Recently, a friend and I were discussing laundry and she was telling me how much she hates doing laundry. I surprise so many people when I say that I actually enjoy doing laundry. So much so that they ask me to come over and do theirs too! I told my friend that the reason I love
doing laundry is because it actually gives me a sense of accomplishment...something I can do and see results immediately. Hubby gets home from work and I can tell him that I did ALL the laundry and typically, it takes most of the day. I love the look of freshly laundered and folded clothes, and love putting things away into each family member's dressers. I'm weird, I know. :) But, it is something that needs done multiple times a week so I might as well enjoy it.
When it comes to my laundry detergent, I am pretty brand loyal. I stick to brands that are effective, good value and low prices. It is hard to find that combination and also find something that works but I do pretty well and have stuck with similar brands for a long time. Earlier this month, I learned about a new laundry detergent that is launching onto the laundry scene!
Persil ProClean is a detergent that originated in Europe but is now going to be available in the US. I had never heard of this brand before but was excited to give it a try!
So, for this review I was sent a bottle of Persil ProClean Power-Liquid 2 in 1. Being that I was unfamiliar with the brand, I was excited to see how this detergent worked on my laundry compared to my regular brand.
I have four children and their laundry is done several times a week. Between potty training accidents, spills from sippy cups and a baby who is learning to self-feed, my laundry is always stained and smelly. It's just a part of life around here so it is so important to have effective detergent on hand for these types of messes.
Persil ProClean Power-Liquid 2 in 1 is touted to have very powerful stain removing qualities and today's laundry load was no exception when it came to stains and dirt.
I was able to use this detergent with 3 loads of laundry today-whites, colors and towels. What I found out was that it didn't remove old/set in stains. Bummer. I had a bunch of white baby onesies (pre-soaked in bleach) with stains around the neckline and those stains were still very visible once the clothing was washed and dried. I did find that it did a pretty good job of removing fresh stains on clothing. Anything that had happened this week on the clothing was removed completely after laundering with Persil. I loved the scent of this detergent as well, it smells very clean and fresh.
My overall opinion of this detergent is that it works well for fresh stains and does a good job cleaning my weekly laundry. As a
stain remover though, it isn't the best for stains that have set in and are older. I am definitely going to keep using it though as it does work for every day laundry! Persil ProClean Power-Liquid 2in1 is available in Walmart and is rolling out to other retailers nationwide starting now! Prices are very affordable too... 40oz/20 loads/$5.24 ● 100oz/50 loads/ $11.97 ● 150oz/75 loads/ $17.97
