Washing powders have been around a long time for good reason – they offer great cleaning results but are affordable too. Choosing the best washing powder for your needs will involve learning the difference between bio and non-bio washing powder and thinking about the type of laundry you normally do. Discover what Persil washing powder can do for your laundry.

How much Persil washing powder to use on your laundry depends on the size of the load, how soiled the clothes are, and whether you have hard or soft water. A standard dose of Persil powder detergent is 110ml but always check the packaging and adjust it for your needs.

Washing powders can be put in the detergent powder drawer or straight into the drum inside a mesh bag – the latter is useful on shorter cycles as it has more time to dissolve. Whatever you choose, measure your dose of detergent powder with the scoop so you don’t use too much or too little.

Not sure which detergent powder to choose? Persil Bio and Non-Bio Washing Powder both have added wash booster, making them tough on stains. But the main difference between bio and non-bio washing powder is that non-bio washing powder doesn’t contain enzymes, so it’s kind to skin. The enzymes in our bio washing powder mean it is still effective at lower temperatures.
