Persil (/ˈpɜːrsɪl/, German pronunciation: [pɛʁˈziːl]) is a German brand of laundry detergent manufactured and marketed by Henkel around the world except in the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Latin America (except Mexico), China, Australia and New Zealand, where it is manufactured and marketed by Unilever. Persil was introduced in 1907 by Henkel. It was the first commercially available laundry detergent that combined bleach with the detergent.[1] The name was derived from two of its original ingredients, sodium perborate and sodium silicate.[1]
