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.

GIVEAWAY TIME:

I have two coupons to giveaway to try these new dryer sheets. I'm going to make this one easy and all you have to do is leave me a comment (and your email address) answering the following question.  What is your favorite non traditional way to use dryer sheets?  For example, I've used them along the baseboards to repel dust. 

Giveaway will end at 11:59 pm on 5/8/14 and is open to US only.  Winners will have 48 hours to respons. 

Purex Make-A-Wish & Win!

I've been a fan of Purex for a long time.  If you look in my laundry room (which I'm hoping you don't because it's in the basement and has been a little neglected; that means some cobwebs are hanging around), you will see many Purex products.  I use the baby detergent for Eleanor's clothes, the free and clear version for ours & dryer sheets for our bedding and towels.  I also have a few other stain fighting products as well.

If you are local to a Meijer store it's on sale this week!

I was given the chance to try the Mountain Breeze scent recently.  Now I mentioned that I normally use the free and clear version so that if I need to I can throw Eleanor's things in with ours, but I do love the smell of a clean batch of laundry.  I know I've also mentioned before that I actually don't mind laundry (dishes are another story).

Clean laundry!

I used this on a load of Rob & I's clothes and it was a nice change to have clothes that smelled fresh and clean. I didn't feel as if it was to over powering as some scents can be.

Purex dryer sheets #giveaway #sponsored

*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.
