However, according to consumer reviews, after cleansing with this concentrate, a strong odor may remain on the laundry, which can last for a long time.

In addition, housewives note the need for additional rinsing of clothes: in order to remove the smell, they have to rinse the laundry several times or add less detergent, which significantly affects the quality of the wash.

Persil Power gel Lavender

The universal concentrate Persil Power gel is recommended for use on almost all types of materials, except wool and silk products. The product is used both for washing in an automatic machine and for cleaning by hand.

Washing gel with lavender contains phosphonates - less than 5%, a soap component, oxygen bleach, fragrance, and a small number of surfactants - less than 15%.

Persil Lavender is perfect for cleaning white linen and bedding.

Gel concentrate Persil Power gel ideally washes down jackets and delicate types of materials. Without requiring repeated rinsing, the substance is easily washed out from the fibers, does not leave pellets on things, while maintaining the original appearance of the product and imparting the aroma of lavender to freshly washed clothes.

However, like other varieties of Persil, this gel concentrate has a fairly persistent odor.

Mode of application

In order for washing to give the desired result, the gel must be used correctly. To better remove old stains, you should not pour a lot of liquid powder: this can lead to incomplete rinsing of the substance and a strong odor.

Persil gel concentrates are available in practical bottles of various sizes and are equipped with a comfortable handle. The dispenser lid allows you to measure the required amount of gel, depending on the weight of the clothing.

Through the neck of the bottle, it is easy to add the gel to the cap without fear that its remains will leak out. The product has a thick consistency and can be blue, turquoise or lilac.

On the back of the bottle there is quite a lot of information about how to use the substance. According to the manufacturer, the gel can replace 3 kg of standard powder.

The liquid is poured into a special cap and placed in the washing machine compartment. In addition, the substance can be added to the drum. To remove stubborn stains, the product can be applied directly to the stain using rubber gloves.

When washing things by hand, you don’t have to worry about skin irritation: even if the skin is hypersensitive, the gel does not cause discomfort or flaking.

The well-known brand Persil is a leader among household chemicals. Despite the high cost, Henkel washing powders are in high demand among buyers. As it turned out, the main advantages of liquid “Persil” is the quality of washing: the gel copes with stubborn stains and stubborn dirt without leaving greasy marks. However, before purchasing it, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the composition and also study consumer reviews.

Until recently, housewives had no choice. Everything was washed with soap or ordinary powder, which did not always cope with its duties.

Today, the market offers a large number of products of different consistencies, prices, and features. One of them is liquid laundry gel. It is easy to dose, optimizes consumption, does not leave dust, and quickly dissolves in water.

It is also important that they are more effective in cold water than powders, which will definitely come in handy when saving money.

The packaging is convenient and compact due to its high concentration - a bottle of gel will take much less than a large bag of powder.

The use of the gel does not require pre-soaking the laundry.

The product can be applied directly to the stain, and then placed in the machine and washed.

Manufacturers promise that the products will help restore color saturation and extend the life of things. It is best to use them for hand washing, adding them not to a special compartment, but directly to the drum.

Gels are available in capsules or bottles.

They do not cause allergies, are easily washed out of the fabric, and do not leave streaks.

They are more gentle than regular powder, so you shouldn’t expect that gels will cope with severe stains.

Many people love compact gel tablets, which are convenient to use without getting their hands dirty. They can also cope with difficult stains. They also contain substances that protect the washing machine from scale.

The disadvantages include the rather high cost compared to powders.

All manufacturers have their own secret formula, but the main ingredient is surfactants, natural or synthetic, but softer than powders.

Also contains useful substances: enzymes, bleaches, and water softening components.

Dietary additives help remove protein and fat stains from vegetables, fruits, milk, and grass. The products maintain the quality of the laundry even after repeated washing.

