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.

Hervorragende Waschleistung Und ein wirklich guter Geruch auch ohne Waschpulver. Mein neues Lieblingswaschmittel !
Love It…
Ottimo prodotto che non si trova in Italia.Spedizione costosa.Lo compro sempre anche nella versione per il bucato bianco.
Excellent performance.
Mit dem Waschpulver von Persil haben wir über Jahre hinweg gut Erfahrungen gemacht.
Das Beste Pulver zum Waschenverklebt nicht und man hat keine Schlieren auf der Wäsche👍
best detergent for laundry and the washing machines
Best detergent I have ever used- takes out stains- clothes smell fresh but not perfume-y.
Ottima qualità ne servono pochi grammi per 1 Kg di biancheria. Smacchia senza bisogno di aggiungere altri prodotti. Ha un profumo molto gradevole.
I love this detergent, a little goes a long way. Cleans great, lovely mild scent.
German Waschpulver are simply the best.
As a mom of toddlers I was tired of washing the clothes just to see they are dirty as they never have been washed. And all these stain removers didn't work for me, they could make the stains lighter but never gone. I used Persil when I lived back in Europe and I was so happy to order it again. It's a game-changer. No more 1001 tricks to remove stains, you just wash the clothes and that's it. You need to find the best proportion for your washing machine though. But afterwards it's a breeze.
Simply Best washing powder ever
This is good detergent. But, it's no better than the very best Tide powder(without a doubt this and Tide with Oxi are the best two detergents on the market). It has absolutely nothing wrong with it. In fact, it's a pretty damn good soap. But, it being nearly twice the price of Tide, I don't think it's a great purchase. Just an FYI, the German Persil soap is significantly different than the American made Persil liquid. In fact, Henkel doesn't even make the liquid in the US, they subcontract. The professional version of the powder is made in Germany and more concentrated than the regular version (fewer fillers). Megapearls are even stronger than the professional.
I only use the German Product so I was very pleased to be able to use my Prime shipping and receive delivery within a few days of my order. I do T know exactly the difference between the Original German product and the US version but their cleaning properties are night and day. I am a family of 4 with pets so I have lots of laundry. This large box actually lasts me about 6 months so the price is awesome when I take into consideration I get more than 100 loads per box. I keep a 1/4 cup measuring cup in the box and that is how much I use per load. I don’t have to add softener but sometimes I will add a laundry sanitizer if I am washing dog bedding because I do typically do a pre-soak on those items. This is truly a great product and am so glad I found it.
Really good laundry powder. Trust the Germans to get it right
I have used this product (Persil by Henkel for colored clothing/items) since I purchased my Miele washer and dryer in 2004, for washing in cold or warm water. These are pink and white “pearls.” I also use Persil blue and white “pearls” for washing anything I wash in hot water. I never will change from Persil products! (And my Miele washer and dryer both have never needed a repair in these 20 years.)
I've been using Persil for 30 years, tried other brands, still return to Persil.
