New Purex plus Clorox 2 Detergent Review & Giveaway


Have you heard of the new Purex plus Clorox 2 detergent?  It combines the bright clean of Purex with an extra powerful boost of Clorox 2 stain fighters.

Purex plus Clorox 2 detergent contains 3 stain-fighting enzymes to remove 100 stains including chocolate, tomato sauce, grass, blood, ice cream and BBQ sauce just to name a few.  It is safe for colors, and bleach free.  It also comes in two fragrances - Original Fresh and Sunny Linen.

As a mom of six young children and owner of both a dog and a cat, I see my fair share of stains in our home and on our clothes.  Stains that I tend to see on a regular basis include sweat stains, grass stains, dirt/mud stains, spaghetti night stains, artwork (paint, colors, etc.), and grease (when David works on the car).

 C at bat

With all the rain paired with the fact that it is baseball season, I tend to be tackling grass, dirt, and/or mud every few days with C's uniform.  In the next week he has one practice and 4 games scheduled - that can be a lot of washing.  C's team motto is have fun, play hard and get dirty!

Thankfully, Purex plus Clorox 2 detergent doesn't let me down when it comes to these stains.

Here you can see one side of C's baseball pants after a game with some mud/dirt stains and a grass stain along the bottom.

 And here are his pants after being cleaned with Purex plus Clorox 2 detergent.

Other side

Stains that I tend to see on occasion but not regularly include sicknesses (vomiting) and even accidents (bed wetting and/or feline accidents as our cat ages).  Last week C was diagnosed with an ear infection and he couldn't seem to keep anything down.  E went to bed one night forgetting to put on her pull-up and woke up to a wet bed.  Molly, our cat, found a blanket on the floor and decided not to walk to the litter box.  Yes, thankfully these scenarios aren't common around here but I think many people can relate to one or all of them. 


I will spare you photos of laundry with vomit and accidents on them but I will tell you that Purex plus Clorox 2 detergent worked in these tough situations as well.  Not only did our laundry, blankets and bedding come out clean but they were smelling fresh - which in these situations sometimes is tricky.  What are your toughest stains that you deal with on a regular basis?

Here is a stain fighting tip for the week:  pre-treat tough stains by rubbing some Purex plus Clorox 2 detergent into the fabric and letting it sit for 5 minutes before washing.

New Purex PowerShot Detergent Review, Giveaway and Sweeps

Disclosure:  Thanks so much to the Purex Insiders program for allowing me to be a part of this campaign and providing information about this Sweepstakes and a sample of the New Purex Power Shot detergent for my review!  As part of this campaign I am eligible to win prizes!

New Purex PowerShot Detergent

It has been awhile since I have shared a Purex product with you but I have a new one to tell you about, Purex PowerShot.  This product is launching this month so you can start looking for it in your local stores now.  Purex PowerShot is unique for a few reasons.  It takes the guesswork out of measuring by having an automatic dispenser built into the bottle that premeasures everything for you.  Also, Purex PowerShot is a super concentrated formula with 50% more stain fighting power per drop.  You basically Flip, Dose and your are Done!

 
You use 1 flip for regular loads and 2 flips for larger or dirtier loads.  It really is that simple.

Here you can see the automatic dispenser at the top.  

 Flipping the bottle and dosing my machine

When you flip the bottle, the premeasured amount is poured out and the dispenser automatically refills itself and is ready for the next load.

Here is a closer look.

And a view of the top looking down.

 Coupons to share with friends and family.

If you know me, you just might be receiving a special coupon.  Thanks Purex for creating these coupons specifically for my friends and family.

Not only is this product easy to use, just like other Purex products it works well!  It is available in both Mountain Breeze and Natural Elements Linen and Lilies, Purex's two most popular fragrances.

Be sure to check out my video review of Purex PowerShot below.  You can see the product in action!  And check out all the latest Purex news here.

New Purex Crystals Aromatherapy Review & $10 Gift Card Giveaway


It's about that time again!  The time for me to tell you about one of the latest Purex products.  As a Purex Insider I was able to try the new Purex Crystals Aromatherapy scent infusions.  Purex Crystals Aromatherapy comes in three different scents - Well Being (fragrance of fresh blossoms), Energy (citrus) and Serenity (gentle scent of water-lilies). 

I am using the Energy scent which is great because I love citrus!

 My first load with these Crystals.

How do you use Purex Crystals Aromatherapy?  Simply add your Purex Crystals into the washer's tub at the beginning of the wash to supplement your laundry detergent.  The Crystals will permeate your clothing with an aroma that will last much longer than a few days, more like weeks!

You already know that I have six children and as a family of 8 we generate a lot of laundry.  Sometimes I feel as though our dirty laundry breeds :).  I know it doesn't but it sure feels like it.  I have been using my new Crystals for the last several weeks in at least 30 loads of laundry.

