Purex Complete ... Are They As Good The Commercials?

I just had to give in and try the new laundry sheets ... are they as good as they say they are on the commercial?  Well, the verdict is in ... YES ... almost.  They get the laundry clean and soft.  However, they are not getting all of the static out in the dryer.  But they are very convenient, no more dealing with the sloppy, sticky liquid laundry detergents for me.  And I think that these are even safer to use around children than the liquid detergents. I can see where my daughter might get into the liquid detergent and try to drink it or stick her fingers in it and then in her mouth.  But that isn't a problem with the 3-in-1 sheet.  I give this product a thumbs up!

I'm a huge fan of Purex - love thier laundry detergent. I tried the 3 in 1 sheets but they left a powder like mark on some of my black pants. When I washed them again with Purex liquid detergent it came out. Now I only use the sheets for towels & bedding.

I guess my reply isn't going to be that helpful.  I do use them and like them, but I have a super capacity washing machine that washes a lot of clothes in one load and one sheet does not even produce a lather when the clothes are washing so I have to put extra liquid in.  Then I put the clothes right into my dryer that already has the Bounce dryer bar in it which I love!!!!  It smells so good and takes away all static.  Mine does not make the white marks on my clothing hat other posts complained of.

I love them, but like the above poster stated, I have to add extra liquid with them for loads like jeans

I use at least two of these in the load when I use them. I basically decided they are only good for items that are only slightly dirty, like my bed sheets that I change once a week. I don't think they leave a scent on clothes after the dryer. I love liquid purex but I guess am alittle disappointed in these 3-in-one sheets. 

I love my 4 ratties!

I too, love these sheets, but I will only buy them if they are on sale & I have a coupon because I do too much laundry & it's more costly.

Just curious about the white mark comments, are you adding the sheet to the water as the machine is filling or are you placing it on top of the load?

I like using purex when my money is low. I use the powder kind, and I fill the washerup and pour the powder in first, I do not pour the powder on my clothes. I also used the liquid before, my opinion both do te same for me, but I just use the powder kind. It is just a habbit to go to he store and grab the powder detergent. I would just recommend in the future to pour the detergent in the water instead of on your clothes.

I caved and bought one since I had a left over $1 off coupon. 24 sheets for $3.99 (after coupon) or 16 cents a load. NOT worth it. My clothes did not smell clean, didn't look clean and frankly it was too expensive over all.

I'm currently using Surf since I was able to get a box of it for $3.99 (another $1 coupon and it was on sale at Fred Meyer for $4.99). The Surf box was a 96 load so that's less than 4 cents a load! I use the Bounce 4-month dryer bar so I don't even need to add fabric softner. The Bounce dryer bar is about $5 to $7 depending on where you buy it and if it's on sale and if you have a coupon. It's probably less on sale and with coupon but mine was about $5.49. I'm probably tacking on another penny a load when I dry the clothes.

Purex Complete 3-in-1... not a good deal.

The only thing they are good for is when the Hubby goes TDY or deploys. No chance of spillage. For home we are using Wisk. I got a great deel on the 3X small bottles. 2 bottles were 2.99 each, I had a 4.50 off two coupon and 1 off each. So they paid me 50 cents to buy it:) Plus no tax on base.  

You have to go through a screening process to adopt animals, but anyone can give birth and do what they want to that child- scary....
