Advantages: non-bio is good for you

Disadvantages: hardly any smell to laundry and just doesn't work

I bought some of these when they were on offer and they were utterly useless. We had recently bought a new big posh Bosch washing machine, so the slating I am about to give this product definitely was not the fault of the machine. Other powders, tablets and capsules all worked fine. These did not.

I noticed after the first use that the clothes were not cleaned at all well. Generally they smelt clean and freshly washed but any stains had not come out. I continued to use the persil tablets though because I thought perhaps the stains were more ingrained than I had realised and maybe I should have tried some direct stain treatment prior to washing them (however, I never usually bother and stains always come out with other products).

The next time I used the persil tablets, I noticed that the clothes did not even smell clean, immediately after washing, I looked in the drawer and the tablets had dissolved into powder but has congealed as a mush in the drawer. I cleaned the drawer out, rinsed the washing machine at a high temperature and tried again. The same thing happened.

The only way I could use these was to dissolve them in a bowl of boiling water and then tip the water into the washing machine drawer!

AVOID!

Summary: Awful product