So, what do I think of them?  I really like the smell or aroma.  I thought it might be a bit strong at first when I added them to my first load but it wasn't.  The Energy variety is not overly citrus but I can smell the citrus vibe.  My clothes came out fresh and clean with a nice aroma - not overpowering but strong enough to notice.  I really like that the Purex Crystals are safe to use on towels, active wear, sleepwear, etc.  And I found the aroma to last longer as stated.  Now, I am not really sure if it lasts weeks and weeks because remember we are a household of 8 and our laundry doesn't sit around without use - we use it!  I am extra excited that these are safe on my work out gear and my towels always seem to need extra refreshing so this is perfect.

Ready for a quick giveaway?  I was given 3 free product coupons for Purex Crystals Aromatherapy to give out.  However, since their expiration is 11/31/14, I decided to give those to friends and I am giving a $10 gift card to one of you to try Purex Crystals Aromatherapy for yourself!  Winner's choice of Walmart or Target gift card.  All you have to do is enter the form below.  Good luck!

Purex Crystals Review & Giveaway


You all know my love of Purex.  I have been a long time member of the Purex Insiders program and I really cannot say enough good things about it.  Not only do I get to try and experience their products and get entered to win awesome, one-of-a-kind prizes but I have found a community there and friends!  In this latest campaign I was given the opportunity to try the Purex Crystals in the newest fragrance - Fresh Mountain Breeze. 

 
 My Purex Crystals

Yes, you can escape your laundry room and take a trip to the mountains!  Can you smell the flowers, hear the birds singing and see the sun rising?  I sure can!  Regardless if you can or can't, I think these crystals will help put a smile on your face when your clothes are nothing but fresh.

I don't know about your weather but here in Texas it has been a little sporadic the last few weeks.  One day we can have snow/ice and the next it can be 75 degrees and running weather!

Like the day A made Snowy the Snowman.

 A few days later

And then the kids and I went on a walk, run, riding scooters and tricycle outing (in short sleeves).  So not only have I had a lot of laundry to do lately but a variety as well.  Purex Crystals have not only eliminated odor but have also freshened our laundry - all of it.  Am I a fan?  Absolutely!

After using Purex Crystals you may notice:
 - clothes smell fresh for weeks, not days
 - the absorbency of towels is not reduced and
 - this natural formula is safe for both your family and the environment

Purex Crystals at my local Walmart

You may be wondering, where are the Purex Crystals located in the store.  They are located in the fabric softener aisle at Walmart. 

Ready for a giveaway?  Three readers will each win a coupon for a FREE 28oz bottle of Purex Crystals Fresh Mountain Breeze (Maximum value $6.00 and expiration 6/30/14).  Just enter below and good luck!

Wisk Deep Clean Mission

I was on another mission from smiley360, this time the Wisk Deep Clean Mission.


Experience a deeper clean in your laundry with Wisk Deep Clean.  Wisk Deep Clean is designed to clean beyond visible stains, attacking trapped body oils and sweat. Body oils and sweat are the #1 soil in your laundry and can stay trapped in your clothes, even after washing.  Wisk Deep Clean penetrates deep inside the fabric, cleaning beyond visible stains, to seek out and attack trapped body oils and sweat.

Using my sample

What did I think?  I thought it worked well.  My clothes came out clean and they smelled nice.  And bottom line, if this doesn't happen - I am not going to use or recommend that product.  What about you?  Have you tried the new Wisk Deep Clean?  If so, I would love to hear what you thought.

To find out more about this mission or to obtain a $1.00 coupon, go here!  Or to find out more about smiley360 and join go here.

Disclosure: For the following mission I received Wisk Deep Clean Sample packs to use and to pass out to my friends.  All opinions expressed are 100% my own.

New Purex Triple Action UltraPacks: My Review

Purex is at it again!  This time with the New Triple Action UltraPacks.  No more mess.  No more spills.  No more heavy jugs.  It's Laundry Simplified.

So, what are Purex UltraPacks?  They are convenient pre-dosed liquid detergent packs that make doing laundry easier than ever.  The Purex team managed to squeeze all the performance of their new Triple Action liquid (which I reviewed here) into just one powerful pack.  Each of the UltraPacks contain powerful 2x concentrated liquid laundry detergent, giving each pack double the cleaning power in every drop.  The packs dissolve quickly, even in cold water.  And again, as with the other Purex products, they are safe for all machines!  These UltraPacks are available in both Mountain Breeze and Free & Clear.

 What the Mountain Breeze UltraPacks look like.

I have been using the Free & Clear version and love them.  You just drop the pack in the washer, start the washer, add the clothes and done.  That is until the dryer is needed :)

 The UltraPacks I received.

 What a Free & Clear UltraPack looks like.  Note: This product works best when your hands are dry.

Starting the wash

My clothes are coming out clean and fresh indeed.  In fact, these are so easy to use I decided to let A have a go at doing a load of laundry (with supervision of course, but she DID everything on HER own!).  Want to see how it went?  Check out the video below and then let me know what you think.



Disclosure: Purex provided a free sample of their Triple Action Free & Clear UltraPacks so I could write a review (through the Purex Insiders Program).  However, all of the opinions expressed here are 100% my own.
