FYI I bought Persil liquid detergent upon recommendation. I actually like a scented laundry detergent, but this is way overpowering with what smells like cheap perfume. It lingers forever in clothes it seems. I have even tried using half and half of non-scented detergent, and it still overpowers. If you are washing work clothes that smell of kerosene or some such thing, this might be the perfect detergent, but not for quilts for sure.
