Persil Original Liquid Laundry Detergent

The Canadian page lists two bottles: 1.86 L for 48 loads, and 3.72 L for 96.

Persil Original liquid is the everyday formula. The page says fabric-care ingredients help limit colour fading. The comparison line is against a leading value detergent, not against a Canadian brand. If you used ProClean Original, Persil says this Everyday Clean bottle is that clean plus fabric care.

Henkel owns Persil. The brand FAQ places Henkel in Düsseldorf and dates the detergent to 1907 in Germany, with a 2015 launch in the United States. This Canadian product page does not name a factory.

Origin unverified

This is Henkel's everyday Persil, sold to Canada in two bottle sizes. The page never says the liquid is bottled here. Henkel's FAQ puts the company in Germany and traces the name to 1907.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Persil Original liquid made in Canada?

Not according to the Canadian product page. It shows two bottle sizes and stops there. Persil's help pages say Henkel, in Düsseldorf, owns the brand, and that American stores got it in 2015.

What sizes does Persil Original liquid come in?

Two. A smaller bottle is marked 48 washes. A larger bottle is marked 96 washes. Persil tells you to read the back label for the dose, because the web page does not print one.

Is Persil Original the same as ProClean?

Persil says if you liked ProClean Original, Everyday Clean Original is the same deep clean with fabric-care ingredients added. The Canadian liquid page uses that line. It is a formula update, not a new owner.

Who owns Persil detergent?

Henkel owns Persil. The Persil FAQ says Henkel Corporation, headquartered in Düsseldorf, Germany, and lists Purex, Dial, and Snuggle in the same US laundry portfolio. The brand started in Germany in 1907.

Does Persil Original work in cold water?

Persil says its detergents, including Original, work in any water temperature and in top-loading, front-loading, and high-efficiency machines. That line is on the Persil laundry-tips page, not only on the bottle photo.
