How Purex Crystals Are Different Than Traditional Oil-Based Fabric Softeners

Most fabric softeners that go into the washing machine are liquid, and are oil-based to help soften clothes. This product is different, in that it is not a liquid, but instead comes in crystal form, and is 92% natural.

As explained in more detail in this page about how to use liquid fabric softener, traditional liquid based softeners must be added to the last rinse cycle to work properly.

One of the key differences with crystals is that you don't add them during the rinse cycle, but instead you add it to the wash at the same time as your regular laundry detergent.

Another key difference between the crystal and liquid based softeners is that these crystals are advertised to be safe even for flame-resistant garments, such as children's pajamas. With traditional liquid fabric softeners they warn not to wash these clothes with the liquid softener because it can reduce its flame resistance.

Further, liquid softeners do reduce the absorbency of towels, and crystals are advertised not to do this.

Finally, liquid softeners can inhibit the ability of athletic wear, which is designed to wick away sweat from your body, from doing its job. Purex softener crystals, because they work in a different way, do not cause this problem either.

This product comes in three fragrances, currently. Unfortunately, there is not a scent free version available, which I hope Purex will correct in the future.

It is safe to use in both standard and HE washers.

Other Fabric Softeners Made By Purex

This is not the only type of fabric softener made by Purex though. Purex also makes a traditional oil-based liquid softener, and also has introduced Purex Complete 3 In 1 Laundry Sheets, which contain detergent, fabric softener for the washing machine, and then also act like dryer sheets in the dryer.

Difference Between Purex Softener Crystals And In Wash Scent Boosters

These crystals were unique on the marketplace for quite a while, but the fact that they were so popular meant that other manufacturers were bound to come out with similar products sooner or later. As such, recently Procter & Gamble has come out with two new products, called in-wash scent boosters, called Downy Unstopables and Gain Fireworks, which look very similar to the Purex crystals, and are next to them in the store shelves.

The main difference between Purex's version and these new scent boosters is that Purex's version actually softens your clothes. The other products only add scent, so while Purex's version does two things (soften and add scent) the others only do one.

***Update: The idea of a product that could both soften and add scent at once, and without oil, was too good to stay unique for too long. Recently, Dropps has also come out with a similar product to the Purex version, with Dropps coming in indiviaully wrapped pacs. You can read more about the Dropps fabric softener pacs here.***

Share Your Purex Complete Crystals Review Here

Tell me how this fabric softener worked for you, the good or the bad.

Here are some helpful hints to make sure your review is as useful as possible:

Tell me which exact brand, type and scent of softener you are reviewing, and any other important identifying characteristics of it.

Further, helpful information would include how it made your clothes feel, how it smelled immediately afterward and whether the scent lingered or not, whether you had any problems with it staining or spotting clothing, what types of fabrics you use it with, and/or any allergies or skin reactions you or a family member experienced while using it, if applicable.

I also am interested in whether you feel you need to also use dryer sheets when you use the softener, and whether you prefer the crystals to liquid fabric softener.

Any other details relevant to your opinions of the product or supply are all appreciated.
