I personally prefer Persil. I don't use fabric softeners and found that after drying the clothes after washing it with Persil it smelled clean as for Tide it didn't smell clean it, it smelled like the clothes sat in the washer for a day. I find it that when I wash it with cold water the smell lasts longer. Also, while drying you can smell it outside nearby the dryer vent. My mother was a Tide and Rinso and so I have used Tide for a long time.
I own a tree business so my clothes get exceptionally filthy. I’ve been a Tide fan for many years but switched to Persil because it does clean deeper and better. I don’t use any additives like I used to so I feel it saves money to make up for its higher prices. Tide is outstanding though and it does smell great.
"Scent" is a subjective matter. What matters is which cleans better. I spend some time in Europe while on vacation and the one thing I noticed is how bright-white bed sheets are there. So I use Persil and it smells great. Another really good product is Ariel detergent.
I prefer Persil. They seem to use more enzymes that break down stains & body soil. The scent is overwhelming but I don’t care about scent as long as it smells clean.
I love Persil laundry 🧺 detergent !!! The smell -freshness… It provides optimal washing performance while treating cloth fibers gently and keeping your clothes looking their utmost and this is a big difference between Persil and Tide or other laundry detergents
Meatwad MGTOW yea this test is stupid. And not perfectly blind. You need someone who has never done laundry to gauge which smells better and which they felt cleaned the clothes better. Obviously this girl is american and she knows tide and has preference for tide. I myself love tide, but i tried persil and it is far superior in every aspect imo
Lol Persil is sold and is top sales brand in Brazil since the 50s. Tide came by the 90s called “Ace” and guess what? Never made it here, P&G give up on Tide and launched Ariel in a “concentrated” and expensive formula that Persil beats with the regular and cheaper formula.
Smell of Tide CHOKED me while i was pregnant. Since that day i cannot stand its smell. Persil smells great. And i have been using that for last 3 years now. And no regrets! Tide gives me headache whenever i try to smell it.
So... We don't know which worked better just which one she didn't like the smell of. LAME. Honestly, I like the smell of persil. And who cares what it smells like as it's washing? When it's FINISHED, it makes your clothes smell great!
I couldn't help noticing that you used Persil Original. What you'll want to try in your next test is Persil Intense Fresh. It's got an absolutely incredible scent.
I wish I could make my whole house and existence smell like the Persil Original. It smells amazing to me. I am so glad I decided to try out Persil. I DO feel like my clothes are cleaner and fresher than with all the other detergents I used to use. I also finally started to measure my detergent and fill a little bit above line 1, maybe to line 2 if I feel like it's a lot of clothes or a bit dirtier stuff. I feel like I can use less with Persil and it still gets clean. I can't say if it works better than Tide though because I haven't ever really tried Tide enough to say so. I do know I want to buy Persil again when I need to though.
I love persil and clothes smells amazing even when I forget to add fabric softener 🤦🏾♀️😂 it takes out tough greasy stinky stains and odors from my husband's clothes (plumbing) 🤮. It's well worth every cent. And you don't need that much either and also u can use it to pre treat stains
I'm German and Persil is here the most selling detergent for over 100 years. i dont know how the US persil smells but i guess it smells diffrent then the Germen one, but i can say i orderd a bottle of Tide original online don't ask for the price it was insane here in germany. The tide smell is amazing but i washed my ikea ektorp slip cover witch was a little bit more dirty then normal and it dosent came out clean afer the wash. i was dispointet cause i always hear how good tide is. but when i wash with PERSIL everything came out 100% clean.
Exactly! I live in Finland and I'm pretty sure Omo PikkuJätti (omo little big) is the best off the best here in Finland, and the best powder is Bioluvil, it does to do the best results off my whites lundry. I didn't like The Tide at all
That's because U.S. detergents have became weaker than they used to be. They switched to enzyme based detergent because it's supposedly better for the environment. They used to be phosphate based and did an amazing job of cleaning. I started adding the phosphate back into my detergent using a brand of trisodium phosphate here in the U.S. called TSP. They used to sell Persil here in the U.S. under the brand name of Wisk back when detergents were phosphate based and while it did a respectable job, it was no match for the top 3 brands back then which were Tide, Cheer and Gain. I still use Gain powdered detergent and mix the TSP with it and it still cleans better than any simple enzyme based detergent.
