I was a bit sceptical about using them as most detergents don’t follow up with the features advertised. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Persil Powergems did follow through and the clothes did come out cleaner and smelling fresher. I was excited to hear about Persil laundry crystals, a brand new product on the market and just launched. Persil Powergems are said to offer a ‘unique and revolutionary laundry experience’– big aims! I was excited to get a chance to put it the test.

I am sure that the amount of washing I need to do has doubled exponentially with each child we have added to the family. As little babies they get through several outfits a day and it doesn’t seem to have eased off, especially with the introduction of double potty training last month and the big two’s ability to decorate their school shirts with their lunches every day. Persil powergems definitely cleaned my wash better and the stains came out first time, even a spaghetti sauce stain that I have not been able to shift. The fragrance was really clean and fresh and stayed on our clothes for days. I really like this product, I like how clean and easy to use it is and I would definitely buy it in future. In testing with consumers, 92% said Powergems exceeded their expectations and 74% rated the product as new and different compared to other laundry detergents available.

One of the triple action features with the Powergems is freshness, and the clothes definitely came out with a more noticeable fresh fragrance than we’re used to.

In The Playroom is a UK based Parenting Lifestyle Blog with a focus on crafts, free printables and kids activities. Founded in 2011, the blog is ranked #2 in the UK and is co-written by Anna Marikar and Luciana Oliveira, best friends and mums of 5 kids and a dog. With this insight, our R&D centres in Mumbai, Vlaardingen and Port Sunlight, sought to create a laundry product from scratch that uses 100% active ingredients and is twice as concentrated as powder. The new formulation, produced in Lord Lever’s first-ever soap factory in Warrington, removes stains effectively with less mess than a powder, but with the care and intense freshness of a liquid. This new technology allows fragrance molecules to cling to fabric throughout the wash. Persil Powergems offers you the ultimate washing experience and helps your clothes stay as good as new wash after wash. One dose of this is all you need to effectively remove tough stains and give your clothes an extraordinary freshness. The plus that I’ve found with these over the capsule style is that you do have more control over the amount you use. So if washing a really small load, you could fill up to the half way line and for a full or heavily soiled load fill to the top.

I have done 10 washes with the new Persil Ultimate Powergems and have been delighted with the results. I have not had to rewash any of the clothes and it even managed to get tomato sauce out of a school shirt with no pre-treating. Persil have launched a new format of laundry detergent with triple power; Persil Powergems. For the past few years, I’ve been washing all of our clothes with capsule style of laundry detergent, so I was wondered whether the new Powergems would win me over with their convenience or results, and I was interested to give them a go! I am going to be honest and say that Persil is my go to washing liquid. It doesn’t aggravate Maxi’s eczema, Mini likes the smell and it is reliable. I also try and keep on top of the laundry and not let stains set (something I learned from my mum). Also, this is a paid review but that doesn’t influence my opinion and I will always be honest, Teach the children and your partner how to do the laundry – This was a life changer for me. Now I just have to say can you pop the washing on and either the boys or MadDad will do it. You do not have to do everything and delegating is a great thing. I shall have a go at this product as I am fed up of stains not coming out in the wash when products promise they will. I’m not sure if it’s my washing machine, the products I am using or the water supply but some stains NEVER come out. *angry face* I shall have a go at this in the hope that something on the market actually works!

As a result, consumers will be able to use less product to get brilliant results.

Although I was really skeptical about the claims of stain removal / freshness with so little product, I am now a convert! These little confetti (they’re more like confetti than gems, right?) are brilliant and removed all our stains on cooler cycles than I normally go for. Brilliant!

All that aside, I have at times found the elusive bottom of the washing basket and feel that with the right routine, I can keep on top of the washing. Here are my tips for finding the bottom of the basket with a bigger family: My boys have certain clothes that they love and want to wear constantly (their football kits!) so I need our laundry detergent to care for the clothes well, keeping their colour from fading.
