My Purex Complete Crystals Experience

I recently joined Purex Insiders and as a member I receive complimentary samples from the Purex® brand to test out. A few days ago I received a sample of the new Purex Crystals Softner and I'd like to share my experience with you. (While I do receive complimentary sample products from the Purex® brand, my opinions are my own)


Purex Crystals Softner is a laundry softner that is unlike other softners because it is not liquid or powder, but crystal. I didn't realize this but almost all other softners are oil-based, meaning they work by coating your fabric in oil. The residue that builds up decreases the lifespan of your fabrics because it inhibits the proper cleaning of your laundry and leads to unwanted grey or yellow discoloration. Yuck!

Unlike other softners, Purex Crystals are 92% natural and NOT oil-based. They don't coat your fabrics with oil, but penetrate the fabric with freshness that lasts for weeks, not days.


So I gave my sample a try and I was impressed. The fragrance was very pleasant. You add the crystals directly to your load of laundry (I use powder detergent so I added both the detergent and the softner and let the water fill up half way before i add clothes to ensure they are dissolved). Once the clothes were washed they were definitely softer and had a light clean fragrance. The fragrance was not overly sweet like some softners.

I really like that this product is 92% natural.

Along with the sample, Purex sent me a fact sheet detailing how traditional, oil-based softners can: 
  • Decrease your towels' ability to hold water (the oily coating inhibits the towels' ability to absorb moisture from you body or dishes
  • Make your children's sleepwear less safe 
  • Reduce the effectiveness of your sportswear (oily residue reduces effectiveness of wicking fabrics preventing them from drawing sweat away from your body during a workout)
Who knew??

Now since I'm all about getting great products for a great price, I encourage you to follow this link to find out more about this product and receive a $1 off coupon! There are three fragrances to try: Fresh Spring Waters, Lavender Blossom, and Tropical Splash