VIDEO ON THE TOPIC

The most popular gels for washing colored and white laundry are:

1. Persil Universal Gel - penetrates deeply into the fabric structure, easily dissolves in water, copes well with various stains, and does not leave streaks. The composition includes a cellulose enzyme, which removes small fabric hairs, as a result, clothes acquire an even, smooth surface, and the color of the linen, including black, is also preserved.
2. Domol Color from Rossman is also effective in combating stains. However, it also has a drawback - it changes the shade of pastel colors, so it is not recommended to use it with blue and pink things.
3. Japanese washing gels presented in a large assortment. Thus, BEADS Gel makes linen soft, preserves the color of the fabric, easily removes dirt, prevents yellowing and darkening, and is quickly and easily washed off.
4. The Japanese offer a liquid detergent for washing cotton fabrics. LION TOP enzyme power. Ideal for front-loading washing machines, it gives clothes a pleasant smell.

Gel capsules dissolve faster and easier in cold water and do not require dosage, as they are enclosed in a special shell.

They are valued for their ease of use and excellent results in washing things.

The Ariel company presents two types of gel in green capsules - for washing light-colored laundry, and in purple capsules - for colored items, as well as for restoring the color of fabric.

Persil Duo-Caps consist of two chambers that are filled with stain remover and concentrated detergent respectively.

True, one cannot help but mention the shortcomings. For example, these include the impossibility of dividing the capsule, since the drum is not always loaded completely during washing, as a result, the consumption of funds is not economical.

It is worth noting that such gels cannot cope with all stains, especially old ones.

But we can’t help but note the ease of use. The capsule is placed at the bottom of the drum, and the laundry is placed on top. When the capsule comes into contact with water, it dissolves and the gel ends up on dirty laundry.

Quite popular persil washing gel in capsules. Contains a high concentration of surfactants, enzymes, and liquid stain remover. Does not leave any residue on fabrics or in the machine and effectively removes heavy stains.

Many housewives are concerned about the question of where to buy gel capsules for washing. There is no difficulty in this.

You can purchase them both in regular stores and online. Online prices are more attractive, and the larger the packaging, the cheaper the purchase.

Every housewife has a different opinion about certain washing gels. Some enjoy the benefits of civilization, while others are quite picky and conservative and carefully choose laundry products.

Many women are loyal to power wash washing gel. It does not contain phosphates and has a pleasant aroma of sea freshness.

Suitable for washing linen, cotton, linen, synthetic and natural fabrics. Can be used for hand washing. Prevents the formation of scale, removes stains from juice, coffee, and fruit.

Ariel washing gel, according to reviews from housewives, copes with stains without pre-soaking and preserves the whiteness of white things. But there are also disadvantages - a rather complex chemical composition that can cause allergies, as well as a pungent odor.

is a gel-like concentrated product that not only removes stains, but also preserves the color of the fabric, prevents discoloration, and does not require additional rinsing.

Safe as it does not contain phosphates, dyes or alcohol. Many mothers use it to wash children's clothes together with conditioner from the same manufacturer.

Currently, a lot of counterfeit washing powder has appeared on the territory of Ukraine, which is issued under the guise of original German one. The understanding that you bought a fake comes with the first wash of your clothes with this powder. Having compared the result, you understand that it is not powder, but dust. But the money has already been spent...

So let's get started.

Persil Gel- the most common type of counterfeit in our country, due to the packaging, which can be ordered from many companies involved in the production of plastic packaging.

The difference between the original and fakes:

1) the Hankel brand, in order to avoid selling stale (expired) goods, periodically changes the design of its bottles. Currently it is a clear bottle with green or blue liquid (Universal/Color). Everything that is currently on sale t in white cans either a fake or an expired gel (in the second photo).

REAL GELS ARE NOT JELLIES!

THEY are moderately thick, more reminiscent of dish soap, but NOT JELLY! Although many people think that it should be the other way around!

2) The newest fakes are very similar to the original, but differ in that the fakes have two or three ribs above the front sticker, which the original does not have. To fake the powder, would-be sellers buy cheap Klee or Purox powder, peel off the stickers and glue in their place stickers similar to the original, a la Persil. You can see the difference for yourself.

The same thing is true with white banks, which sellers are trying to sell the product as Belgian production.

