As I write this post about my new-found natural laundry care products from Sun & Earth, my washer is churning away and the dryer is bringing the fresh citrus-y smell through the house.

As one of the Sun & Earth “Sunny Seven” – I was sent Sun & Earth’s entire line of laundry products to get to try out.

I’ve already shown you how great the Sun & Earth On The Spot Instant Stain Remover Pen works and now I have to rave about their other fabric care products.  Not because I was given them for free, but because I absolutely love the way their detergents clean and the way my freshly laundered clothes and towels smell when washed with the Sun & Earth line of detergents, softeners and dryer sheets.

I have to admit that I am still a fan of my Purex 3-in-1 laundry sheets because they are simple and no-fuss.  But, when it comes to larger loads of laundry and especially stained clothing that needs to soak – Sun & Earth has come to the rescue.

Their line of eco-friendly laundry detergents are chemical-free and one of the few lines of laundry products that work well with all of the sensitive skin issues we have around here.

I can wash the iTwins clothes with our clothes and everything comes out super-clean and smelling citrus-y fresh.

The natural formula is hypoallergenic, biodegradable, non-toxic and free of allergens, dyes, perfumes and petroleum-based ingredients – just like their cleaning products, you can feel comfortable that your clothing is not being doused with harsh chemicals and allergy-causing ingredients.

And talk about environmentally-friendly – their dryer sheets are biodegradable within 21 days!

I also just LOVE the smell of the clothes when they come out of the washer and dryer too…they don’t smell flowery like some scented detergents, but rather citrus-y fresh.  It’s a natural clean smell that I just love (and you know I have a sensitive schnoz).

Their Unscented 2x Laundry Detergent works just as well and your clothes come out smelling…well, just simply beautifully crisp and clean.

Sun & Earth is once again giving YOU the chance to try their laundry products.

One winner is going to receive all of this!

[In my BEST Billy Mays voice]
“DO! YOU! HATE! DOING! LAUNDRY?
Sure.
We all do”

[ok back to my voice]
It’s a total given. Especially for me after 10 loads of laundry this past weekend – yikes.  For real…see my TWEET. And who can forget this laundry nightmare?

But Purex just made it a little A LOT easier on all of us.

I’d like LOVE to introduce you to:

You guessed it.
Detergent + Softener + Anti-Static!

Toss it in with your wash…then transfer it to the dryer with your clothes and wha-la!  No more pouring little cup-fulls of detergent and softener into your wash load and no more forgetting the dryer sheet.  AND BONUS no more static cling and sticking together blankets with sparks and all.  Can you imagine saving yourself from ALL THOSE BOTTLES in your laundry room…do I even have to mention the cha-ching savings?

See…so easy-peasy…

The detergent & fabric softener is released into the wash-load … you are then left with a dryer-sheet … the heat of the dryer releases the additional softer and anti-static into your clothes, blankets, etc. – ALL-IN-ONE SHEET!

I tried it yesterday and folded clothes last night…I could ACTUALLY tell which clothes were washed (of the numerous loads strewn on my bed) using the new PUREX 3-in-1 – they smelled the best and were so incredibly soft!  I even made my husband feel (HAH – stay clean here people) – he agreed.

Did I mention how GREAT and fresh it smells too — I’m a smell-person (no, not smelly) I enjoy products for how yummy they smell.  You can sell me on the scents alone.  Purex 3-in-one comes in 3 heavenly (can you use that word together with laundry?) scents.

BUT…

…I AM a little evil because I tested the Purex 3-in-1 on myBuddy’s & Pinkie’s blankets…they are so sensitive that it’s hard to find products that DON’T make them break out into some sort of jungle-rash.  They slept last night with their fresh, clean blankies, well…like babies!

Ok, so the deal is I got to try it….NOW YOU HAVE TO!
People this isn’t even on the shelves yet.

——– (UPDATED – Contest is closed) ——–
Leave me a comment and tell me if you’d actually buy this new Purex Complete 3-in-1 laundry sheet and WHY you need it.  Then I’ll randomly pick a winner next week (when you are back to REALITY and doing laundry again after your Mother’s Day pampering) for a FREE STARTER KIT of your own!

*Comment submissions end on 5/13.
*OK – I’ll give you (1) EXTRA entry if you follow me…then leave an extra comment telling me that you do! (leave me an extra comment even if you do ALREADY folllow me)
****CONTEST CLOSED****
Congratulations to Kelly at Parenting Princesses!!!
The POST with the announcement and drawing is here.

I leave you with one my favorite quotes:

When I said “I do” I didn’t mean, your laundry.
