Persil Wonder Wash is a new laundry detergent optimized for short washing cycles and effectively cleans garments in just 15 minutes. This innovative laundry formula was developed in response to the rise of athleisure, work-from-home life and new washing machines that offer shorter cycle settings. According to Unilever, more than two-thirds (78%) of washing machine owners choose a cycle that lasts less than 30 minutes at least once a week, and this better accommodates clothes that need washing yet show no visible stains.
Wonder Wash—which has 35 patents pending—specifically addresses the major pain points of short washing cycles by removing odors without leaving a sticky residue, all while maintaining freshness and fabric care.
Wonder Wash is rolling out first in the UK, Ireland and China under Unilever's Under its Dirt Is Good brand, which encompasses Persil, Omo and Skip.
