Laundry Detergent: Not the sexiest blog topic but mommies, we can't live without it can we? (Stay with me, yes this is about laundry, but there is FABULOUS PRIZE attached!)

I tend to gravitate toward brands that I like. I don't enjoy collecting the dirties and loading them in and switching them from one machine to another, but I have to admit I love it having fresh clothes that are warm from the dryer smelling good.
But not too good. I don't usually go for detergents with heavy perfumes or scents. So I stick with Tide free for the soap and various Downy fabric softeners in multiple fragrances. To my taste, none are very overpowering, but still leave your dainties fresh.

I recently had the chance to try out some new Procter and Gamble Pure Essentials products: Tide, Downy, and Bounce Pure Essentials. Pure Essentials is made with Baking Soda (Tide), Aloe Vera (Downy/Bounce) and comes in two fresh scents – White Lilac and Lemon Verbena with Citrus Extracts.

I have to admit the scent was strong going in but just right coming out. The Lemon Verbena was glorious, but I'm partial to lemon myself. I prefer liquid fabric softeners but usually keep a box of dryer sheets on hand just in case I space out and run out or need something to stick in the kid's closet to freshen things up.

I was perfectly pleased with Pure Essentials. They retained the high quality product yet enhanced it with the new ingredients. I used them to wash all my beddings and I can't think of any reward better than collapsing into clean soft sheets at the end of a hard day. I was not disappointed.

Want to try some? WIN IT! Procter and Gamble is giving away the following prize basket:

The contents of the basket are the following:

* 50 oz. Tide Pure Essentials
* 44 oz. Downy Pure Essentials
* 70 Sheet Bounce Pure Essentials
* 27 oz.Febreze Fabric Refresher
* Wicker Basket
* Bath Towel





Leave a comment here by midnight Friday December 21st and one random winner will be selected for yummy soft laundry goodness.

Rachel said...

Who couldn't use this?

Audra Marie said...

Oh what a fun prize. I don't like heavily perfumed stuff either. This prize pack looks wonderful. :)

Cindy at The Clever Container Co. said...

Definitely need laundry stuff. And I love "essentials" stuff.

Cricket said...

My boss always jokes around and says I am part labrador retriever because my sense of smell is so acute. I need fresh smelling scents around me in order to function but they can't be overwhelmingly perfumed otherwise I end up with a headache. I am always nervous about trying new laundry stuff but you mentioned it is not overly fragranced so I am hoping this will be the one I have been looking for! If I win it, I can try it without the fear of having spent a ton on soap only to have to pass it along to a friend because I can't use it. So here is to hoping I can be random enough to win!
