ENDED Giveaway: Stock Up on New Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash Detergent

Since we're still stuck in a stubborn winter rut here in Michigan (Last year at this time it was HOT outside! This year? SNOW!), I need all the warm weather inspiration I can get to keep me motivated for the happy days of summer. And today, my inspiration comes in the form of a bottle of new Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash laundry detergent. It smells so good...fruity and tropical, like summertime.

And, do you know what else makes me happy about Purex Natural Elements? It's biodegradable! Don't you love when that happens? To make it even more green, at least 25% of the bottle is made from post-consumer recycled plastic. Green cleaning products are fab, aren't they? So, in case you ever wonder what happens to all that plastic you've been recycling, there's your answer. Also, something that is very important for my family: Purex Natural Elements is a dye-free and hypoallergenic laundry detergent, making it perfect for sensitive skin. Furthermore, it will work in any washing machine, including high efficiency models.

I've given you lots of good reasons to run out and buy Purex Natural Elements liquid laundry detergent and start using it right away. I'm also offering one MichiGal reader the chance to win 3 bottles of Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash laundry detergent! That's about 99 loads of laundry! That would even last ME a long time, and I am the queen of the never ending laundry!

All you have to do is fill out the Rafflecopter form below, and you're in! Sorry, U.S. residents only.

ENDED 20 Mule Team Borax GIVEAWAY!

It might seem like I talk an awful lot about laundry. Maybe that is because I am up to my ears in laundry every day, and I am never, ever caught up with this monotonous chore. Like, not even close to caught up. I am always in awe when I hear someone say that they're caught up. How on earth is that possible? I don't get it. But anyway, I do like our clothes to look nice and fresh and sometimes that can be a challenge. For that reason, a laundry booster, like 20 Mule Team Borax, can be really beneficial.

I've been adding a tablespoon or two to my washing machine before washing a load of white/light colored laundry, and sometimes to towels and bedding too. Actually, I don't measure. I just sprinkle a little bit into my front loader before adding the laundry to the machine. I then use detergent as I normally would. Basically, Borax, which is a 100% natural mineral (chemical name: sodium tetraborate) with nothing added, helps to soften hard water, which in turns helps keep stains from setting.  You may not think you have hard water, but over 85% of homes do, so there is a good chance that you do, too! Hard water contains calcium and magnesium. The instructions say to use 1/2 cup per load, but I don't think I've ever used that much and I still notice a difference.

Okay, the chemistry lesson is over.

The bottom line is, do you use Borax, or if you don't, would you like to try it? Then I have good news! Three MichiGal winners will each win 1 box of 20 Mule Team Borax. Just use the Rafflecopter form below to enter!

Contest open to U.S. only.

ENDED Purex Plux Oxi GIVEAWAY!

Maybe someday, just for laughs, I'll post some pictures of my laundry room. Ha ha, just kidding, it'll never happen. I am always swimming in laundry. And when the baskets in the laundry room start to get low and I think, "almost!" then I go upstairs and realize the kids have been stockpiling dirty laundry. It has been years since all the laundry  has been clean at once. At least, I'm assuming it's been years because I don't actually remember.

I've mentioned my laundry woes many times, so that's nothing new. But here's what is new: Purex plus Oxi, a detergent and stain fighter in one! This new product is formulated to work in all washing machines - high efficiency and traditional, plus it can be used to pre-treat stains. I go through a whole lot of pre-treat stain spray, so it's nice to know that with Purex plus Oxi in the house, I'm set to go. On the flip side, no more procrastinating those stain-filled loads (my kids are confused about the whole napkin idea) until I get to Target to buy more stain remover.

Right now through November 30, Purex is hosting a sweepstakes in conjunction with the debut of their newest detergent. Just click HERE for your chance at winning the Grand Prize of $1000, or one of 200 2nd Prizes of $25!

Want to try Purex with Oxi and see for yourself how well it works? Good news! I'm hosting a giveaway! One lucky MichiGal reader will win three FREE bottles of Purex with Oxi! Just use the Rafflecopter form to enter!

Giveaway open to U.S. residents only. Other terms and conditions can be found below.

Purex provided me with a bottle of Purex with Oxi for review purposes, as well as the prize for this giveaway. All opinions are my own.

ENDED Back to School Giveaway: Purex Laundry Detergent

Let's Be Honest. School is starting up next week for my kids, and I am still deep in summer mode. I need to snap out of it because the first day of school is likely to be quite rude. I need to get back on the organized track; you know, the one where I can keep straight who has which activity after school and everyone has plenty of clean socks and underwear readily available at any given moment. Speaking of which...my laundry situation is pretty shameful right now. One look at my overflowing hampers and you'd understand where I'm coming from. This has quite possibly been the busiest summer of my life. But enough excuses! Time to get back into the swing of things!

Are you ready for back-to-school? I'm going to assume you're much more "together" than me, and that laundry never accidentally slipped off your to-do list this summer, but just in case I have a kindred spirit out there who also needs to gear up for a clothes washing marathon, I have a prize that might help your cause. One lucky winner will receive three bottles of Purex Triple Action laundry detergent! That's a lot of laundry! Just use the Rafflecopter form to enter.

Contest open to U.S. residents only. Purex Insiders provided the prize.

ENDED Giveaway: Purex Triple Action Detergent

Is laundry the bane of your existence, or is it just me? Sometimes I feel like we should all become nudists simply because I am seriously so tired of the endless cycle of laundry around here. Probably not all that practical in Michigan, but that's just one more tally mark in the "move to beach hut" column. Last month we got a new, fancy washer and dryer, and that does help somewhat because I still get a special thrill when I push those pretty little buttons. My goal is to get that laundry room cleaned up and beautiful, and then maybe I will LOVE doing laundry! A girl can dream, right?

To help get you (and me) pumped up about laundry, I am really excited to be offering 2 lucky winners a FREE bottle of Purex Triple Action detergent! Woo hoo! You'll feel much better about this endless chore if you win something!

I am going to try Purex Natural Elements, because I like my cleaning products to be as natural as possible and some of us have really sensitive skin in my house. I love that it's hypoallergenic and dye-free, but that it also contains natural fragrance extracts. We end up using a lot of unscented products, but I really like my fresh clean laundry to smell good (instead of just neutral, like it does when we use unscented stuff). Plus it works in ALL washing machines, including my new fancy schmancy high efficiency unit.

So here's the deal. The contest is open to U.S. residents only, and the prize will come in the form of a coupon for a FREE bottle of Purex Triple Action detergent of the winners' choosing, up to a $6.00 value. Just use the Rafflecopter form below. Good luck!

I received the prizes for this giveaway courtesy of Purex Insiders, but they are mine to do with as I choose, and I am not obligated to offer them in a giveaway.
