Purex Complete Crystals Softener


I am a Purex Insider and recently received a sample of the Purex Complete Crystals Softener.  I was eager to try these because they are so different than the traditional liquid fabric softeners we're all accustom to using.  Of course I never got the opportunity to try the sample I received.  Would you like to know why I never got to use the sample I received? I'll tell you why.  They somehow got dumped onto the floor.  The persons responsible for the dumped softener got off the hook *this* time, only because the vacuumed up crystals made my vacuum smell good!  I won't mention any names, they know who they are!  Ahem.  Thankfully the sample also came with a coupon for a free bottle.  Off to Walmart to get the crystals I was so looking forward to trying.  As it figured, my local Walmart didn't have them in stock yet.  A few days later I spotted them on the shelf but I didn't have my coupon with me.  Meh.  Finally.  FINALLY, I got the crystals and couldn't wait to get home to do a load of laundry.  When was the last time you were eager to do a load of laundry?  lol
I have the Lavender Blossom scent and I love it.  It's quite strong, though, so I'm finding that I prefer to use 1/2 of the recommended amount.  And to me that's not a bad thing - it means my crystals will last twice as long!  I am thrilled that since using the crystals I haven't gotten any of those unsightly oil spots on our clothes, like liquid fabrics softeners often leave behind.  I also love that with using the crystals there is no thick build up to clean out of the softener dispenser.  I was very interested to see how our towels would turn out after being washed with the crystals.  Specifically we have a few towels I stopped using because they just weren't absorbent anymore.  I wasn't aware the the oils in liquid softeners can be the cause of that.  So the end result was that our towels came out soft and absorbent!  And they smelled so fresh.  No more stinky towels!

Best of all, Purex Crystals are 92% Natural!!




Purex® Complete Crystals Softener FACT SHEET


WHAT IT IS > UNIQUE CRYSTAL FORM, 92% NATURAL FABRIC SOFTENER
Introducing Purex® Complete Crystals Softener*; a purer way to get laundry that  
smells clean and fresh for weeks. 92% natural, this product’s unique crystal form works differently than traditional oil-based softeners that coat fabrics with oily residue, because it infuses fibers with long-lasting fragrance. In addition, since you add it directly with your laundry, this means no more waiting for the rinse cycle, no messy residual gunk in your washing machine, and no more stains from spilling liquid fabric softener.

HOW IT’S USED > ADDED WITH LAUNDRY AT THE START OF THE WASH CYCLE
Why struggle with plastic fabric softener balls, risk staining your clothes or waste time 
waiting for the rinse cycle? Simply add Purex Complete Crystals Softener directly with your laundry at the beginning of every wash cycle to infuse fabrics with long lasting freshness.

HOW IT WORKS > CRYSTALS DISSOLVE INFUSING FABRICS WITH FRESHNESS
Laundry scent lovers will perk up as freshness is infused into clothes with this new fabric
softener. Over time, traditional oil-based softeners coat fibers causing harmful oily residue to accumulate. Purex Complete Crystals Softeners penetrate fabrics to reduce fiber entanglement and smooth frayed fibers providing a naturally soft feel.

WHY IT’S DIFFERENT > SAFE FOR ALL LAUNDRY AND BETTER FOR FABRICS
Do ALL of your laundry—worry free! Purex Complete Crystals Softeners are safe for all laundry and will not harm, wear down or discolor your fabrics like oil-based softeners. Safe for all fabrics, including baby clothes, athletic wear, towels, and whites. Unlike other softeners, Crystals WILL:

• Preserve the flame retardant benefits of your children’s clothes
• Retain your athletic wear’s wicking ability which draws sweat away from your body
• Maintain your towels’ built-in ability to absorb water
• Keep your white clothing from yellowing and graying vs. using traditional softeners
The product won’t harm your clothes and is safe and convenient for the entire family!
