The real stuff is difficult to find these days. You'll have the best luck online, Miele is no longer importing Henkels detergents from Germany, so the vac dealers may or may not have stock left. I've had the best luck ordering from productswithstyle.com, persilstore.com and Amazon. Also check the Miele branded offerings, their powders and colour and delicate liquids are sourced from Kreussler in Germany, the specialty laundry products are from various German manufacturers.

Amazon.com, www.persilstore.com, German Deli, ABT, and I think Gracious Home.

I hope that helps. Also.. call a few Miele Dealers, but few still carry it anymore.

Wow! responses already! I've been eyeing it on Amazon but the price is a real choke point. Are there truly no comparable US products?

I love what those products did for my clothes, so I think I'm about to pony up $100 for detergent!

Don't forget your Vernel & Lenor ;)

Few here know Perwoll at all. I get the dark liquid from persilstore or by googling to see who is carrying it. Amazon also has it. If you get to NYC one of the Gracious Home has most everything. It is quite expensive except for Persil which is now in supermarkets -- an American version anyway though some of us like it.

When did the US Miele dealers stop ordering it?

Last couple orders for me have been from eurofoodimports. Much cheaper per item, but no free shipping..BUT they charge what seems to be very close to actual, which really pays off if ordering multiple items. Otherwise, it's pretty close to amazon/persilstore for single items. Plus they have some nice food/candy items you can add in

It's not that dealers stopped ordering it. Miele US doesn't/can't import it from Henkel Germany anymore, because Henkel US has a Persil version for our market. So it's not available to the dealer network anymore. Yes, the prices are outrageous! Many people on this board are happy with American heavy duty detergents. Tide with bleach, in particular, is close to the Universal powder. I can't stand the new scent, so it's back to the imports. Perwoll doesn't really have an equivalent here, the closest you'll find are Woolite and some of the natural offerings. Nothing compares to Perwoll for Blacks and the red bottle, forget what's called. Both are great for protecting colours and actually clean.

persilstore.com has the full Perwoll line but had little Persil when I last checked. Has anyone tried the Perwoll formula for whites?

Not sure of costs but these guys ship to US.
