My New Favorite Liquid Laundry Detergent: Purex Natural Elements (Giveaway!)

· by · 124 Comments

I’m a big fan of saving big $$ in the laundry room. I’m also a big fan of using naturally sourced ingredients when washing clothes and having a little negative impact on the environment as possible.

I have found that more often than not, those two interests conflict, and if I want to save money, it comes at the cost of the environment. If I want to be kind to the earth, it comes at the cost of my wallet.

That’s why I was absolutely thrilled to hear about Purex Ultra Natural Elements detergent that recently launched. This product in the Purex line has a biodegradable formula and natural fragrance extracts, and I can tell you from experience that the cleaning power is fantastic. I also know that e price is right, as Purex products are among the most affordable on the shelves!

The smell is terrific, but definitely not overpowering. I find that by the time the clothes have been washed and dried, most of the fragrance is gone. I actually prefer it that way, as I don’t want my clothes to smell perfumed. I especially don’t want that for clothes my kids wear.

If you feel similarly to me about your laundry products, let me show you exactly what this bottle looks like so you can easily find it on your store shelves:

I’m really pleased with Purex Natural Elements and when I run out of detergent, this will be the brand I purchase next. Eco-friendly AND wallet-friendly. That’s how I roll!

Win it! One winner will receive TWO coupons for free Purex Natural Elements detergent! Woo hoo!

under the rainbow

Welcome to the Under the Rainbow Giveaway Hop, hosted by the Blogging Mamas Network!

From March 1st-17th, you’ll have the chance to win plenty of prizes from over 50 bloggers to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!

So after you enter my giveaway, make like a little, green Leprechaun and hop around to all the other blogs participating in the Event!

What will YOU find Under the Rainbow?!

 

Here’s my contribution to the hop! I have up for grabs a FANTASTIC gift basket from Unique Natural Products! We are really committed to using natural cleaning products in our home, and I always enjoy giving new (or at least new to me) companies a try. I have been really impressed with the high quality of green cleaning products that have come on the market lately…a notable improvement from even 3 years ago, I would say!

wine stain eater from unique natural products

So today I want to showcase Unique Natural Products. Basically, what you are buying in these containers is a bunch of bacteria! These bacteria LOVE to eat dirt and stains. They are sort of amazing, actually! I have been using the wine stain remover (which also works on other food stains like ketchup!) on Darah’s clothes and have been getting terrific results.

We’ve also been using the pet odor eliminator. It is never exciting to have to reach for it (because it means that Hattie threw up…AGAIN…and usually on the carpet). But it is very effective, and I am totally at ease using it, even with a crawling, drooling, biting, licking, putting-everything-possible-in-her-mouth baby crawling around. I know I’m not actually even using chemicals! Everything is safe for humans and pets.

super digest it from unique natural products

But perhaps my very favorite item of all is the Super Digest It. Drain openers are one of the most toxic items in most people’s homes. They are also HORRIBLE for the environment. I very strongly dislike them, but have found myself buying them in the past when I didn’t know that I had any other choice. Super Digest It bacteria eat the organic matter that is clogging up your pipes. No chemicals needed! Just nature doing its thing! Isn’t that awesome????!!! We are using it on our pipes once a month, now, just as a preventative measure to ensure that anything that is building up gets taken care of before it becomes a problem. And since I shed hair like a cat, this is especially helpful in our bathroom drain!

You can order products from Unique Natural products online or find your nearest retailer here! I very highly recommend them and have made a note of where I can go pick up more in Chattanooga once my supply dwindles!

  • Pet Odor Eliminator Ready to Use (24 oz)
