Detergent

Let’s start with the basics – what is a detergent? Laundry detergent is a cleaning agent, either in the form of a liquid, powder, capsule or tablet, that is added to your washing machine to clean your clothes, remove stains and leave them smelling fresh.

What is the difference between bio and non-bio detergent, and which is right for you? Biological detergents contain stain-busting enzymes, effective in breaking down the protein, starches and fats often found in stains. These enzymes even work at low temperatures. Non-biological detergents don’t contain these enzymes to be a little kinder to skin.

The best laundry detergent for you could depend on which form you choose. Capsules and tablets go straight into the drum and there’s no need for measuring dosage, making them easy and convenient. Liquid and powder forms have a more flexible dosage for smaller or larger loads, and liquid can be convenient for pre-treating stains.

Persil detergents provide a great solution for tackling the toughest stains, and our concentrated liquids are just as effective at lower temperatures. Plus, our liquid detergents are sod with our handy Stain Eraser Ball which allows you to measure the right dose and doubles as a stain removal tool.