I just got persil today I still have tide boy I wish I had this stuff sooner persil I love it :update on it I went back to tide I love the smell and love the cleaning of tide.
In my opinion I love the way persil smells & feels on the clothes! Please never stop making persil!!! I love it way tooo much!!! For us very very ultra clean ppl we love this item!!! 😊
I use Persil I love it I have never gone back it leaves my clothes feeling clean when I pull them out...... and I keep coupons on hand because I stock up on them.
persil > used tide for the longest time switched to persil on a sale once never returned. The smell is better imo its fresh and good smelling without being to overwhelming but it stays on the clothing. But the real gem is how well it cleans. It gets out tough stains and dirt and grass etc without issue on first wash. It has more surfacents and enzymes that eat grease oils dirt etc away than tide has so it makes sense its a deeper better clean. And i notice no color fade on my color clothing where as my forest green sweatpants with tide turned fairly dull green after 2 years of washes.
For the scent, it depends on the one you buy. The original does not smell very nice but the intense fresh one smells absolutely delicious. Go for the intense fresh or the odor fighting one but I still think the intense fresh is better because it’s a lot more crisp where is the original and the odor fighting have a sweeter finish which I really don’t like. There’s also one with Oxsee clean but I wouldn’t waste money on an Oxsee clean detergent because it doesn’t really work. And they also have one of the free and clear options for ultra sensitive skin which I would imagine doesn’t have much of a scent but those detergents also do not usually works out well because they’re very diluted and not going to be that strong.
Persil with a tiny bit of Pinesol (1/4 a cup or less, in a full load) the regular/original Pinesol has laundry instructions! It’s the BEST combination you’ve ever tried, guaranteed! I’ve switched literally everyone over to it who has seen my laundry coming out of the drier! I don’t use fabric softeners either, bc they coat the fabric. This combo makes my clothes look and feel brand new! Try it!
I use fabric softeners and I don't care if they coat the fabric. So there. All Persil is is Wisk, re-branded and Wisk never was as popular as Tide, Cheer or Gain. I use Gain powdered detergent with a spoonful of TSP (Trisodium phosphate) which all detergents used have have in them as it makes water wetter and provides more sudsing action and gets clothes cleaner than any modern equivalent using enzymes instead of phosphates.
@@amberslilrose3954 I've always heard that but I have yet to experience it in real life and I'm 52 years old. I think I'll make it by just fine with clean softer clothes for the rest of it.
@@Rebel9668 I can tell if people use fabric softener as soon as I touch one of their towels.. and especially if I use one of their towels to try and dry something. You can have soft clothes with a good wash routine. You shouldn't need artificial softeners.
I used to buy Tide but switch to Persil after my elderly parents move in with me. My elderly mom soil her clothes with urine and I tried both Tide and Persil Odor Fighter and Persil did a better job. None remove it completely and that's why I used regular Pinesol to soak her clothes overnight and wash it and rewash it with Persil and Lysol sanitizer sports and used sports odor fighter laundry drying sheet. All this and it completely removes the smell. The same with her bedding, cushions, and, or anything she wears or sits on. I tried arming hammer baking soda, white vinegar, odorklenz, OxiClean, but nothing worked except what I typed above.
I would always use a Prewash and then use Powdered Tide, and maybe Clorox Laundry Sanitizer. I would also buy most of her stuff in white and add bleach to it. Also for anything nonwashable I would either use Clorox Fabric Sanitizer Spray or Tide Fabric Sanitizer (:
Persil has been in Africa (Kenya) for like forever😅😅. It does a perfect job in cleaning. I prefer the purple one because it smells great. We however don't have Tide Powder or liquid. We do however have the pods. Would love to try it someday.
@scooter Dave I've been using Gain powdered detergent for over 40 years. My current washing machine is a Whirlpool top loader I've had for 20 years and it still works fine. Only maintenance I've done in that time is putting in a new set of agitator dogs about 5 years ago. If it's destroying my washing machine it's taking it's sweet time doing it, LMAO! Also, Purex is well known as being a weak detergent, even by CR. It's not saving money when you have to use more detergent to get the same job done, LOL!
