Where's the Persil?

8 years ago

I went to Wal Mart tonight to get my usual Persil 2 in 1. The shelf was nearly empty except for 1 box of pods, and two of the small bottles. Is there something up?

    I can only hope they are reformulating it to make it LESS SUDSY.

    Haven’t been in Walmart lately but target had a lot of it Thursday

    I don't know. I recently bought a couple of bottles of ProClean and noticed that the label says Pro10 Premium clean, 10 dimensions of clean.

    I don't know if it has been reformulated, but I don't remember that being on the label of the last one I bought a few months ago.

    Same at my Walmart. Yesterday I noticed almost all the Persil gone. I commented to Mike...somethings going on.

    WalMart is lousy about stocking items in all departments. Can't tell you how many times I've run into empty shelves for the one item I've come into the store for.

    I think it's simply because supplies are limited as there is a $3 Persil coupon circulating now.

    I don't think it's just an issue of stocking. There was actually a stocker in the aisle filling in the Tide, Purex, and gain. There was just this huge gaping hole where the Persil is supposed to be with stickers over the price markers that say "temporarily out of stock."

    Amynrichie, that's what I mean. Maybe not stocking per se but supply. Happens in a lot of products in most other departments at Walmart. Gaping holes on the shelves.

    I have went to six different Walmart’s as persil sent me q coupon for free bottle (not really free since it says max value of 9.99 and nobody sells it for 9.99 unless on sale) and all the large bottles were gone. Asked an associate and she said it was on backorder and a lot of people been buying it because of the higher value coupons that requires the larger bottles be purchased.

    Finally went to Kroger and had no issues finding it, and ironically was 9.99 when I got it there. Target had plenty too. Mabey Walmart’s distributes was out who knows. Got the sensitive kind for my son and was surprised it’s not as sudsy as it once was and finally took the perfume out of it. It does say 10 demensions of clean on it too.

    I love the Persil sensitive. Low suds and cleans anything.

    The version that says 10 dimensions of clean is reformulated from the original version. The cap also has more dosing lines - well now bars, inside so you have better control of dosing. For regular soil( none to few marks on a few items) in my front loader I use line 1 which is 29.5 mls. close to 2 tablespoons, the next line is 46 ml, the next is 53 ml, 59, and 73.5 ml. I have never used more than 46ml-for a completely full tub and I dose this just like I dose the German formulas - that is use what works for me and ignore the instructions on the container which has you using more than you need to get the job done. For washing a few items I use less than line 1. I use no boosters.

    I need to try the sensitive and see if it works for me.

    I guess I need to try the sensitive version again. I tried it once and wasn't impressed. In my machine, Tide Free, Era Free and Kirkland Signature Ultra Clean Free performs better. BTW, I have two of those $3 Persil coupons.

    Where do you get the $3 coupon?

    Local WM has always been variable on Persil stock, and it hasn't carried the 2 in 1 liquid for some while. A WM in a nearby larger city has 2 in 1. I noticed on a recent visit that a regional grocery chain had Persil liquid, a few bottles on the top shelf, but I didn't notice what version(s).

    Kroger had the 32 load on sale for 4.99 plus $2 off coupon, so I went back to get some more, and they were out. So, I went to Walmart and they only had three 25 load bottles, a couple of the pac containers and 1 very large $18 bottle left on the shelf.

    I took the three 25 load bottles and used the $2 off coupons on them.

    Wonder what is going on? Maybe they are just not selling well enough at the regular price for stores to keep them in stock? Kroger had quite a few of the regular size bottles that they had retail of $11.99 still on the shelf.
