Which laundry detergent do you reach for? I had my go-to forever because the fact is, we spend way too much time in the laundry room not to do everything in our power to make it a worthwhile task. But guess what, people? When it comes to making your laundry life easy, there’s a new partner in crime on the shelves and its name is Persil ProClean Power Liquid 2-in-1.
Man, (I mean, WOMAN, because let’s face it, there’s no chance he’s taking over laundry duty more often than maybe once a year on your birthday if you’re really lucky) do we ever LOVE THIS STUFF. And we’ve got reasons.
Those reasons have nothing to do with the fact that the Persil products showed up on our doorstep with a bottle and a couple of glasses ON A FRIDAY so we could enjoy spending our weekend testing the product. Stroke of genius, huh?
Full Disclosure: We promise we did not mix business and bubbly, at least not while product testing, anyway.
WHY WE LOVE PERSIL PROCLEAN POWER LIQUID 2-IN-1
1. We tested this product because it has made a splash. It outperformed the leading brand in the Consumer Reports’ laundry detergent Ratings. Let’s just take a moment to repeat that fact: Consumer Reports has named Persil ProClean 2-in-1 liquid their #1 top rated detergent. Wow.
2. In Canada, you can buy it at Walmart, Loblaws, Valu-Mart, Costco—and the list goes on. So yeah, basically anywhere. Convenient, check.
3. This has been a European favourite for over a century and we love Europe.
4. It smells like bubble bath. Seriously, the scent is delicious. Meaning it doesn’t make you feel sick because it smells like bleach or like sickly sweet flowers or fake mountains. That’s a big plus when you’re breathing it in all day while you fold.
5. This is mighty tough stuff that’s got Pro-Lift Technology, a power-boosted formula to help fight tough stains that’s also great for everyday laundry. In English, that means it tackles stains like nobody’s business. Just go ahead and try to fool it and you’ll be left scratching your head wondering who the fool is. So far, we haven’t seen a stain Persil can’t beat, including grass, ring-around-the-collar, chocolate, tea and blood stains.
6. Although it’s definitely a selling feature, Persil is not all about stain removal. The liquid is made for cold water, stain fighting, whitening, brightening—All.In.One. We really do love us some all in one anything. It means we don’t have to go shopping around for products to help get the job done.
7. There are laundering tips on the Persil website and they’re amazing. Check these out. You can get instant help for every stain from red wine to sunscreen to that line you drew on your blouse with a Sharpie after you applied your sunscreen and drank red wine.
8. The Persil ProClean lineup also includes a coldwater formula (developed just for us energy-conscious Canadians!) and a new Power-Pearls formula designed to keep whites white and colours bright. OK, we’re in.
PRO TIP: If stains are brutal, you may want to pre-treat by rubbing a bit on before laundering.
Next time you’re at the grocery store, do yourself a favour and put Persil ProClean Power Liquid 2-in-1 to the laundry test.
