     Topic: Persil Sensitive - a cheaper alternative     Posted: 31 March 2008 at 9:27am | 
 
 
  
   
   
   For those who use Persil Sensitive (like us), just thought you might want to know there's a new sensitive washing powder out there - Reflect Sensitive.  I haven't used it yet, but my folks have and they say it's just as good as Persil (and about half the price).  Yay for half the price!

   I usually use Surf & noticed last time I was at the supermarket that there's now a Surf Sensitive.  I can't comment on what it's like as I've never used Persil.  Just thought I'd mention it.

   Ooo another one too! It's great there's a bit of competition now, Persil used to be the only choice.  Thanks sallybelly

   Yep Mum and Dad use reflect now instead of Persil. There was a comparison test in consumer mag ages ago, that rated them equal in cleaning power etc, but reflect heaps cheaper. 
 We use ecostore.

   What actually makes the powder" sensitive"?  I notice on the Surf box it says it's fragrance free.  I wonder if that's the only difference between sensitive & other powders?

   We use Reflect Sensitive and have found it to be really good. Much cheaper than Persil, which is what we used to use.
