Persil Small & Mighty Liquid Low-Suds Sensitive for Front-Loaders 475ml RRP$6.99 14 loads per bottle = 50c per load www.persil.co.nz
Part of Persil’s new effort to downsize their product sizes without compromising on effectiveness, this little bottle is the equivalent of a 1.4L as the bottle says it’s “3x concentrated”. Use only one capful per wash — and it’s a small one — for the same results as the bigger amounts. The bottle is recyclable (and won’t take up much room in your recycling bin as it’s so small). A dual-enzyme formulation and pre-treaters mean you don’t have to slave over stain remover before you pop your soiled washing into the machine. There are 10 products in the range — five powders and five liquid detergents — giving you lots of choice. The good bits: We admit it — we were skeptical, because it is a REALLY small bottle (especially compared to the old stuff). But the customer service rep we spoke to on Persil’s 0800 line promised us 14 loads, and that’s precisely what we got. It handled dirt, tomato sauce, chocolate, and urine well, and also did a good job on a bloodstain (better than any of the other products we tested). The permanent ink faded slightly as well, and faded even more on a subsequent wash. The Persil website has great stain-removal advice, which we admit we didn’t follow as we wanted to see how the product performed on its own — and we were impressed. Good in warm and cold water. The tricky bits: Using the cap as a measuring device was a little bit messy, as we did get some drips down the outside of the bottle once we’d replaced it after use. Bottom line: Good value for money, and worked like it said it should.
