Review on 🌈 Revolutionize Laundry Care with Miele Ultra Color Powder by Beth Campbell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I prefer it to Persil!

There aren't many HE detergents for color in the US and I used to use Persil Color Megaperls (Persil Color MEGAPERLS Twin Pack - 36 Downloads). Why do I need a special cleaning agent for paints? Most "all purpose" detergents contain optical brighteners which can cause dark/saturated colors to look faded over time. They are added to make white things look bright and not dirty. I didn't really appreciate the smell and felt it made my clothes a bit stiff (I prefer not to use fabric softener in most load cases), so I decided to try something else. I have a Miele washing machine so obviously my next choice was the MieleCare line. Compared to Persil Megaperls, UltraColor detergent is more like a real powder than the practical Persil fine granules. It comes in a plastic bag to put in a box and inside is a small measuring spoon. For most loads I use 1/2-2/3 scoops, for heavy loads 3/4 and get great results - it cleans about the same as Persil, but the smell is much lighter (and more pleasant to me) and I can feel that My clothes are not as tight as with Persil. Overall, this is my new favorite color! I wish there were more sizes available (Persil lets you go from a trial pack of 18 downloads to huge boxes of 70+ downloads), but that's a pretty minor issue.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • old
