Purex UltraPacks {Review}

Look! Its another Purex Product Review. The reason I say this is because I just posted about the Purex Triple Action Detergent yesterday, But its all good because as I mentioned before, I am a huge fan of Purex. Also being a member of the Purex Insiders program, this was made possible. Anyway today I am posting about New Purex UltraPacks. This is the best idea yet, that Purex has came out with. These little UltraPacks are a very clever idea. They are premeasured, making life easier, because they are mess free! You know how no matter how hard you try to not spill liquid detergent it still ends up in places its not suppose to? And then when you are using the powder detergent it always seems to get everywhere, especially when you have a little bit left in the box and knock it on the floor. (Yup, been there, done that!) These wonderful additions to my family have been so easy to use. My kids even like helping with the laundry now, because they just toss it in, and then put the clothes in the washer. Here is another good thing, you can use these with cold water, and ANY type of washing machine. Again, Purex makes it easy on us so we don't have to look for a certain type of detergent for our washers.

Soon all of you that want to try these great inventions will be able to. Purex is launching this product in February. So make sure you check your favorite retailers shelves then to try them out.

How to Use

1) Dry your hands before handling the UltraPacks – (water dissolves the film).
2) Put the packs in the washer before adding clothing (the more time they spend in the water, the faster they dissolve).
3) If you have a front loader, make sure to put the pack directly into the drum, not in the drawer. 

See! Look how easy they are to use! I would recommend these for everyone that does laundry!

Purex Triple Action Detergent {Review}

I was recently sent a full size bottle of the New Purex Triple Action Laundry Detergent, as being part of the Purex Insiders program. I have always been a huge fan of Purex, and with each new product they produce, the happier I am when doing my laundry!

When my package arrived, I opened it, and then I opened the bottle of Purex. I just love to smell laundry soaps, and this one smelled very nice. Mountain Breeze is the name of this one, and it had a nice clean smell, but not too overpowering, which is what I like. Here is the best part of this fabulous detergent. Its made for ALL washing machines. Old, and new, you can use this detergent with whatever type of washer you own. Very cool. It really stinks when you are looking for a detergent come to find out, its not compatible with your washer. See, do the "happy dance" now, because you won't run into that problem with this one.

I have 2 kids, who are 10 and 7, that LOVE playing outside and getting dirty. I put Purex Triple Action Laundry Detergent to the test, and that being said I really did. Since the weather has been really weird for this time of year, my kids have got to play outside and get really dirty and muddy. And every time this has happened, I've used the Purex and their clothes have came out clean and stainless. No use of pretreatments, I just put them right into the washer and BAM! The clothes were clean, and no one could tell they were covered in mud.
This detergent comes in many different scents as well as all their other products do.
