March Giveaways Week 3: Purex Crystals

March Giveaways Week 3: Purex Crystals Softener
3 Readers Will Win!


This week I am hosting a special giveaway.  If you have been following the blog, you know that I was recently selected to be a Purex Insider. This is very exciting to me. It allows me to try new products.. and even better, gift them to those of you that win my giveaways! This week, 3 of you will win!

This past week, I tried the new Purex Crystals Softeners.  You can go HERE for the official information on this product.  Take a moment and check it out!

This is what's neato about the Purex Crystals vs other softeners:
  • They are in a solid, crystals, form.. SO, if and when your kids get ahold of them or knock them over, there's no nasty spill to clean up. Which is also what I like about the Purex 3 in 1 sheets...
  • They are 92% natural and not oil based like other liquid softeners. Oil left by other products decrease absorbency of fabrics like towels. Also, oil buildup on your clothes over time can discolor them.  Purex Crystals do not do either.
  • ALSO, a big point for me is that Crystals Softeners do NOT interfere with the flame retardant qualities of your kids' sleep wear.
There are many more neat features that I have never thought to consider when buying a softener. Check out the link I posted above to learn more.

BUT, what did I really think about them? I liked them. They were convenient, easy to use, and they really had a lasting scent days after using them.  Also, I loved being able to try them for free! :)

However, the scent I was given was the Fresh Spring Waters scent.  I don't think I would seek that particular scent out again in the future. It just wasn't my thing.

Lucky for 3 of you, you can pick your favorite scent out for yourself when you win a voucher coupon from me for FREE 28oz size bottle of Purex Complete Crystals Softener!  I really liked this product and think you will too when you try it for yourself!

  9. I like softeners because of what they do, but I have to be careful of the scents because of my husband's allergies... do these leave a strong scent?

  10. That is a trick question of sorts, Crystal. I wore a shirt yesterday that I had washed with the crystals a week ago. All day, I would raise my arm for something and go "MMM! Something smells nice" and realize it was my shirt! The scent has really grown on me.

    You can definitely tell a week later which clothes you washed with the crystals and which clothes you washed without them. The scent is not overwhelming. I have allergies and sensitive skin and I am fine with it. It even smells sort of like a spice I can't put my finger on at the moment.

    They do have a few scent choices. AND I am privvy to information that they are listening to their consumers and developing some Free And Clear type products right now. I don't know if this will extend to the crystals or not.

    To answer your question: They leave a definite scent for a nice long time. It is not strong or overpowering. My husband's deodorant is stronger, in my opinion. (He uses Old Spice) I might wash a couple of your husband's items with the crystals and wait a couple days before having him wear them. Just as a trial type thing.
