Did you know that most liquid fabric softener reek havoc on your laundry? 

Most are oil based, can decrease your towels absorbency, make your child’s sleepwear less safe and can reduce the effectiveness of your sportswear.

How you ask? 

By using oil based fabric softeners you allow oil build up to accumulate on your clothes.  This allows dirt and debris to stick to fabrics lowering the lifespan of your clothes. It inhibits proper cleaning of your laundry leading to unwanted gray or yellow discoloration. The oily residue also interferes with the absorbency of towels. 

Did you know that The Consumer Products Safety Commission regulates that garments designated as sleepwear for children must meet certain flame-retardant standards. Clothing must be flame resistant and self-extinguish if they come into contact with a small flame. Here’s a scary fact. The effectiveness of the treatment that’s used to make the clothes flame resistant can be impaired when covered in the oily residue left behind by most liquid fabric softeners. That same residue can reduce the effectiveness of wicking fabrics in sportswear preventing them from pulling sweat away from the body during a workout.

Purex Complete Crystals Softeners are 92% natural and not oil based. Instead of coating fabrics with oil they work by penetrating the fabric. Purex Crystals is the first major fabric softener that is 100% safe to use on children’s sleepwear and does not impair the flame retardant qualities.  It also allows your towels to stay absorbent and lets the wicking fabrics in sportswear do their jobs. 

I used Purex Crystals myself just recently. It smells amazing in the washer and still smells great in the dryer. They clothes were really soft. This was proved by my three year old who exclaimed how soft her night gown was when I dressed her for bed. I really enjoy the way it works and I will be purchasing a full sized bottle.
