Curvy Jones on: My Favorite Things, Thing 8
I think I’m officially an adult. I like a household item. I like a LOT of them actually. I am saddened to realize I am a grownup.
SoI saw a commercial for Purex 3 in 1 Laundry Sheets on TV and thought they were a good idea, so when I saw them at my recent grocery store trip, I thought I would try them out.
They come in a package of 20 sheets and one sheet is good for one large load. For extra large loads, they recommend using 2 sheets. These work great in the newfangled front loader machines as well. Toss the sheet into the wash, transfer with the clothes to the dryer, and you have one sheet that washes and provides fabric softening/static elimination without the hassle of multiple products.
One of the reasons I rarely use fabric softener is because I can’t be bothered to remember a second step. Downy Ball, dryer sheets, whatever– If the detergent doesn’t have softener in it, I’m not using fabric softener. I don’t particularly notice a difference in my clothing–static buildup– but I’m one of those people that, if I smell bleach, I think disinfected. If I smell detergent, I think clean. I like my clothes to smell like detergent.
I also don’t like the messiness of pouring a capful or scooping a powder. I’m accident prone– my laundry rooms always look like a smurf was squished, what with all the blue liquid around. And if I ever use dryer sheets, I find them EVERWHERE later.
So, to me the draw of this product was its compact all-in-one nature. The container has a handy flip up lid that allows you to draw out one sheet at a time, or you can take the bottom off and just leave it open. I like the flap:
So I tried them on three loads and really enjoyed the after effect– clean, soft clothes, no static at all and a nice, light scent. I love the smell of clean clothes and my clothes smell CLEAN, with a lot less hassle.You can also buy refills for these nifty sheets, so you’re not constantly throwing away packaging.

I agree. They are great.
I just bought some of these. I've been put off because I thought they were pricey, but I guess they aren't too bad considering it's all-in-one. Plus, I'm a big mess maker, too.
$1-off coupon? Cool.
Gosh I LOVE them. i don’t think I’ll ever go back to regular detergent. And the scent is great!
Okay, I’ve been using them for a while, in fact, I just had to buy a refill.
I discovered that after I take them out of the dryer, they have a second use as a scrubber for my non-stick pots and pans. They are just rough enough to get the job done.