Many buyers complain about fake Persil and Ariel gels (Persil gel / Ariel gel) from the website olx.ua, which are sold there for 100-200-300 UAH.

Our dear customers, we are responsible only for our powders and gels. You can be 100% confident in them.

And everything else is on the conscience of the “bad” sellers. You will be lucky if the gels you purchased were of factory quality and passed at least some tests for the chemical composition and no one in the house will itch.

Unfortunately, there have already been such cases from cheap ala Persil.
Take care of your health, it is more valuable!

3) Colors! Remember, Persil Universal is a liquid and the label is only green!!!

Persil Color liquid and label are only blue-gray in color (2nd photo - Belgian gel)!!!

It doesn’t happen that it says Universal and the liquid is blue, like on a fake, the photo of which you can see below.

4) the expiration date and release date are never written on German gels - this information is encrypted in the barcode. These elements are present on non-originals.

5) the jar with the liquid is completely transparent (not translucent or colored)!!

Where is the original - Belgium, I think you already guessed (on the left):

6) German Persil has a certain number of washes. 44-48, 50-55, 65, 65+5, 70. Belgian Persil 77 (transparent can) and 85 (white can) and they all change from time to time, because the manufacturer insures itself against counterfeits. At the moment, the classification according to the number of washes is as follows.

7) Can shape is always the same and cannot be different. The jar is smooth, completely transparent, one edge above and one edge below the sticker, there are bulges on the handle for easy holding of the bottle, a cap does not seal, there is a spout for carefully pouring the gel into the machine.

Counterfeit option with a “seal”, marker or excise tax:

8) Transport packaging! In our office you can see boxes of Persil with gel, 2 cans per package, all of them are sealed and have windows through which you can see what’s inside.

Fake Persils are sold in cardboard packages of regular gray color without any special design. Compare for yourself:

and here is a batch of fake regular Persil in gray packages.

It is noteworthy that in the photo you see Ariel and Persil and the design of the cans is the same, Only the stickers are different! The two competing companies Persil (Henkel) and Ariel (P&G) simply would not have allowed this to happen.

Let us give examples of bright counterfeits of German powders, these include Persil dry powders, unfortunately, and many Ariel gels.

REMEMBER! Persil is produced in more than 70 countries in 340 factories!

This means that there are Persil gels with rinses, there are gels without ribbons, with different numbers of washes, with fragrances, but all of them MUST be on the websites of the manufacturing countries, certified and tested in their country. Don't be too lazy to search on Google.

We are not saying that they are bad, but we cannot say that this is the SAME Persil that is made for the German market, and which is THE BEST. We talk about counterfeits of German gel.

Our gels on the market are 95% fake.

Here are striking examples of counterfeits of not only Persil gel, in our opinion, if you compare them with the original jar, you yourself will find a lot of differences:

9 ) special attention to canisters with Persil gel. More than 97% of our market is fake. Promotional packaging for 100 or more washes in canisters is very rare in German stores, so your chances of getting a fake are 9 to 10.

The cans of this volume are only white, and all the other distinctive features that have already been listed above also apply to this gel. However, all these canisters are Belgian-made and are marked Professional / Business. We do not advise you to buy 10 liter canisters, or do it from a TRUSTED SUPPLIER.

Well, a few words about the consistency and smell. In the original gel, the liquid is not thick like jelly - this is important! Jelly gels are often offered... however, the original powder is more liquid.

About the smell - the classic German Persil does not have a strong smell, but it is pronounced, there are no additional rinse aids, the aroma is pleasant, it lasts longer after washing than after dry Persil powder, which has practically no smell at all.

There are NO labels in other languages ​​on these gels.- only in German! Here is an example of Persil, presented as an original German one, supposedly with Silan rinse aid. At best, this is made in Austria or Belgium, and at worst, it is a complete fake, judging by the vertically elongated icon with the number of washes (for original gels this element is strictly square). Well, again, a white can, expiration dates....

10) The most important! PRICE!

