I use Persil and have never experienced the sour smell.

Since it first came to market Persil liquid has undergone 3 or 4 formula changes so it's worth a try. Please let us know how it goes this time.

I'm happy to report that I did three loads of laundry and there was no sour smell with the Persil Pro-10.

I have found Persil to be very sudsy in the past. Did you experience a lot of suds?

Liquid Persil dosing can be tricky. It does generate more suds than some other products but the suds typically dissipate promptly on rinsing. I've don't have appreciable suds in the rinse, although I have moderately+ hard well-water which makes rinsing "easier" than softened water.

The WORST oversudsing I've had with Persil liquid was when washing a single (queen) pillow. I used what I thought was a reasonable dose (probably 1-1/2 tbsp) ... and TONS of suds. However, pillows are much more tricky than other items because of holding air (which exacerbates sudsing when it releases) and because the amount of fabric is really minimal compared to the physical size.

I did find that the Persil was more sudsy that the TIDE original HE that I usually use. It made me wonder if the "recommended amount" for regular loads (Line 2) was too much. Seemed not to rinse out very well. I had to do some extra rinsing.

I washed a pillow (had a blood stain) couple days ago. Used 2 tbsp STPP, 4 tbsp Biz powder and 2 tbsp Cheer powder. No sudsing.

I have very soft water so suds are sometimes an issue with all detergents.

I don't bother with any recommended amount and instead dose by load size. I have a front loader and on clothes that have no visible marks I only does to 29 ml which is line 1. I use more if I have dirty clothes but average soil seems to clean just fine at line 1. Soft water I would use less than line 1

I used pro clean original and made myself use it all, even though I really wanted to just toss it.

I hated the smell . And I had major sudsing issues with it. My city water is 8.2 grains per gallon.

When did you use it?

Jerrod, I used it when it first came out in the US market.

So is the Pro-10 formula the latest and greatest? Seems like I can only find it at CVS. Other stores carry "Deep Clean".

The Pro-10 formula was released early last year. The Deep Clean is the newest formula. I used up the Pro-10 and have the Deep Clean. I have a front loader so only I use about 29 ml, line 1 for my everyday loads and I use just over line 1 for items with more soil. The Deep Clean seems to work just fine. I have a

washer with it's own dispensing system, but this week I am planning to use the Deep Clean for most of my loads.
