Persil Advanced Clean Oxi+Odor Power Liquid Laundry Detergent, 126 fl oz, 75 Loads

I am 65 years old, handicap, in a wheelchair, homebound, no longer have the option of driving. I live in an apartment, and washer and dryers are not allowed. They do have a community laundrymat, but it is nearly impossible to get to, cause it is in a separate building, and located downstairs, and is not handicap accessible. So I have no choice but to hand wash my clothes. I'm really very good at it, by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. I pretreat stains and spots, I use Oxy, or dawn dishliquid. Tools needed: 1. sink or 2 gallon bucket 2. large wooden spoon 3. Persil detergent steps: 1. fill bucket or sink with hot faucet water 2. fill with water to desired height. 3. add 1 ounce of Persil detergent. 4. swoosh detergent around with wooden spoon. 5. add clothing one piece at a time, and swoosh around with spoon, until completely wet. Just a couple of seconds. (you can actually see the water getting dirty, from clothes releasing dirt.) 6. You want the clothes to freely move in water, so dont over pack. 7. swoosh around a couple seconds every 30 minutes for one hour. (I sometimes just let them soak over night.) 8. drain off water 9. rinse ( I rinse twice) 10. wring out and air dry Note: no scrubbing, the stains are simply lifted out. Works really well on kitchen towels, bbq sauce, mustard, lift right out. i cannot attest to cosmetics, because I dont wear them, but I hear they are a doosey to remove. And the smell is nice and not overwhelming. I have tried a lot of detergents, name brand, and this one is the most effortless, in getting clothes clean without scrubbing. I know this may sound like a lot work, but you do what you have to do, to survive, and the Lord provides! God Bless! The Widow Debbie

This detergent is always one of the 3 in my stash. One regular, one dye and perfume free, and one oxy style. This doesn't smell too harsh. You don't have to use too much, in fact I always use less than it recommends and my clothes are always clean. I almost exclusively wash on cold water and I am a blue collar worker so my clothes are sometimes very, very dirty.