I love Person liquid detergent and I use Tide Detergent occasionally and other Proctor & Gamble products such as Downy Fabric Softener and Different Dust Wipes and Dawn Dish Detergent and some other of their products!
Persil was originally a premium brand sold with some high-end washing machines until it was introduced as an exclusive brand at Walmart. For about a year, Persil was sold exclusively at Walmart, but it was gradually introduced at other stores nationwide. Ironically, when Persil was rolled out, Henkel (which bought the company that bought Wisk from Lever Brothers) discontinued Wisk just after its 60th anniversary in 2016
Persil is the name that Wisk was always sold by in Europe (but with a different fragrance.) They discontinued Wisk (which actually smelled good, IMO) because it sold for mid-price in the US, so that Persil (just Wisk with an unpleasant odor) which had been introduced at the higher price point could just canibalize the Wisk sales (or so they hoped.)
I lived in Germany prior to 2016 and Persil has always been Persil. Wisk used to be the only liquid detergent available in America as everything else was powder. Germans also had a liquid, but it was not called Wisk; I used that myself. Persil was known to be superior to that product. I do not know if the Germans have bought onto the liquid craze as Americans have, and perhaps with their own style of marketing techniques, they also chose the name Wisk to sell their liquid, because, as I'm familiar with their thought process, how can the powder and the liquid be considered the same? And Wisk was chosen for a name because it reflected that proven successful liquid form already in America. And when Wisk was bought out, marketing complications, etc. Besides, Persil was superior to (American) Wisk in any case, so Wisk in America was retired.
@@stevenscott7427since you mentioned being in Germany, are you familiar with Perwoll? I understand the parent company Henkel owns it and Persil. I bought a bunch of the perwoll for black fabrics via amazon since nearly all my shirts and sweaters are black. I was considering getting the other varieties for other laundry items. But upon stumbling onto persil it made me reconsider it as a more cost effective option for my non black clothing. Do you figure it’s the same stuff as the formulations of Perwoll? Just sold to an American audience?
@@Bonanzaking Sorry for late reply. I am unfamiliar with Perwoll. I used a liquid to wash some clothes in the sink. It probably was like Woolite. It was another interesting German product that worked, is all I remember, smelled good, but strong. USA had Wisk, an alternative to laundry powders. This is the 20th Century I'm referring to yet here. Before virtually everything turned to liquid. Back then, there was nothing like Wisk in Germany, and Wisk was not that popular in the States. It should be said, that Germans are masters at getting clothes clean in a superior fashion. Americans, not so much. Germans washed only with front loading machines, which do a superior job of cleaning, which was always pointed out. American top-loaders, relatively cheap machines just push the clothes around on short cycles. The German machines...well, look up Bosch. These machines are expensive. Germans swear by these machines. And the laundry products; I waited until Persil showed up beyond Walmart to realize, yes, the Germans were right. I would say that any German laundry product is worth a try. Germans think different than Americans. They are more interested in making good products. You have to decide for yourself if it is worth it to you. Maybe it is different now, more American influence. But Persil is still Persil! Even in liquid form; beating the Americans at their own game.
What a load of typical yank advertising. I'm in the UK and always bring Persil me when I visit. I used Tide for 3-days trying to shift dirt out of some white t-shirts, it didn't shift it and the colour started to grey. Used my god old Persil and it was gone. Hence why we use Persil.
I remember seeing TV ads in the late 50s and early 60s in Germany. It was powder at that time, as were most detergents. It was the most used and popular brand in Germany. At that time, there were only a couple of other choices.
I'm in a war against plastic, so if it's not powder in a box, I don't use it. Having said that, I buy tide over gain, because of the smell. Gain is too strong.
Tide Heavy Duty 10x is by far the Best Stain an Odor Remover!" Only detergent I use because it's the Only Detergent that takes oil stains an smells Out of My Work clothes"💪
Tide Heavy Duty 10x is Much Better at removing Stains from my oily an stinky work clothes. ( I Tried Both) An Tide Heavy Duty 10x leaves NO Trace of a Stain are Smell. Plus it Smells Great.'
