Ummm...so the bottle I have that I purchased a few months a go is already obsolete and I haven't even used it yet?

Are you sure this is the formula for the powder pearls? Most of these ingredients are seen as part of a liquid formula, never a powder. Or is this the 2in1 pro liquid formula?

Is where I got it from under the pearls original scent

This is the 2in1

Where is the bleaching agent? Is that "Sodium Carbonate Peroxohydrate?"

Sure does look like Persils typo, but yes that's the bleaching agent.

Not sure if the Canadian version is different but I bought mine last month and it's very effective. Stains that weren't coming out with Tide and Oxy plus soaking are gone and all my whites are very fresh. I'm interested to see what the bottle looks like the next time I'm in the store.

I I have always been a Tide girl, but with the too sweet scent and how well Persil is working with my kids' clothes and hard water, I think my brand loyalty is switching.

Mamapinky, how do you tell which ingredients are enzymes? Sorry to be so ignorant... haha

Lipase, Amylase, Protease, Cellulase, Mannanase

These are the enzymes in ProPearls

Its ok dear to ask questions. ..sometimes next to the name it will say enzymes, but usually have to memorize their names lol...there's only about 6 commonly used enzymes..notice they all end with *ASE* LOL

Ah, okay. That's a good hint then, if it ends in "ase". Thanks for the info! You are a regular encyclopedia!

Now I see why the pearls work so well on whites...They have tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED), a peroxide bleach activator.

Yes TAED has always been Persils bleach activator..I don't think any other detergent has the rights to it...P&G has its own activator.

TAED is in a lot of dishwasher detergents.

Greeny your right..was like 2--3 in the morning and I wasn't thinking...TAED ia used by everyone that wants it now...think the lock down ended quite awhile ago...must be P&G's NOBS that no one can touch.

Or has P&G now shared their bleach activator?

Mama, I have no idea. It's been pretty widely used in dw detergents for years.

There's two activated bleaching systems. TAED owned by Persil, which for years no one could use do to the patent rights which have expired so you will see TAED in others products..P&G has their own bleach activator, NOBS, so they wouldn't use TAED, however I don't think P&G has allowed their patent to expire, meaning no one but P&G can use the bleach activator NOBS. but its been quite awhile since I've read about this so I suppose P&G could have released the patent by now, anyway this is why you may run accross a powder detergent with bleach, ( not P&G or Persil owned) in the US that either have to use TAED or nothing. Most of the generic brands like Purex with Bleach powder I don't think use a bleach activator, do to the higher cost of making the formula. So will that work with no activator...yes if water temps are high enough, but on the other hand using a bleach powder detergent without an activator and warm water probably won't get you far.
