Advantages: Kind to your clothes and skin.

Disadvantages: Not so good at lower temperatures

We have always used Persil to wash our clothes (apart from a brief spell of using Ariel) and two years ago after a problem of finding white deposits of powder on our clothes we decided to switch from Persil powder to Persil Biological Liquigel.

Generally this product is very good, at high temperatures it removes nearly all stains and the most heavy ones can be removed by adding some liquigel to the stain before the item of clothing is put into the washing machine. At lower temperatures the results are not so good and some stains are not washed out. Ariel seemed to clean much better at lower temperatures, unfortunately we were unable to continue using Ariel because it really irritated my wife's eczema which meant switching back to Persil.
Another good thing about liquigel is that you do not add the liquid to the washing machines draw but simply add it to the wash by filling up a plastic ball and then placing this on top of the dirty washing inside the machine. Therefore your machine draw never needs cleaning of all the wasted powder that just sits building up. The liquigel has quite a nice fresh smell to it but can be slightly over powering when washing at high temperatures. The price at present is a little steep at £3.99 for a 1.5L bottle, Ariel Biological Liquid Bottle 1.5L is £3.48 which is a lot cheaper.

Overall a good all round washing detergent but a little pricey.

Summary: A good all round washing detergent