@@jacobsebastien3910 I agree with you, I own my own Trucking company and I do work on my trucks. I can tell after changing brakes, tires, doing oil changes, change out fluids Tide heavy duty leaves NO stains!! Plus it smells good.
No, Persil is a German brand, has been around much longer than Tide since about 1905, while Tide has been around since 1947 approx. Persil is a top detergent in most European countries, and has been for decades. It scores better than Tide on all independent studies.
Because she chose to use the Tide more often, the test was a not as accurate as it could have been had she used each equally. I also wonder if her preference for the scent that turned out to be Tide was biased by previous experience.
Michael T You assume that person is American, did you ever think to consider he or she might be from Germany (home of Persil) or live somewhere else that doesn’t sell Tide. I never saw Tide in any shop in Paris.
@@bananaborz1 Perhaps Americans would recognize Persil if they went back to it's former Americn name...Whisk. Guess they changed the name to it's German name to try and rebrand it since Whisk never was a top seller in the U.S. It's funny how all these commentors think it's a new product simply because they changed it's name. Sort of like dishwashing detergent. Cascade was always the number 1 brand in the U.S. with Electrasol being a distant 2nd. Electrasol changed it's name to Finish Jet Dry and now more folks are buying it even though it's the same stuff, lol.
The smell would give it away so its not a blind test nor is this scientific at all. With real swatch testing persil wins hands down. Also persil cares for your fabrics unlike tide
Women in the USA buy thing by color, by smell, by how pretty it is... In other words form over function. I would not take that dingy house wife’s advice on how well it cleans.
Stopped using Tide for years. WILL ONLY USE PERSIL, and it’s been that way for several years. Most of my family uses it. Get compliments on how great my clothes smell. Persil all day!!! Get yours at Walmart or Amazon.
First be careful with Persil. They have a shinny plastic cap. However if the bottle get turned on its side it will leak. I lost half a bottle. When I went to check the cap, to tighten it. I turned it about a half inch and the threads popped. If you buy Persil change the container, especially if its going to use it in your car.
That’s a complete lie , gain and tide are on the same level maybe tide cleans A LITTLE BETTER but to say Gain is the same as Sun is pretty unconscionable don’t you think ??
@@wwenewyork7570 I've used Gain for 40 years and it works fine and smells better than either Tide or Persil. I use the powdered kind, but I cheat and add a spoonful of TSP (Trisodium phosphate) which ALL good laundry detergents used to have in them before they switched to enzyme based detergents. TSP makes water wetter in that it breaks down oils and greases (makes them more soluble) better than enzyme based detergents. It also results in more suds in the wash water which may not be good for front loading machines, but is perfectly fine in top loaders with agitators.
Don't use pod Persil in cold water. I phoned to complain and was sent a coupon to purchase liquid. My pods dissolved only partial of the pod. Detergent cleaned clothes but one pair of pants had slime all over the front. To use up remaining pods I will have to use warm/hot water.
@Isaac Joby John once I use up most of my detergents, I'll check out Persil and If I like it, I will start using it. Although I do not like the Tide liquid, I use the pods due to the strong scent of the liquid.
I left Tide for Persil 2 years ago. No regrets. The intense fresh Persil has my laundry room smelling really good.
Haven't tried the Original scent yet.
Persil rules!
Both scents are good.
@@human47134 Which one is stronger?
Totally agree.
I personally prefer Persil. I don't use fabric softeners and found that after drying the clothes after washing it with Persil it smelled clean as for Tide it didn't smell clean it, it smelled like the clothes sat in the washer for a day. I find it that when I wash it with cold water the smell lasts longer. Also, while drying you can smell it outside nearby the dryer vent. My mother was a Tide and Rinso and so I have used Tide for a long time.
I completely agree with you!!! I have had the same experience with tide detergent & no longer use it. Now I only use persil detergent
I do use fabric softener to complete the scent of Persil, particularly Snuggle blue sparkle.
I prefer Persil too, but I use Snuggle to accompany it.
