True Innovation in Laundry Care--NO Liquids

Purex is living up to its name. They recently came out with Purex Natural Elements, a biodegradable laundry detergent made from naturally-sourced cleaning ingredients, which does an excellent job cleaning and softening clothes. A plus is there are several special and refreshing scents made with natural fragrance extracts: Linen & Lilies, Apple & Melon, Cherry Blossoms & Vanilla and Lilac & Lavender. When you open the bottle your senses are hit with an exhilarating wave of freshness that translates into the cleanest laundry.

Purex Natural Elements Fabric Softener is a more recent addition and comes in two fresh scents, Linen & Lilies and Apple & Melon, that complement the detergent fragrances. The softeners also contain natural fragrance extracts, are hypoallergenic and free of dyes and the formula is biodegradable.

But the newest member of the Purex cleaning team is a real breakthrough. Purex just introduced their new 3-in-1 Laundry Sheets – and unlike any other detergent - there is NO liquid involved. Imagine washing and softening your clothes with one sheet that does it all. These sheets are amazing and do everything promised. And there are no bottles or liquids involved so they are lightweight and spill-free and so make perfect sense when you need to pack laundry products for travel.

Simply drop a Laundry Sheet into the washer (either Standard or High-efficiency), the blue detergent portion of the sheet is released during the wash cycle. Once the washer is complete, transfer the laundry sheet with clothes to dryer. The color stripe is heat activated by the dryer to soften clothes and remove static.

3-in-1 Laundry Sheets are available in three unique fragrances: Spring Oasis^TM, Tropical Escape^TM and Pure & Clean.

Highly recommended. And Purex recently launched their Purex Changes Lives program (www.purexchangeslives.com) in partnership with Kiva.org, a global person-to-person micro-lending website that helps low-income families create their own sustainable sources of income. We wanted to let you know that for every Purex Complete 3-in-1 UPC registered at PurexChangesLives.com Purex will donate one dollar to help a hard-working entrepreneur of their choice.

Fragrant Glade

After you have cleaned your surroundings you’ll want to keep the environment smelling fresh and fragrant. There are ever-increasing types of air fresheners out there—some passive, some active—some a combination.

Consider Glade’s lovely multi-wick Soy Based Candle. For about $8.99 you can have a delightful fragrance wafting throughout the room without even lighting the candle. Three wicks are better than one in a candle this size and the idea behind a soy-based candle is that soy wax is all-natural, burns cleaner and produces less soot and can burn up to 50% longer than candles made from paraffin.

There are six scents available including Currants & açai, Orange vanilla, and Sheer white cotton (a blissful blend of floral, woody and fruity notes such as freesia and lime), The six fragrances are also available in a single wick candle and a Reed Diffuser.The aroma is subtle yet heavenly.

Another option of course is spray fragrance. With the Sense & Spray you can have the fragrance without pushing the button. Sense & Spray has a built-in motion sensor and automatically releases concentrated burst of freshness. It works well and after about 30 days it can be refilled with cartridges in scents such as Clean Linen, Apple Cinnamon, Powder Fresh and Country Garden.

A favorite air freshener with a bonus is Glade's Wisp Flameless Candle. Not a candle at all-- there is no flame--you get the effect of a scented candle without any of the safety issues. The glow is very realistic and the scent that automatically puffs out over time is very refreshing, indeed. This is really an innovative product.

All these are easily available and affordable so you can put one of

each in rooms throughout your environment to create an atmosphere of inviting

and relaxing fragrance.
