No Sort? No Problem With Purex No Sort For Colors Laundry Detergent + GIVEAWAY

Apr 10

To do this day laundry remains one of the most monotonous and not so popular household chores. Don’t get me wrong, there are many other things that I enjoy doing less around here. These include dusting, cleaning out globs of hair from the drain, and scrubbing dog vomit out of the living room carpet. I suppose it really could be worse. I used to actually take pleasure in doing laundry when I could get by with one load a week. Since I became a mommy this number changed drastically and that one load increased to 3 or 4 for the past 5 years.

Purex Baby Liquid Detergent Review and Giveaway #PurexBaby

Dec 22

When Toodie was a baby it felt like every other day I was doing a new load of laundry. From messy throw up moments to leaky diapers, there was always a hamper full of dirty linens that needed a thorough cleaning. At the time, Toodie had a very mild case of eczema and very sensitive skin to go along with it. I had to be careful what kind of laundry detergent I used to wash her bedding and clothing. This meant purchasing a mild soap that would not irritate her skin. Even though I used a leading brand sold in most stores, I always found that it never did a very good job of getting the stains out completely. I also thought it was my only option. But today, there is a better alternative on the market.

Purex Baby laundry detergent is dermatologist tested and guarantees the removal of stubborn stains without hurting your delicate clothing. It also specially formulated to be gentle on your little one’s sensitive skin. Like all Purex detergents, it is suitable for all washing machines from high efficiency to your traditional top loaders. Something that stood out to me about this detergent is that it will not affect any flame resistant clothing that you may have for your child. It is made to keep them smelling fresh, clean, and comfortable on your child’s skin. I have been using Purex Baby for a week now and am pleased with the results. Using it mostly for my toddler’s clothing, each time I remove them from the dryer a cloud of freshness greets me. The scent alone is incredible and I have even begun washing my own sheets with this! Stains that I thought would never come out, disappeared within one wash. Every parent could benefit from using Purex Baby whether you have a child with sensitive skin, allergies, or are just looking for a wonderful smelling detergent for the family.

Simplifying Laundry: All® Mighty Pacs Review

Jul 20

This week I had the opportunity to try the new all mighty pacs containing a super concentrated laundry detergent. Smiley360 has provided me with a bag containing enough all® mighty pacs for 24 loads! Seems like a lot at first but being a mom, I am constantly doing laundry. Let’s not fail to mention I am a mom to a little girl. A little girl who owns more clothing than anyone I know! Therefore, laundry is not one of those chores I ever get a break from.

The all mighty pacs are my kind of laundry detergent. There is no mess, no spills, and no wiping up any excess detergent dripping from a cap. The all mighty pacs come in convenient little packets and are filled with the pre-measured amount of laundry detergent needed for one load. Not only does this keep the chore of laundry clean and quick, it also simplifies the process. One regular load takes 1 mighty pac while heavier loads may take 2. All you have to do is place the all mighty pac at the bottom of your washer and add the items in to be washed. These nifty packets contain a high concentrated liquid laundry detergent that dissolves once hot or cold water is added. It contains active stain lifters that help get your clothing clean and smelling fresh.

I have to wonder, where have the all mighty pacs been all my life? I am sure I am not the only person out there that hates using the giant, heavy, bulky laundry detergent containers. They are just plain annoying! You pour your solution in the cap and no matter how “careful” you try to be, there always ends up being a puddle left behind. With all mighty pacs, this will never be an issue! It’s smooth sailing… well, washing.. from here. The all mighty pacs also come in a plastic bag with a zip seal making storage simple. These are available in orginal and also free clear which if you are not aware, does not contain any dyes or fragrance. For those with allergies or sensitive noses, I recommend the free clear formula.

I also want to add, after reading a few reviews about the all mighty pacs I noticed that there were concerns regarding the packets dissolving completely during the wash. After washing three heavy loads, with two all mighty pacs each, I did not experience any issues. I do suggest for a fuller load to space out the pacs. For example, I put one all mighty pac on the bottom of the washing machine and one in the middle of the laundry that I am washing. This will help evenly distribute the detergent and get all items clean without having the soap clump up into one section. It all depends on your washing technique and your machine.
