- Tiefenrein Plus technology — Henkel's deep-clean system for tough stains, grease, and odors in work textiles

How to Use
Measure the powder with the dosing guide printed 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 directly into the drum before loading. Sort whites and colorfast items away from delicate colors, since the universal formula contains bleaching agents. Store the box closed in a dry place; powder that gets damp will clump.
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 and machines is Persil Professional Universal Powder suitable for?
It is a universal powder for white and colorfast cotton, linen, and synthetic laundry such as bed linen, towels, work shirts, and chef coats. It is not for wool, silk, or bright colors that may fade. European powders like this are designed for front-loading drum machines; check the printed dosing guide for your machine and water hardness.
How much Persil Professional powder do I use per load?
Use the dosing chart on the back of the box. The 130-load figure assumes a normally soiled load in medium water hardness, roughly 2.1 oz (60 g) of powder. Increase the dose for heavily soiled work clothes or hard water, and reduce it for soft water or lightly worn items. Overdosing wastes powder and can leave residue.
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 dust when scooping and rinse well with water if contact occurs. Do not mix it with other cleaning chemicals. Stored dry at room temperature, the powder keeps its cleaning strength for a long time, though clumping can appear if it gets damp.
Is this the same Persil sold in Germany?
Yes. This is the Persil Professional Universal Pulver box that Henkel produces in Germany for commercial laundries, hotels, and care homes, with a German-language label and dosing chart. 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 17.2 lb box.
