I don't need my clothes as bright as the burning sun. I don't need my clothes as soft as...well, something extremely soft. And I don't need my clothes smelling like a flower shop. I just need my clothes clean and comfortable! Purex does the job, and for a good price.
I have sensitive skin (general itchiness, eczema), especially when cold weather starts to creep in. So, to help me fight my battle with the itch this winter, I decided to switch to as many fragrance free and hypoallergenic products as I could find. I chose Purex Free and Clear for my laundry, as the scented varieties have always cleaned my clothes well enough.
But would this "Free and Clear" be up to the challenge? Is it inferior? I put it to the test, washing a load of my clothing, some of which was stained with greasy itch creams, some of which smelled kind of rank because my itchy, irritated armpits had to go without deodorant for a few days while they healed.
And guess what? My clothes came out...CLEAN. Nothing more, nothing less. Threw them in the dryer with a couple of unscented dryer sheets, opened up the dryer a bit later to check on them, and was greeted by the smell of simply clean clothes. Quite refreshing actually.
The real test was to smell the armpits of the shirts that had to suffer the wrath of my unhampered sweat glands. They smelled like...nothing. Awesome. I am now sitting here writing this review in my pajamas which were laundered with this product. I feel less itchy already.