I own a tree business so my clothes get exceptionally filthy. I’ve been a Tide fan for many years but switched to Persil because it does clean deeper and better. I don’t use any additives like I used to so I feel it saves money to make up for its higher prices. Tide is outstanding though and it does smell great.
Yum, a sweaty real man🙂😎
They both have AMAZING scents. And they both work just as well, but Persil is much much far cheaper than tide at most stores depending on the sizes
I use both. But I do think Persil cleans better.
"Scent" is a subjective matter. What matters is which cleans better. I spend some time in Europe while on vacation and the one thing I noticed is how bright-white bed sheets are there. So I use Persil and it smells great. Another really good product is Ariel detergent.
Update: Persil now has a fresh scent version and maybe a few other combinations! Persil still owns my numba 1 choice!
Just tried Persil and I love it. My wash looked noticeably cleaner.
Persil beats Tide hands down! I don't care about the scent, as long as it's ok.
Big Big time!!! German engineering man
I use the advanced clean oxi+odor power and it's better than Tide hands down!
Persil hands downs. Not only does it smell good, but it cleans the clothes and it doesn't fade color loads.
Persil with OXI is the best laundry detergent I have ever used. And it smells so good too.
Thanks! I've been considering buying Persil, but wasn't sure which version to buy. The OXI version is the one that I was really curious about.
I think Persil Advanced Clean oxi+odor is better than Tide heavy duty.
I prefer Persil. They seem to use more enzymes that break down stains & body soil. The scent is overwhelming but I don’t care about scent as long as it smells clean.
I’ve been using Percil for like 5-6 years and it seems to get better every year lol

I love Persil. I especially love it for the front-loading washing machine.
How much do you use on a full load
I love persil!! But Tide is my other favorite.
Tide Heavy Duty is the Best Laundry Detergent. 💪😏
I wish I could make my whole house and existence smell like the Persil Original. It smells amazing to me. I am so glad I decided to try out Persil. I DO feel like my clothes are cleaner and fresher than with all the other detergents I used to use. I also finally started to measure my detergent and fill a little bit above line 1, maybe to line 2 if I feel like it's a lot of clothes or a bit dirtier stuff. I feel like I can use less with Persil and it still gets clean.
I can't say if it works better than Tide though because I haven't ever really tried Tide enough to say so. I do know I want to buy Persil again when I need to though.
Without even watching this- I love Persil. It smells way better than Tide. The end.
The Persil smell to me is just, wow!! I seriously want everything to smell like that. My clothes, my car, my house. Everything.
so one person's opinion is now scientific research?
Persil is the best by far. Jenifer probably uses to much.. the only detergent that you actually can use the recommended amount and get results.
Oxi clean hi def is also really good
I switched to Persil after using Tide since a kid. I made my whole family switch.

Persil is the name that Wisk was always sold by in Europe (but with a different fragrance.) They discontinued Wisk (which actually smelled good, IMO) because it sold for mid-price in the US, so that Persil (just Wisk with an unpleasant odor) which had been introduced at the higher price point could just canibalize the Wisk sales (or so they hoped.)
I lived in Germany prior to 2016 and Persil has always been Persil. Wisk used to be the only liquid detergent available in America as everything else was powder. Germans also had a liquid, but it was not called Wisk; I used that myself. Persil was known to be superior to that product. I do not know if the Germans have bought onto the liquid craze as Americans have, and perhaps with their own style of marketing techniques, they also chose the name Wisk to sell their liquid, because, as I'm familiar with their thought process, how can the powder and the liquid be considered the same? And Wisk was chosen for a name because it reflected that proven successful liquid form already in America. And when Wisk was bought out, marketing complications, etc. Besides, Persil was superior to (American) Wisk in any case, so Wisk in America was retired.
@@stevenscott7427since you mentioned being in Germany, are you familiar with Perwoll? I understand the parent company Henkel owns it and Persil. I bought a bunch of the perwoll for black fabrics via amazon since nearly all my shirts and sweaters are black. I was considering getting the other varieties for other laundry items. But upon stumbling onto persil it made me reconsider it as a more cost effective option for my non black clothing. Do you figure it’s the same stuff as the formulations of Perwoll? Just sold to an American audience?
