Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash Detergent Review and Giveaway! (2 Winners) - CLOSED!

I just love being a Purex Insider!  I get to try out all kinds of new products and get to offer great giveaways to my awesome readers!  Well this time I got to try out the newest fragrance from the Purex Natural Elements brand: Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash!  When I first received my package, I couldn't wait to smell this detergent.  I opened it right away and was delighted to smell an exotic fragrance of tropical flowers, pineapple and coconut!  It was like me nose was on a tropical vacation!  I love for things to smell good in my home.  (I'm always worried about the smell of my home since I change dirty diapers all day.)  So my laundry MUST smell good AND must be clean!  I have always trusted Purex to get my clothes white, bright and clean and I knew I wouldn't be disappointed by this new fragrance, since Purex never lets me down.

The Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash detergent gives us the same bright, white and clean laundry that we've come to expect from Purex, but contains naturally sourced ingredients that are gentle enough for sensitive skin.  This formula is hypoallergenic and dye-free.  It also has the great cleaning power of Purex with DirtLift Action.  After throwing in a load of laundry, I went back to the basement to switch loads and was greeted by a wonderful tropical fragrance that I still can't get enough of.  My laundry smells wonderful and all of our stains are gone.  (Believe me, we can stain up some laundry!)  I also love the great value of Purex products!  I know I've said this time and time again, but you can really save some money by switching to Purex.  It costs about half of the price of some of those other leading national brands, but you don't have to sacrifice quality!  My clothes are just as clean and smell great if not better, than the other leading brands.
