Purex and The Pool Opening

Disclosure:  The Purex brand provided me with a sample of Purex Plus Clorox 2 detergent in exchange for this product review.  All opinions expressed on this blog post are my own and completely honest.

 

Every year around this time which is normally Mother’s Day weekend I head outside to prepare the pool for the season.  Unfortunately, after uncovering it at the end of April we were then hit with weeks of cold and excessive rain so the pool and the deck became littered with dirt and leaves. 

 

However, not wanting to wait any longer in the month for the weather to warm up I went outside on Saturday to get things cleaned up – and as you can see, got very dirty in the process!

The sun finally popped out towards the end of the day, but I still didn’t get a chance to get the pool clean.  The water flow to the filter wasn’t working properly so now I have to wait for Pool Care Specialist to send a tech to repair it which was disappointing.

 

Thankfully the day wasn’t a total lost because at least I wasn’t disappointed in the the clean up of my clothes.  It was perfect timing when the Purex brand provided me with a sample of their new Purex plus Clorox 2 Detergent to review and it turned this dirty mess back into a nice clean set of clothes.

stain fighters

I have been using Purex Detergent for many years but am glad that they have added Clorox 2 to the formula.  Not only does it work on 100 stains, including chocolate, tomato, ice cream, grass and blood, but it is also safe for colors and contains an extra powerful boost of Clorox 2 stain fighters. 

Now if I can only get the pool filter to give me a powerful boost then I will have the pool ready before the Memorial Day weekend!

Purex Crystals Aromatherapy Review

PurexCrystalsDisclosure

Hello friends,

Let me ask you this question, “can doing laundry change your mood?”  My answer is “YES IT CAN”, and it can be changed for the better.  In our house, Saturday is laundry day which is also my favorite weekend chore.  No, it’s not that I love washing, drying and folding clothes, it’s because of the fresh scent of the new Purex Crystals Aromatheraphy.  These new Purex Crystals Aromatherapy in-wash scent boosters are blended with essential oils that turn a bore chore into so much more!

What Chore is a Bore?

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday

I hope you had a nice MLK Day of Service Holiday and was able to do something special and not boring like cleaning the house!  Speaking of which, what chore for you is the most boring?

Is it sweeping and mopping the floor?  It may be a boring chore but it’s mandatory if that “5-Second rule” is to apply!

How about washing and drying clothes?  Thankfully, my sons have been doing their own laundry since the age of 12, but I still hate doing mine and hubby’s!

How about cleaning out the refrigerator?  Just how long can you keep that opened jar of jelly….one or two years?

What about dusting?  I don’t really mind it, but I just can’t figure out how dust can settle in an area that we don’t use.  We don’t enter the house using the front door so why is that foyer table always dusty!

How about bathroom cleaning?  My sons are each assigned a bathroom to clean and needless to say they find it boring!

 Hands down for me, the kitchen table basket is the bore chore.  This catch-all basket contains coupons, store inserts, and junk mail that I want to read later. Between this basket and the junk drawers they have got to be the most boring chore ever! (hey…there’s even a Christmas candy cane in there)
