"Persil" copes with a variety of stains, whitens, and preserves color. However, the high cost, pungent odor, and unsafe components make the liquid a far from ideal powder.
Review of Persil powder: how to distinguish a fake from a natural product:
Manufacturer
The Persil brand belongs to the German company Henkel.
The history of washing powder began back in 1907, when German chemists managed to combine 2 components: silicate and sodium perborate. When water is heated, the substance releases oxygen bubbles into the water, which help bleach the fabric. This allowed housewives to stop rubbing things and using chlorine.
Two basic components formed the basis for the name of the powder: perborate - PER and silicate - SIL. Since then, the formula has been improved many times, 2 more release forms and new scents have appeared. In Russia, the production of Persil using German technology began in 2000.
