FT may seem incredible, but the millions of oxygen bubbles released by Persil in the washing water actually remove more dirt from clothes than would hours of hard washboard rubbing. The gentleness
of these bubbles saves the clothes no rubbing, no wear. Yet they clean thoroughly and Purify, Persil has valuable germ-destroying powers. You can do the whole washing
