Purex Powershot one Dose Review

 I was given the opportunity to try  the NEW Purex Powershot laundry detergent and write a review of my thoughts on the product.  The opinions here are expressed in this review are solely my thoughts and are not wavered in anyway because I received a product from Purex.

As far as this product being easy to use I would love to say YES, however the first time I went to use the one dose I decided to use a cup to make sure that it worked properly.  I was so disappointed to discover that the entire bottle dumped and the measuring system did not work for me.  I still continued to use the product and as usual I loved the way it cleaned my clothes and the way it cleaned.

Once I got to the bottom of the bottle I couldn't get the rest of the detergent out and even though I added water to the bottle, still there was the last little bit that wouldn't come out.I don't like to waste and I know with any detergent you have a little residue left in the bottle so I rinse the bottle to get  every last drop out.  That is where I really did love the clear bottle because it actually shows you how much if anything is left in there.

Luckily for me I have a handsome, strong 16 year old that figured out that you can in fact twist the lid off and open the bottle to get all the remainder out.  Once I got the lid off, I discovered that there was a floating plastic piece in my bottle.  At that point I discovered that my piece had broken off and that was why my bottle did not do the proper measuring that it is suppose to do.  While I was very disappointed, I was also relieved because now I know that it is not a false advertising but in fact that most likely in shipping my bottle was damaged.

So now the big question is will I try this again?  No DOUBT, I loved the concept and it is really much easier when you are trying to teach your younger Children to do laundry.  Even as Adults we tend to use more detergent than recommended or necessary and this alleviates all of that.  Purex makes a great product and I will be trying another bottle in hopes that this bottle is not damaged and I can get the correct amounts as needed.  I also recommend anyone and everyone to try this new dosing bottle and you just may see where you are actually using more than necessary yourself.

Purex Crystrals Review

Disclaimer: I received a free sample of the Purex Crystals to try out for myself and to give my opinion of the product.  However the statement below is 100% mine and is not forced upon me by any means.  What I have written are my words and not someone else unless other wise stated I.E. my family expressed their thoughts on the products.

 

First let me tell you that I am a huge fan of Purex.  I love the detergent, the scent boosters, and even the Fabric softener sheets.  Purex hasn't failed me yet and after having seen everything they have out, I tend to ask myself can they really out do themselves?  Well, yes they can and they have!

Purex has now come out with Purex Crystals Aromatherapy blends, and I can't say enough about them.  As usual the price is right, they smell great, and make even my kids stinky socks nose worthy.  I was given the Energy blend and everyone in my house thinks I have done something different but they just don't know what.  Truth is, I really haven't done anything different but Purex has.  

The new scents are:

Well Being brightens any mood with the happy fragrance of fresh blossoms
Energy helps you tackle any day with the stimulating power of citrus
Serenity keeps you calm all day long with the gentle scent of water-lilies

Can you imagine having something to wash your laundry with that would actually give you little boost of energy, give you the calming effect for the day, or make you just feel happy for the day?  I asked myself how do I know which boost to use?  Maybe I don't want energy that day but I need the Well Being or Serenity.  Honestly, I couldn't answer that question but I do know that any of the three would be great pretty much anytime.  Now that being said, I want the Serenity in my bed sheets just for the obviousness of the relaxing spirit it would bring, or maybe the Well Being,but definitely NOT the Energy.  When I go to bed I tend to want to sleep, although that seems to be the time I think about other things that I didn't get done that day or what I have to get done tomorrow.

Now, there are other uses for the boosters besides just using them in your laundry.  These are not things that Purex has said you can use them for so I say try at your own risk but I myself have tried them with no problems.  One use is you can put some in a sheer bag and place pretty much anywhere.  In your closet, in your drawers, or just place randomly throughout your house.  It just gives a wonderful scent to everything and nothing smells better to me than clean laundry.  If you have pets or small children you do want to keep these where they can not get them and/or eat them. I have also placed them in cabinets where I keep older books so that I don't smell the old paper but the sweet aroma of the Purex crystals.  I wouldn't recommend using them around any food products, especially any food products that are exposed (onion, apples, etc)