@@Bonanzaking Sorry for late reply. I am unfamiliar with Perwoll. I used a liquid to wash some clothes in the sink. It probably was like Woolite. It was another interesting German product that worked, is all I remember, smelled good, but strong. USA had Wisk, an alternative to laundry powders. This is the 20th Century I'm referring to yet here. Before virtually everything turned to liquid. Back then, there was nothing like Wisk in Germany, and Wisk was not that popular in the States. It should be said, that Germans are masters at getting clothes clean in a superior fashion. Americans, not so much. Germans washed only with front loading machines, which do a superior job of cleaning, which was always pointed out. American top-loaders, relatively cheap machines just push the clothes around on short cycles. The German machines...well, look up Bosch. These machines are expensive. Germans swear by these machines. And the laundry products; I waited until Persil showed up beyond Walmart to realize, yes, the Germans were right. I would say that any German laundry product is worth a try. Germans think different than Americans. They are more interested in making good products. You have to decide for yourself if it is worth it to you. Maybe it is different now, more American influence. But Persil is still Persil! Even in liquid form; beating the Americans at their own game.
What a load of typical yank advertising. I'm in the UK and always bring Persil me when I visit. I used Tide for 3-days trying to shift dirt out of some white t-shirts, it didn't shift it and the colour started to grey.
Used my god old Persil and it was gone. Hence why we use Persil.
I remember seeing TV ads in the late 50s and early 60s in Germany. It was powder at that time, as were most detergents. It was the most used and popular brand in Germany. At that time, there were only a couple of other choices.
Had Persil here for years along with front loaders top loaders are seen as very old fashioned in a lot of countries. Also we don’t emphasise the sil .
I love Persil too.
I looove persil, period.
I'm in a war against plastic, so if it's not powder in a box, I don't use it. Having said that, I buy tide over gain, because of the smell. Gain is too strong.
I love Persil and use it here in the UK 🇬🇧👍
Persil works for me. I have been adding Baking Soda in my was for years nor with great results. If u already have a water softener - No Need to
Tide Heavy Duty 10x is by far the Best Stain an Odor Remover!" Only detergent I use because it's the Only Detergent that takes oil stains an smells Out of My Work clothes"💪
Tide Ultra Oxy for me .
The heavy duty formula rocks! But I love them both
Persil requires less to clean better
Dawn! Anyone? Oh...sorry, it just dawned on me.
Good one 😂😂😂
I've never heard of it until yesterday. (2-14-2020)
Born in the U.S.A family from UK - Persil, and Dettol only.
Persil Proclean Deep clean is truly #1. Honesty, I will NOT use anything else.
ALL detergent is made by same people as Persil. Does just fine and way cheaper than Tide or Persil
True. I've seen few tests where all was better. Plus all has pods now.
Persil will get out any smell and just about any stain. It’s by far the best. I wish places like Costco would sell it so I could buy in bulk.
Nikkole Sam’s Club sells it!
Costco in Canada sells it. But best bet is walmart
Tide Heavy Duty 10x is Much Better at removing Stains from my oily an stinky work clothes. ( I Tried Both) An Tide Heavy Duty 10x leaves NO Trace of a Stain are Smell. Plus it Smells Great.'
I'll always stick with Persil. No harsh ingredients for aromas that North Americans are so accustomed to...
@@jacobsebastien3910 I agree with you, I own my own Trucking company and I do work on my trucks. I can tell after changing brakes, tires, doing oil changes, change out fluids Tide heavy duty leaves NO stains!! Plus it smells good.
Persil is far superior. We used to use Tide but we have switched now
I love how Persil smells and prefer it over Tide. They must be getting a payoff from Tide because Persil is superior.
I love persil
I heard that Persil was a replacement of Wisk. I love Persil
No, Persil is a German brand, has been around much longer than Tide since about 1905, while Tide has been around since 1947 approx. Persil is a top detergent in most European countries, and has been for decades. It scores better than Tide on all independent studies.
Because she chose to use the Tide more often, the test was a not as accurate as it could have been had she used each equally. I also wonder if her preference for the scent that turned out to be Tide was biased by previous experience.
Persil is great. Never heard of tide.
