History of the appearance of the product
Before breaking down the advantages and disadvantages of "Persil" gels, let's take a look back in time and see what this brand is, what company produces this product, and why it is so called. This product got its name from the chemicals in its composition.
Back in 1907, Henkel created a furore in the field of household chemicals. It invented a detergent that allowed you to quickly and effectively remove stains and bleach things without washing with a board.
The oxygen bubbles released by boiling the laundry gently bleached it. For the first time, bleaching was chlorine-free and the laundry smelled nice. In 1959, the composition of the product included fragrance and surface-active anionic substances that improve the quality of washing.
1969 was a time of widespread distribution of washing machines, increasing production of devices. The company producing Persil had to keep up with the times. That is why foam inhibitors were introduced into the detergent.
In the 70's, manufacturers derived a new formula, able to penetrate 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 detergent for machine washing, which protected the device from corrosion.
Every year the powders were becoming more and more qualitative. The company was using the new achievements of science and chemical production. The concentration of active substances became stronger, no more fragrances were added to the powder.
The laundry now required less powder, which saved customers' money, and gained popularity among the general population.
Henkel began to produce household detergents for different kinds of fabrics. Until then, no manufacturer had ever separated products according to their intended use.
They also introduced a fabric fade inhibitor that made colored fabrics brighter and prevented them from fading and staining other fabrics with their color. In 1994, the powder was replaced by pellets, which allowed saving money - instead of 290 ml was enough for washing 90 ml.
Manufacturers released a series of powders for children's underwear. It is hypoallergenic and does not cause dermatic rashes.
In 2000, the powder "Persil" began to be produced in Russia. Millions of customers became its admirers and used it only.
Now the laundry was already whitened at 40 degrees. Clothes were worn longer, pleasing their owners. After a while, manufacturers again amaze with their ingenuity: an improved formula appears that removes any stain.
The laundry detergent comes in powder and in pellets. Persil is available for white and for colored laundry, as well as an all-purpose detergent.
Powders are available for hand washing and for machine washing.
