentioned about 10 times, you know for verification of pronunciation :-D | ||

 Americans are buying Henkel Persil I suppose they pronounce it right
That was my thought, too!
Although I pronounce it more like the British way.
Challenges, challenges. I speak English, which suggests I should use the English pronunciation, but the product is from a German company (admittedly by way of a US subsidiary), and so perhaps I should use the German pronunciation. | ||

I am quite taken with the PPP (Persil Power Pearls) also and I am using my remaining stash carefully now. I'd love to find more.
I do switch detergents with almost every load. I generally dislike the liquids but have a few on hand. Tide with Bleach and Gain powder have been the two I have fallen back on once the PPPs went away. Wishing I had bought a half dozen jugs at the end but I was a bit late to move :( | ||

There is another way... Pronounce it with a 'Z', so 'Persil' (as Jean Metcalfe pronounces it), becomes 'Perzil'. I've heard this quite a lot. | ||

Persil North America/USA Sales
Of the "American" stuff is not doing well at all; well at least P&G seems to have little to fear.
global.handelsblatt.com/companie... www.statista.com/statisti... www.statista.com/statistics/1887... Fact that Tide "Simply Fresh" shows in the rankings but Persil does not, isn't a very good sign IMHO. | ||
