Giveaway! Purex Dryer Sheets Review and Giveaway

~I was sent this product for review.  All opinions are my own and no other compensation was given.~

I don't use dryer sheets for every load I do.  I don't use them with cloth diapers because they are a no-no and I don't usually use them with Eleanor's clothes, but I love how they make my towels smell and the subtle scent they leave on out clothes.

But I love Purex products and so when given the opportunity to try the new Purex Crystals Dryer Sheets I was on board with it.

Lavender Blossom

I didn't have to open the box these were shipped in to smell them.  Actually my first impression was that they were really strong and it turned me off a little.  Then I opened the shipping box to see that the dryer sheet box had come open and I'm sure that was the reason they had such a strong odor.

Once the laundry was dry I could still smell fragrance, but it was faint.  I might be strange, but I actually think I might use two because I kind of like that fresh smell and fragrances have never bothered me.  I'd only do this if I was just washing my clothes or towels because I'm not so sure Rob wants to go to work smelling like Lavender Blossoms.

I think that smell/scent issue aside they did what they are made to do.  My towels and shirts felt softer and I didn't have to peel them apart to fold and put them away.  I even stuffed some into my sheets when I put those away so the next time I make the bed the smell should be there and make crawling into a freshly made bed (which is one of the best feelings) so much more enjoyable.

I have two coupons to giveaway to try these new dryer sheets.

*As a purex insider I was provided with a sample in order to facilitate this review.  All opinions are my own*

A while ago I switched to wool dryer balls.  In part because I knew that dryer sheets aren't safe for cloth diapers, and in part because I felt like it would be use less energy.

Sometimes though I notice they don't reduce static and I miss the smell of the laundry after it's been bouncing around with a dryer sheet.  Rob isn't really a fan of the dryer balls anyway because they get stuck in the clothes.

So when I was given the chance to review purex's new dryer sheets I was interested. 

Before even opening the box I could smell them.

The day I got them I  was doing laundry so I put them to the test.  Sure enough they eliminated the static just like they claimed too in the bedding, the towels, and the socks (which always seems to be a trouble area)

I expected the smell to be a little bit stronger when the drying cycle was done based on how strong it was before, but I don't think that it's necessarily a bad thing.   Maybe I just like it to be stronger, but it was subtle enough to smell, but not overpower. 

I think I'll using these dryer sheets more often on our clothes.  I will still use the dryer balls for cloth diaper and some baby clothes, but for our bedding, towels and clothes they will be my go-to now. 

Purex dryer sheets can be purchased at Wal-mart and are available in sweet lavender and mountain breeze scents.
