Purex Complete Crystals Softener Review (& Giveaway Ends 2/4)

ABOUT:

Purex just introduced a new and purer method to get laundry smelling clean and fresh for weeks.  New Purex Complete Crystals Softener is 92% natural and comes in a unique crystal form that works differently than traditional oil-based softeners.  It actually infuses fibers with long-lasting fragrance rather than coats them, no residue is left behind.  There is also no waiting for the rinse cycle, stains from spilling liquid softeners or gunk left behind in the washing machine, because you add Purex Complete directly with your laundry as its filling with water initially.

Purex Complete Crystals Softeners are safe for all laundry and will not harm, wear down or discolor your fabrics like oil-based softeners.  It is safe for all fabrics including baby clothes, athletic wear, towels, and whites.

Unlike other softeners, Crystals will:

• Preserve the flame retardant benefits of your children’s clothes
• Retain your athletic wear’s wicking ability, which draws sweat away from your body.
• Maintain your towels’ built-in ability to absorb water.
• Keep your white clothing from yellowing and graying vs. using traditional softeners.

Available in three on-trend fragrances:  Fresh Spring Waters, Lavender Blossom and Tropical Splash.

MY THOUGHTS:

I admit I don’t use fabric softener regularly, mainly because I never really noticed a difference and I had too many oily stains left on clothes from the liquid or fabric sheet softeners – I have tried both.  Since I was getting a chance to try out the new Purex Complete Crystals Softeners, I didn’t think too much about it but tried it.  First it was so weird because it is crystals that you directly to the washer when you add your detergent – no special ball, waiting for the rinse cycle or tossing it in the dryer.

After doing a load with Purex Crystals I forgot about it for a day in my washing machine so I expected it to have that funk smell of sitting too long, it didn’t!  The clothes smelled so good and after I took them out of the dryer they were so soft and the smell was actually still on the clothes.  The smell is amazing!  I am now hooked and love that my clothes and son’s clothes smell fresh and are so soft!  I can’t remember the last time our clothes actually had a nice smell – which is the whole reason I stopped using fabric softener to begin with.  I am definitely impressed and can’t wait to try the all the other fragrances!
