But not all powdered and liquid household chemicals meet these requirements. One of the popular detergents is Persil gel, which smells good, is hypoallergenic, and removes the most difficult stains.
A review of Persil washing gels will help you evaluate their quality and choose the best one.
The history of the appearance of the remedy
Before we analyze the advantages and disadvantages of Persil gels, let's look into the past and see what brand it is, what company produces this product, and why it is called that. This tool got its name from the chemicals that make up its composition.
Back in 1907, Henkel made a splash in the field of household chemicals. She invented a detergent that allowed you to quickly and effectively remove stains and whiten things without washing using a board.
Oxygen bubbles, released when the laundry is boiled, delicately bleached it. For the first time bleaching took place without chlorine, the linen smelled pleasant.In 1959, a fragrance and anionic surfactants were added to the product to improve the quality of washing.
1969 was a time of widespread use of washing machines, an increase in the production of devices. The company producing Persil had to keep up with the times. Therefore, foam inhibitors have been introduced into washing powder.
In the 70s, manufacturers came up with a new formula that could penetrate into the fibers of the fabric and rid the material of stubborn stains.
The powder continued to be used in washing machines. At the same time, special additives began to be introduced into the machine wash agent, which protected the device from corrosion.
Every year washing powders became better. The company used new achievements in science and chemical production during their release. The concentration of active substances became stronger, fragrances were no longer added to the powder.
Less powder was now required to wash clothes, which saved buyers money and gained popularity among the general population.
The Henkel company began to produce household chemicals designed for different types of fabrics. Prior to this, none of the manufacturers divided funds depending on the purpose of the materials.
In addition, they introduced a fabric fading inhibitor that made colored fabrics brighter and prevented them from shedding, dyeing other fabrics in their color. In 1994, the powder was replaced with granules, which made it possible to save money - instead of 290 ml, 90 ml was enough for washing.
Manufacturers have released a series of powders for baby clothes. It is hypoallergenic, does not cause dermatological rashes in those prone to the manifestation of the disease.
In 2000, Persil powder began to be produced in Russia. Millions of buyers became his admirers and used only him.
Now the linen was bleached already at 40 degrees. Clothes were worn longer, delighting their owners. After a while, manufacturers again amaze with their enterprise: an improved formula appears that removes any stains.
The detergent comes in powder and granules. Persil is available for white and colored linen, as well as a universal remedy.
Powders are for hand washing and for automatic washing machines.
