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.
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 is a great brand. I use to use them a long time ago, I need to purchase that brand again. I can’t believe summer is just around the corner. My girls last week of school is next week. Let the summer fun begin! #ProductReviewParty
I know what you mean, if the weather was warmer perhaps it would feel like summer is right around the corner but it still feels like fall! Hubby will be picking up Malik on Wednesday – yay! Have fun next week.