Tide has been on American shelves since the early 50s. You are just being spiteful
Michael T You assume that person is American, did you ever think to consider he or she might be from Germany (home of Persil) or live somewhere else that doesn’t sell Tide. I never saw Tide in any shop in Paris.
@@bananaborz1 Perhaps Americans would recognize Persil if they went back to it's former Americn name...Whisk. Guess they changed the name to it's German name to try and rebrand it since Whisk never was a top seller in the U.S. It's funny how all these commentors think it's a new product simply because they changed it's name. Sort of like dishwashing detergent. Cascade was always the number 1 brand in the U.S. with Electrasol being a distant 2nd. Electrasol changed it's name to Finish Jet Dry and now more folks are buying it even though it's the same stuff, lol.
The smell would give it away so its not a blind test nor is this scientific at all. With real swatch testing persil wins hands down. Also persil cares for your fabrics unlike tide
Persil cleans a little better.
Persil is best
I love how Persia cleans.
I recommend tide for "Slime" and Persil for laundry 😁 but i mostly like tide, ( Pls dont hate me for my opinion )
Slime ?
Women in the USA buy thing by color, by smell, by how pretty it is... In other words form over function. I would not take that dingy house wife’s advice on how well it cleans.
Stopped using Tide for years. WILL ONLY USE PERSIL, and it’s been that way for several years. Most of my family uses it. Get compliments on how great my clothes smell. Persil all day!!! Get yours at Walmart or Amazon.
Which one?
@@giovannyplasencia who?
@@JimRockfordFiles you which persil detergent you use ?
The original or intense fresh ?
LOVED the Percil unscented, but it seems to have disappeared from Walmart and Amazon, unless you want to pay double what it used to cost. :(
That 😤 They do it all the time! Buy things up at the low price and mark it up so much. I refuse to buy it . They can keep it!
WOW from Super Bowl adds to local news marketing 😂
First be careful with Persil. They have a shinny plastic cap. However if the bottle get turned on its side it will leak. I lost half a bottle. When I went to check the cap, to tighten it. I turned it about a half inch and the threads popped. If you buy Persil change the container, especially if its going to use it in your car.
Gillette advertising got me to switch.
How much is tide paying for this review
Lots
Right I know
Persil rules!!
Its sold in Germany for over 100 years. Get the powder , works great and smells fresh.
It’s all about PERSIL AND GAIN 👌🏽👌🏽
Gain didn't even get in the same ballpark as Tide And Percil according to Consumer Reports. It's almost as worthless as Sun.
That’s a complete lie , gain and tide are on the same level maybe tide cleans A LITTLE BETTER but to say Gain is the same as Sun is pretty unconscionable don’t you think ??
@@wwenewyork7570 I've used Gain for 40 years and it works fine and smells better than either Tide or Persil. I use the powdered kind, but I cheat and add a spoonful of TSP (Trisodium phosphate) which ALL good laundry detergents used to have in them before they switched to enzyme based detergents. TSP makes water wetter in that it breaks down oils and greases (makes them more soluble) better than enzyme based detergents. It also results in more suds in the wash water which may not be good for front loading machines, but is perfectly fine in top loaders with agitators.
@@Rebel9668 thanks for the insight 🥂
💯 All Day my two favorites
Persil. No doubt about it
I stick with my Tide Pods....Thank you very much
Don't use pod Persil in cold water. I phoned to complain and was sent a coupon to purchase liquid. My pods dissolved only partial of the pod. Detergent cleaned clothes but one pair of pants had slime all over the front. To use up remaining pods I will have to use warm/hot water.
Thanks for the info.
Tide's 100oz. bottle is now 92oz. Even more reason to buy Persil
The woman on the right is incredible.
I just switched to persil, it’s better than tide
If you want to save your washer your best bet is Persil, but not this version.
I prefer Tide. Definitely buy Tide Pods. Even using one pod in a large load , the clothes are stainless, and my machine is even high efficiency.
Yeah plus its American
@Isaac Joby John once I use up most of my detergents, I'll check out Persil and If I like it, I will start using it. Although I do not like the Tide liquid, I use the pods due to the strong scent of the liquid.
