Clean it Monday : Purex Complete Crystals Softener Review & Giveaway

February 21, 2011 By Melanie Roberts


Have you heard of the new Laundry Softener from Purex? It’s unlike anything else you have seen. At first when I was send a sample of the Fabric softener, I thought they had send me the wrong product. It was a cute little bottle with lots of crystals in it. I read the instructions a few times before it hit me that this little bottle wasn’t a “Spa set for me”. So once I figured out, that these little crystals are actually fabric softener, I was excited and still a little skeptical. I know we all love bath crystals and if I ever have time for a nice, hot bubble bath, they are a must have in the tub for me. However they also leave a grainy sandy bottom on the bathtub behind, after they did what they were suppose to do.

I started thinking, what if I put these in my front loader and then I have sandy tinny rocks left in there and if I do that 5-10 times a week, will I accumulate enough rocks in my washer to build my toddler a sand castle?? I was worried, my washing machine is a well liked and well respected employee in our house, there is no way we can mess her up. She is priceless, so we have to be very gentle and kind to our washing machine ( well, that’s my way of saying it’s not a cheap appliance, don’t mess it up..lol).
Before I started using the Crystals in my washer I did a little experimenting. I took some water in a glass and added some crystals, just to see, will they really smell as good as the bottle when I open it, what happens to the crystals? and will my biggest fear become reality all the rocks on the bottom once the smelly stuff disappears??

To my surprise it was a great experiment. The Crystals started to dissolve almost instantly, leaving the water smelling wonderful. I only put a very tiny amount of crystals into my glass of water and the smell was very strong. I loved it, my water of course turned from clear to cloudy, that was expected, and just what it suppose to do. Now the big test,,, are the crystals left on the bottom……??? Nope.. they are ALL dissolved. No grainy residue left at all. I was very pleased with this experiment and ready to start my first load of laundry….
Once the first load came out, it smelled wonderful, we LOVE the new Purex Complete Crystals Softener, and from now on I don’t think I wanna use anything else.
Here is some information for you about the Crystals so you get an idea what they are and what they do.

WHAT IS PUREX Complete Crystals Softener?
UNIQUE CRYSTAL FORM, 92% NATURAL FABRIC SOFTENER
Introducing Purex® Complete Crystals SoftenerTM*; a purer way to get laundry that
smells clean and fresh for weeks. 92% natural, this product’s unique crystal form works
differently than traditional oil-based softeners that coat fabrics with oily residue, because
it infuses fibers with long-lasting fragrance. In addition, since you add it directly with your
laundry, this means no more waiting for the rinse cycle, no messy residual gunk in your
washing machine, and no more stains from spilling liquid fabric softener.
How do you use it?
ADDED WITH LAUNDRY AT THE START OF THE WASH CYCLE
Why struggle with plastic fabric softener balls, risk staining your clothes or waste time
waiting for the rinse cycle? Simply add Purex Complete Crystals Softener directly with
your laundry at the beginning of every wash cycle to infuse fabrics with long lasting
freshness.

How does it work?
CRYSTALS DISSOLVE INFUSING FABRICS WITH FRESHNESS
Laundry scent lovers will perk up as freshness is infused into clothes with this new fabric
softener. Over time, traditional oil-based softeners coat fibers causing harmful oily
residue to accumulate. Purex Complete Crystals Softeners penetrate fabrics to reduce
fiber entanglement and smooth frayed fibers providing a naturally soft feel.

What makes this softenere different and better?
SAFE FOR ALL LAUNDRY AND BETTER FOR FABRICS
Do ALL of your laundry—worry free! Purex Complete Crystals Softeners are safe for
all laundry and will not harm, wear down or discolor your fabrics like oil-based softeners.
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
  • The product won’t harm your clothes and is safe and convenient for the entire family!
You can find these new Purex Complete Crystals Softeners at any of your local retailers and will be priced between $3.99 – $5.99, for more information go check out Purex.com.

3 of my readers can get a chance to win a Bottle of the new Purex Complete Crystals Softener and try it themselves and see if they like it as much as we did. So enter and see if you are one the lucky 3’s to win a Bottle of Purex Complete Crystals Softener.

    I love that you add them to the beggining of the wash, they have more time to make the clothes smell fresh.
