Date Night Prep

Date night…

When you become a parent, date nights become more of an effort than they used to be.  Aside from looking for a sitter and making a dinner reservation, you actually have to look for something to wear that’s presentable.  Since my typical everyday attire consists of yoga pants and a cute t-shirt, this poses a problem.  
Most of my shirts that I once considered to be cute are out of style or just don’t fit like they used to.  What’s left are a handful of shirts I found on the clearance racks that are breastfeeding-friendly.  They almost all have buttons down the front, aren’t fancy and…
…you guessed it!  They’re covered in milk and spit-up stains which means they will need to be rewashed.  What’s even worse is when you go to grab the bottle of laundry soap to run a quick load only to find that it’s nearly empty.

Have you done the good ‘ol “stand the bottle upside down” trick to get as much laundry soap as you can out of the bottle?  Me too.  But wouldn’t it be nice if the bottles were clear so you could see just how much soap is left in the bottle?

Thankfully, Persil ProClean was thinking when they designed their new bottles.

I recently received a three-pack of Persil ProClean products to facilitate my review.  Regardless of compensation, my opinion is always my own.

First Impression

The Persil ProClean Power-Liquid and Power-Pearls are both held in a clear jug and come with an easy-to-use measuring cup.  You simply fill the cup to the first line (less than halfway full) for a normal load and double that amount for an extra large load.  No more guessing which line to use and having to choose between one, two, three, four or five lines.

If you’re one that struggles with extra strong scents, you might want to try the Persil ProClean line.  The best I can describe the original scent is: men’s cologne mixed with pine and clean soap.  I, personally, love products with a masculine scent and I especially love that these products don’t irritate my nose or skin.

What’s really most important to me aside from the cleaning power is the price of a product.  With the Power-Liquid 100fl oz bottle you get 64 loads for $11.97 at Walmart.  You get about 50 loads with the Power-Pearls for the same price.  If you love to use Power-Caps, you can get a pack of 16 for just $5.24.

The Test

I’ve recently tested out all three of the products mentioned above and have nothing negative to say about them.  This is shocking for me as I can usually find some reason why I wouldn’t purchase laundry soaps again.

I was shocked to find that the Power-Pearls didn’t leave any powder or residue behind.  I simply dumped one load’s worth in the drum of my HE machine and my clothes came out super clean and smelling amazing.

I’ve been using the Power-Liquid on my delicate loads as they are typically smaller and don’t require much soap.  It gets the spit-up stains out and doesn’t leave any soap spots on my clothes.

 I prefer using laundry soap capsules (or Power-Caps) on regular sized mixed loads with things like pajamas, kitchen towels, burp rags, etc.  They have also done a great job at cleaning our clothes and leave a light scent on them even after the dryer cycle.

Overall, my testing process has gone really well and I still can’t get over how nicely priced these products are.

And just in case you were wondering, our most recent date night was super fun.  We ended up doing a double date with some friends and went out for drinks and a nice dinner.  I ended up finding something to wear out of my “last minute” load of laundry and felt like an adult again.

    I go to a couple of different grocery stores and usually pick it up when I shop. One of them is Walmart and the other is a local grocer.

    I didn't know that I could buy Persil at Walmart. I shop at CVS or Family Dollar for my laundry detergent most of the time since they are closer but when I am in Walmart I usually stock up as well.

    I usually shop at Target, I hope Target starts carrying Persil soon! I did know that I can purchase Persil at Walmart.