In a German store, the price for a jar of gel for 65 washes starts from 14 euros (don’t be lazy to look at the German website). Multiplying it by the current euro exchange rate, you can realistically imagine how much this powder will cost in Ukraine without taking into account transportation and the seller’s profit. Now compare the amount received with the price on free advertising sites on the Internet and ask yourself whether this powder is original. With a cost price in Ukraine of almost 400 UAH, it can’t possibly cost 150-200. The fundamental criterion for selecting the original powder initially is that you must have its cost, below a certain level of which there are probably fakes, and then, using the above tips, make your choice.

In turn, the site takes full responsibility for the original powders sold. and their quality and will be happy to advise you in any given situation. We are always happy to help you and your family. We offer a variety of products to suit every budget. We bring original German products. And we will always tell you where and whose powder or gel is.
Happy shopping!

Advantages: convenient to use, economical, does not leave streaks on things

Disadvantages: Doesn't remove tough stains

I began to notice a long time ago that many people simply began to abandon conventional powders for washing clothes and began to switch to washing gels. And it is absolutely no coincidence, since the consumption of such products, unlike powder, is much less, they take up little space in the bathroom, and such products are convenient to store and use. Well, for women, carrying several laundry detergents in the form of a gel is much easier than lugging large bags of powder.

Personally, I have long understood all the advantages of gels for washing clothes and began to give up a little bit of different powders for washing clothes. Moreover, now more and more such laundry gels are being produced and you can already find similar products in various versions and from your favorite brands. It’s just that some people, for example, prefer laundry detergents called Ariel, some Tide, and some Persil. And someone may wash their things using some other means. And each manufacturer, of course, tries to please its customers and constantly releases more and more new products that correspond to the latest innovations.

Of course, about each type of washing gel. which are currently being produced, I cannot tell you, since there are quite a lot of them. But I’ll tell you about the brand of washing gels that I used myself. And this washing gel is called R ersil. I think that everyone has bought laundry detergent from this manufacturer at least once. Moreover, I personally used powders of this brand constantly at one time, and even now I really like them too. Only, in my opinion, using the gel has become much more convenient and practical.

So what types of washing gel can you buy from this manufacturer? The most common laundry gel from Persil is a gel called Persil Color Gel.

This gel is designed specifically for washing colored items. The convenience of this gel lies in the fact that you can use it to wash almost any colored items without actually losing their color.

The gel itself has a pleasant blue color and a very good smell. Of course, there is no such smell from washing powder. I really like it when things smell fresh after washing and this gel gives such an excellent effect.

And for convenience, this gel comes with a special measuring cup, which is convenient for pouring it into the washing machine. The gel is quite thick and forms foam well. It also removes things well, and even if you wash jackets with it, it doesn’t leave any streaks at all.

This gel is designed specifically for washing already white laundry. Personally, I bought this gel only probably twice. It’s just that now I have practically only bed linen left, which is why I don’t use it often.

The gel itself already has a lilac color and just a very pronounced smell, which is really vaguely similar to lavender. For me personally, this smell was not very pleasant. Of course, when you feel it only for a few minutes, it’s nothing, but when it’s constantly standing at home after washing, then you start to feel dizzy from it.

As for the quality of the gel itself, if your bed linen does not have stains, then it will cope with washing perfectly. The linen simply shines white after it. But this product cannot cope with complex stains.

This gel is designed specifically for people with sensitive skin. Personally, I only bought it once. And to be honest, I personally didn’t really like it. It copes with washing with a C grade and I didn’t see any special effect from it.

Persil liquid powder is used in the machine and when washed by hand. Depending on the variety, apply the gel to colored, light-colored synthetic and cotton items. Manufacturers do not produce separate gels for wool and silk. According to the instructions, the liquid is poured into the second compartment of the machine instead of powder, placed in a drum or dissolved in warm water when washing by hand. The line contains universal powders: Persil Professional Universal, Persil Red Ribbon, Persil Premium, Persil Business Line, as well as a product for white linen - Persil Expert, colored - Persil Color, and children's clothing - Persil Sensitive.

Persil Gel or “Persil Gel” for washing is available in large bottles with a dispenser cap.

Review of Persil powder: how to distinguish a fake from a natural product:
