Participating cities include Stamford, CT (home of Persil ProClean headquarters), Minneapolis and Chicago. ”The Professional” actors will also hand out over 1 million samples in mass transit stations in New York, Chicago, Minneapolis and San Francisco
“With 100+ million viewers watching the game on February 4, we can’t think of a better time for “The Professional” to showcase the stain-fighting power of Persil,” said Katerina Moragianis, Marketing Director of Persil Laundry Detergent in the United States. “With the Super Bowl® being a big day for food stains, what’s needed is a laundry detergent that provides a premium clean. Persil can go the distance to help tackle game day stains.”
