Purex Complete 3-in-1

Purex Complete 3-in-1 Sheets are an all-in-one laundry product released by the Purex brand. It comes in the form of a sheet that contains laundry detergent, softener and anti-static ingredients. The sheet facilitates the use of only one laundry product to work during both the washing and drying cycles. This design was intended to ease the process of doing laundry.

Consumer Warning/Problems

These sheets have been known to cause stains on articles of clothing, leading to many unhappy consumers. ( See http://www.amomsreview.com/2009/07/07/purex-complete-3-in-1-laundry-detergent-sheets/ )

Operation

Each Purex Complete 3-in-1 sheet contains laundry detergent, softener and static protection. The sheet is put in a washing machine with clothes. When water is released during the washing process, the detergent activates. When the clothes have finished washing and are transferred to the dryer, the dryer's heat activates the softener and anti-static elements of the 3-in-1 sheet.

Purex Complete 3-in-1 sheets are able to release different components at different times due to moisture and heat activated ingredients. Additionally, The Sheets have a higher concentration of detergent than most other products in order to fit on one sheet.

Purex Complete 3-in-1 sheets come in three scents: Spring Oasis, Tropical Escape, and Pure & Clean, and are similarly effective in top- and front-loading washing machines. Once laundry is finished, the leftover sheet can be thrown away.

Background

Purex is headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona. The brand is owned by Henkel.
