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.
