As a member of Purex Insiders, I was lucky to receive a box from them today with a sample of their new Purex Complete Crystals. I was actually double lucky- first because they sent it to me, and second because it managed to make it's way here even after the delivery man had some minor confusion on which house he should pick to deliver to.

Now, I will be the first to admit, doing laundry isn't my favorite chore. And with storms that came through last night leaving most homes in our area with "basement swimming pools" I had been hoping to avoid spending time in my now damn (but standing water-less) basement. But.. with sample in hand, and a pile of clothes begging to be washed- I headed down.

Before I get into the details of my adventure in laundry today- I want to mention a few facts from Purex about their Complete Crystals:

Purex Complete Crystals Softeners are 92% natural, and are not oil-based like most liquid softeners.

Purex Complete Crystals is the FIRST major fabric softener that is 100% safe to use on children's sleepwear as it does not impair their flame retardant qualities.

Purex Complete Crystals does not inhibit wicking fabrics, making it safe to use on all of your active and athletic wear.


Now, as much as I love all the facts- I'm going to admit, I want great smelling, soft clothes at a good price. Which brings me back to my Purex Crystals Experience.

There it was, a pile of clothes pulled out from under beds, inside desk drawers, on top of dressers and behind doors in my boys' room, with the wicked smell of 12 year old sweaty feet in one hand and my sample of Purex Complete Crystals in the other. The bottle showed small lines to tell me how much to use per load. I had to wonder if the small amount would handle just a stinky task. The instructions said to add it in the load at the start of the load, rather than waiting just for the rinse cycle, so I did.

The scent of the Purex Complete Crystals, wasn't overwhelming. It was fresh, soft and certainly a welcomed smell. I ran the load as I normally do, except without having to add in softener in the middle of washing- reducing the need for me to make that extra run downstairs. The biggest discovery came when I finally pulled them out of the dryer- the very first thing you notice is the light, clean smell. It's not over-perfumed, or chemically- you can definitely smell the difference but it doesn't have that "a bit too much" smell to it that has previously left my boys complaining that they smell like a flower shop. After getting past the new refreshing scent... I pulled them out. They were soft, (which is a major issue as we have hard water here) but they didn't have a heavy oil feel to them that sometimes takes away from "just washed, clean feeling" laundry should have.

I am going to admit, I love it. Maybe a little too much, because after tossing another load into the washer and adding in my Purex Complete Crystals, I ran down to Rite Aid and picked up the last two Lavender Blossom bottles. Sadly, our Rite-Aid was out of the other two scents: Fresh Spring Waters and Tropical Splash, but I will certainly be picking some up as soon as they are back in stock. 

Now, here's the deal for you all. First, as most of you know- Purex is a great brand, AND always a great value. But right now, you can get a even better value on them.
