Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people were dissatisfied with the product, reporting that it negatively affected their laundry, including changes to fabric texture and appearance. Customers also frequently experienced adverse skin reactions, which they attributed to the product's formula, especially the "non-bio" versions. Some people also felt that the product's stain removal capabilities were subpar, requiring re-washing or additional stain removers. Reviewers also noted issues with packaging, such as leaking capsules and poorly designed dispenser lids, and found the scent of some products to be overwhelmingly strong.

Nowhere near as good a product as it was - Not worth the extra money

Have used Persil None Bio for years and have been prepared to pay a higher price for the quality which was always excellent. Increasingly I have discovered that the stain removal of the power is no where near the standard it was and I am having to re wash and sometime add a topical stain remover to get rid of the most basic everyday stains. I am now going to switch to a supermarket own brand and try that as the powder is not worth the extra money I am paying

Persil: Now Endorsed by Mediocrity

Persil’s marketing team must have completely lost the plot. Once a respected, no-nonsense household name, they’ve now chosen to associate themselves with Molly-Mae — a talentless hanger-on whose only claim to fame is appearing on a string of TV shows made by cretins, featuring cretins, and watched by cretins.

What exactly does she bring to the table? She’s not funny, she’s not clever, she’s not inspiring. She’s famous for being famous — a walking advert for vapid self-promotion and the depressing state of modern celebrity culture.

For a brand that built its reputation on trust and hard work, to stoop to this level is embarrassing. It’s like watching your dependable old washing powder decide it wants to be “edgy” and “relevant,” only to end up looking desperate.

Until Persil realises that real people don’t want to be lectured about cleanliness by someone whose career was built on televised nonsense, I’ll be buying literally anything else.

Useless customer service

I purchased a pack of 24 Persil capsules today. When I arrived home and unpacked the shopping, the Persil box was wet at the bottom. Inside one of the capsules was empty, it had leaked onto all of the others and they all had to be thrown away.
I contacted customer service and was told I could receive a voucher on my phone. However, I am 81 and do not use my phone for purchases. I was told there was no other way, so I have just lost £7

TV advert

Dear Persil
Why on earth would you use a 'celebrity' for one of your adverts who is so unrecognizable and unknown to most of the public that she has to announce at the beginning :
Hello it's Molly Mae here....
quite ridiculous....

I initially thought brilliant for a quick wash so I bought 4 large bottles when it was on offer. I thought it great for washing the clothes & everything came out clean & even removed stains. I’ve continued to use it & purchased more. What I didn’t realise until I read the reviews that I’ve been having seriously itching skin which I & my Dr put down to my medical condition. Now I’m thinking it’s probably the person because in hind site the rash only started after using this item. I’m glad I’ve read some of the reviews as I was looking on google to check if any of the supermarkets had the new wonder white on offer. Thank you Trustpilot & those reviews regarding the skin issues

Persil the killer and destroyer

Persil the killer and destroyer

I have been washing my laundry with Persil for a while. When I wore it for a long time or when I wore it at night and woke up in the morning, red eczamas developed all over. For days I tried to understand where the problem was coming from for allergy medication. Finally I realized that Persil was trying to destroy me. The chemicals left on the clothes from persil were destroying me. Shame on you, Persil. You are a disgraceful product.

I can provide pictures if requested

If I could give no stars….appalling product. Have always used Persil Non Bio Liquid. The bottle I’m using at the moment is bleaching my clothes, (the light coloured ones only for some reason) great big white stains everywhere that do not wash out, has so far ruined 2 new first wash t shirts and various others on a wash. The ingredients have definitely changed will not be using again. No doubt Persil will not be bothered by skin complaints and ruined clothes.

The packaging is terrible

The packaging is terrible. The plastic dispenser lid is globe shaped which encourages the liquid to drip down round the sides of the bottle when you replace the lid which is very wasteful. When the liquid detergent does run down the sides of the bottle it looks extremely white making me think there's some strong bleaching agent in it. It smells OK but I'm going to revert back to Aldi own brand and save money and mess.

I have used Persil non bio for 20 years as it was the only thing I wasn't allergic to and was safe to use as I have ezcema.
Recently had a serious flare up of excema on my legs arms and torso the worse it's been ever! As soon as I saw Persil have changed their
Formula I realised it must be this and have stopped using it immediately. Will be washing in baking soda from now on. So disappointing as this was my go to safe washing powder.

Have used Persil non bio for 30 years plus never a problem. Just changed to Persil wonder wash, both myself and my husband have had a terrible allergic reaction to this product. Painful itchy rash all over legs and torso. Will never buy Persil again. Can’t believe this product is on the market as I have now seen many other reviews saying exactly the same. Not happy!!!!
