Purex Triple Action

Purex has always worked well for my family, so I was happy to try their new product: Purex Triple Action. Just like all of their detergents, new Purex Triple Action has been specifically formulated to work in both traditional and HE washers. Triple Action leaves your clothes white, bright, and clean and does this all for about half of the price of the leading brands! This detergent works great in my home. It has taken out every stain we’ve thrown its way (and trust me, my kids have put it to the test!). It is a detergent I will continue to keep using!

If you’d like to check out this laundry detergent,I am giving away 3 bottles! Here’s what you need to do:

Purex UltraPacks

I am always on the lookout for products that make my life easier. One household job I hate to do is laundry, so I am always ready and able to try out new laundry products.

What are the new Purex UltraPacks? They are convenient pre-dosed liquid detergent packs that make doing laundry even easier. All you have to do is put 1 pack in the washer before adding your clothing (the more time they spend in the water, the faster they dissolve). For larger or heavily soiled loads, you can use an additional pack. If you have a front loader, make sure to put the pack directly into the drum, not in the drawer. These are beyond easy to use! You don’t have to worry about spills or carrying heavy jugs anymore. Each Purex UltraPack contains 2x concentrated liquid detergent and are formulated and safe for all machines including HE machines. You can get them in either mountain breeze or free & clear.

I’ve used this on my own laundry, and it works very well. It got all of our clothes clean (even the ones my kids spilled on). I wash everything in cold (so it doesn’t shrink) which usually makes it harder for detergent to clean. The Purex Ultrapacks had no problems even with the cold water! I also have sensitive skin and had no problems with Ultrapacks either (though I can only vouch for myself on that one. Just because I didn’t break out does not mean you won’t if you have sensitive skin).

Since I liked the Purex UltraPacks, I have arranged for 3 of my lucky readers to win a some Purex Ultrapacks. Here’s what you need to do:
