Coming soon... The Persil Cleaner Planet Plan.
Our new Cleaner Planet Plan site is now up and running.
The Cleaner Planet Plan is about reducing the impact of our products on the
environment - so they're not only great at cleaning, but also tread a little lighter on the planet.
That's why we've concentrated our liquids and powders, saving both energy and packaging.
We promise to do our bit - and you can help make an even bigger difference by doing some of these simple things...
Visit the Cleaner Planet Plan site now.
Save Energy
Try washing at low temperatures as often as you can. You can get brilliant
cleaning from as low as 15°C. Even at 30°C you can save up to 40% on energy and cut your electricity bill too.
Reduce Packaging Waste
Concentrated products use less packaging. This is why we have concentrated our powders and liquids. For example, Persil Small & Mighty can use over 60% less packaging than normal Persil liquids. Wherever possible, recycle used packs.
Save Water
We recommend you always wash with a full load. Also, thanks to Persil's great formula there's no need to pre-wash. Doing this will save water and reduce your utility bills.
Dose Correctly
By using the right dose in each wash, you'll save unnecessary detergent and money at the same time. So make sure you check the pack for instructions before your wash.

tumble dryer is a great way to reduce your emissions, and can save you up to £70 a year
