Product Review: Purex Complete 3-in-1 Laundry Sheets

Product Description (taken from website)

Purex® Complete 3-in-1™ Laundry Sheets come in three scents and are available in two package types – a Starter Kit (1 Dispenser + 20 Laundry Sheets) and a value Refill Pouch (24 Laundry Sheets).
The Starter Kit includes a refillable Dispenser that makes it simple to protect and access Purex Complete 3-in-1™ Laundry Sheets. Once you have the Dispenser, simply purchase the money-saving Refill Pouch to fill the convenient Dispenser.



Last week I received in the mail 2 sheets of Purex® Complete 3-in-1™ Laundry Sheets.  They are a single laundry sheet that you put in with your wash that contains laundry detergent, fabric softener and dryer sheet in one.  Since we use the laundry center in our complex I thought they might make doing laundry easier, not having to carry 2 bottles and a box with me along with clothes, keys and quarters.

I was a bit skeptical, my husband and 4 yr. old both have sensitive skin and I wasn't sure if it would make them break out.  I also wasn't sure how well the fabric softener would work being all on one sheet.  However, I was quite surprised.  Not only did our laundry come out clean and soft but it didn't break out my husband or son.

I am sold on the product and will be buying it on the next trip to the store.  I had been wanting to try them but I wasn't sure if they were worth the price.  After trying them I have conclude that for my family they are.  If you wash your clothes yourself at home then convenience may not be as big of a factor for you.  Another thing I like is that my kids love putting them in the wash, it makes them feel like they are helping.

You can try 2 free sheets of Purex Complete 3-in-1 laundry sheets as well as get a coupon here.:

Scrubbing Bubbles Fresh Brush and Toilet Cleaning Gel

Scrubbing Bubbles® Fresh Brush® 2-in-1 (from the website)
Scrubbing Bubbles® Fresh Brush® 2-in-1 makes toilet cleaning easy. Simply use the disposable Fresh Brush® MAX pads for thorough weekly cleanings and Fresh Brush® Flushables pads for daily touch-ups. The heavy-duty Fresh Brush® MAX toilet cleaner pads clean tough stains like hard water, lime scale, rust and more. Fresh Brush® Flushables toilet cleaner pads make it easy to loosen and clean daily soils and stains. With both types of pad, there's no germy brush to store.

Look for the Scrubbing Bubbles® Fresh Brush® 2-in-1 Starter Kit in stores.
The Starter Kit includes a handle, a storage hook, two Max refill pads and four Flushables pads. 

You don’t have to take on toilet cleaning alone. Scrubbing Bubbles® Toilet Cleaning Gel takes care of the tough work for you. Simply use the dispenser to stamp a gel disc onto the inside of your toilet bowl. The discreet gel disc sits just under the rim. There's no need to touch the disc or the bowl with your hand, making Scrubbing Bubbles® Toilet Cleaning Gel more hygienic than traditional clip-on bowl cleaners.

The gel disc gradually dissolves with each flush, allowing a controlled release of cleaning solution and fragrance. Each disc lasts up to one week and leaves no residue behind. Your toilet bowl will remain cleaner, longer—with practically zero effort.

Each package contains:
- One disposable, easy-to-use dispenser
- One gel holder (gel holder contains six gel discs)  

Last week I downloaded a coupon to get a Scrubbing Bubbles Fresh Brush 2-in-1 Starter Kit fre (up to $7) with the purchase of Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Cleaning Gel ($3.47 at Wal-Mart.)  I hadn't heard of the Toilet Cleaning Gel but I had been wanting to try the Fresh Brush so I used the coupon to purchase them both for less than $4.  This was just too good of a deal to pass up.

To be honest, I wasn't expecting very much as in my experience disposable products to work as well as standard cleaning products.   However, I was quite pleasantly surprised.  The Fresh Brush Max cleaning pad did an excellent job, even on the VERY grimy toilet in the boys' bathroom.  I was even able to get some spots that I had thought were stains.  I love the hook that comes with it so you can just hang it on the side of the tank, making it easily accessible with cluttering the bathroom.  The only problems I have had is a couple times the Max pad came off the handle, but I may not have put it on securely, and the fact that it is not flushable (not that big of a deal.)

The Toilet Cleaning Gel is what has really impressed me.  Between stomach problems in the family and potty training our toilets usually get nasty every few days (one of the reasons I wanted to try the Fresh Brush as I'm always cleaning.)  After using the Fresh Brush with the Max pads to clean both toilets I deposited a gel disk in each toilet (it's actually pretty cool because you kind of stamp it on.)  Each disk lasts for about a week depending on how much your toilet gets used.  I was really impressed with how well it cleans.  At the end of the week  I only needed to do a touch up cleaning with one of the flushable pads, a huge improvement over having to scrub every few days.  The drawback of this product is when you first apply the gel the scent can be a bit overpowering but it dissipates rather quickly.

These are both excellent products for busy moms as they allow for easy cleaning and maintenance.  Currently the printable coupon is still available from Right@Home.  You can pick yours up here: Right@Home Scrubbing Bubbles BOGO coupon.  While you're there be sure to sign up for Right@Home as they have great deals, samples and tips.

Spoils of the Day- Garage Sale Finds for Sat - 6/19

Today started out slow because it was sprinkling on and off so a lot of garage sales that were listed didn't bother putting things out.  Those that did paid off because it dried up and started getting warmer around 9:30 AM.
  • Shorts for husband - $1.00
  • Shorts for Jordan / Julian (they wear the same size) - $0.75
  • Pitching machine - Free
  • Da Vinci's Challenge game - $1.50
  • Sponge Bob Playing Cards - Free
  • 3 Shirts for me - $0.75
  • 7 pairs of pants for me- $1.75
In all I spent $11.00 this weekend and picked up several things we needed.  I'm kicking myself a bit about not picking up the lavender backpack I found yesterday, I hate it when I get indecisive, I know to pick things up when I find them and not set them down.  Over all I'm satisfied with this week's finds.

The Day's Haul - Friday 6/18

I love garage sales so I go almost every Friday and Saturday.  Here's what I picked up this morning:


  • 3D Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer Puzzle - $0.75
  • Sandals for Jordan - $0.50
  • Where in the USA is Carmen San Diego Board Game - $0.50
  • 6 Children's Books - $1.50

4 of the kid's books were Sweet Pickles books we didn't have.  I used to love Sweet Pickles as a kid and now my 4 yr old absolutely loves them.  I've been picking them up when I find them, we're starting to get a pretty good collection.  I have been looking for sandals for Jordan (my 4 yr old) for weeks since he refuses to wear socks and I finally found a really nice pair today.   I'm looking forward to tomorrow, I saw a backpack I debated about getting that I'm going to go back and see if she still has it.  I'm also looking for shorts for everyone for our trip to Louisiana in July.
