Remove Stains With Purex Plus Clorox 2 Detergent! @Purex #SocialInsiders #Giveaway #Ad

    Now that basketball season has arrived, I am going to be up to my elbows in dirty uniforms and other sports related laundry.  It can be pretty difficult to remove some of those tough stains which is why I am glad to have the help of New Purex Plus Clorox 2 detergent.  Not only does it work on 100 stains, but it is also safe for colors, and bleach free.     This is big news because my son's uniform is navy blue and white so I always have to stay away from bleach products when I am destaining it.  It's available in two fragrances: Original Fresh and Sunny Linen!  I really love the idea of being able to remove stains from all our clothes that will also smell fresh and clean, at the same time.     Purex plus Clorox 2 detergent contains 3 stain-fighting enzymes to remove 100 stains such as: Starchy stains like chocolate and tomato sauce.

Teaching Kids How To Do Laundry With The Purex PowerShot! #PurexInsiders #Giveaway @Purex #Ad

    I've always been a firm believer in empowering my children to be independent.  This has been due to the fact that I want them to be self-sufficient in the future and because I am a full-time Working Mom so everyone has to contribute to the household chores.  Although I always do the bulk of the laundry, I have been teaching my older son how to load the washing machine and the dryer in order to wash his school uniforms on a weekly basis.     One of the greatest challenges of teaching him how to wash and dry clothes has been helping him to gauge how much detergent to pour out depending on the amount of clothing that he is washing.  I've noticed that he sometimes uses too much because I see suds in the machine even after the load is done washing.  Recently, I have figured out the solution to this problem since Purex PowerShot detergent does the measuring for you!     New Purex PowerShot detergent makes our lives more simple because it takes the guesswork out of our laundry routine … [Read more...]

The Laundry Rules Have Changed! @Purex #PurexInsiders #Giveaway #Ad

*This post was written by me on behalf of Purex as a Purex Insider. I received complimentary product samples to facilitate this review. All opinions are 100% mine.        When my sister and I were kids, our mother taught us how to do everything around the house including cleaning, cooking, and doing the laundry.  Although she encouraged us to have careers and be independent, she stressed that these domestic skills would also be important for being able to take care of our homes and our families.  The fine art of doing laundry had many rules and one of them was that clothes had to be sorted according to their color.     I can still recall the time that we tried to help Mom and put a load of our family's clothes in the washing machine to help her out since we knew she would be tired from her job at the greeting card store.  Unfortunately, although we thought we had carefully sorted the clothes, a red sock somehow crept into our load of whites. Much to our mother's chagrin, all of … [Read more...]
