For this reason, preservatives are listed amog the ingredients of Persil Sensitive Gel with the aim to protect the product and ultimately the consumer from the rise of microorganisms such as to protect bacteria, yeast and mould.

Should allergy sufferers  use less detergent than what indicated on the product pack?

No. Persil Sensitive should always be dosed according to the water hardness and the degree of soiling of the laundry following the instructions reported on pack.
