How to Use
Measure the powder with the dosing chart on the box: about 2.1 oz (60 g) for a normally soiled load in medium-hard water, more for heavy soil or very hard water, less for soft water. Add it to the detergent compartment of the drawer or straight into the drum before loading. Sort by color and wash colored cotton, linen, and synthetics at 68 to 140 F (20 to 60 C). Store the closed box in a dry place; damp powder clumps.
About Persil
Persil was introduced by Henkel in Germany in 1907 as the first self-acting laundry detergent, and it remains one of the most widely used detergent brands in Germany and across continental Europe. Henkel, headquartered in Dusseldorf, still develops and produces the European Persil range, which is formulated separately from the Persil sold in US supermarkets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which fabrics is Persil Color Powder suitable for?
It is a color-care powder for colored and colorfast cotton, linen, and synthetic laundry such as t-shirts, jeans, sportswear, and bed linen. It contains no bleaching agents, so colors stay bright. It is not for wool, silk, or fine delicates. European powders are designed for front-loading drum machines; check the printed dosing guide for your machine and water hardness.
How much Persil Color Powder should I use per wash?
Follow the dosing chart on the back of the box. The 130-load figure is based on a normally soiled load in medium-hard water, about 2.1 oz (60 g) of powder. Use more for heavily soiled loads or hard water and less in soft water or for lightly worn clothes. Too much powder leaves residue and does not clean better.
How should I store and handle Persil laundry powder?
Keep the box closed, dry, and out of reach of children. The powder can irritate eyes, so avoid raising dust when scooping and rinse well with water if contact occurs. Do not mix it with other cleaning products. Stored at room temperature away from moisture, the powder keeps its cleaning strength; if it clumps, break it up before dosing.
Is this the same Persil sold in Germany?
Yes. This is the Persil Color Pulver box that Henkel makes in Germany, with a German label and dosing chart, sold in the large 130-load format used by commercial laundries and big households. It is a different formulation from the Persil sold in US supermarkets. Real Prime Deals imports it directly from Europe and sells it as a single box.
