From Inmates to Playdates

During our week-long camping extravaganza, I watched in horror as our laundry bag filled to capacity and then began to seep out the top of the black plastic trash -bag.

Seriously, there are four of us. And two of us happen to be under forty-eight inches tall.

Fearing an all-out revolt, I decided it was time to fight the evil forces of the laundry bag and its filthy contents.

During a trip to the Mart of Walls, I found a product that I will be using for years to come in our camper. May I introduce you to Purex’s 3-in-1 Laundry sheets. I don’t think I ever recall seeing these in the laundry section before now, but its possible they’ve been out a long time because I don’t make it a point to shop the laundry aisle any more than necessary. I was looking for a travel size bottle of laundry detergent because as I said we were camping. I didn’t want to purchase a big, honkin’ bottle of detergent because I didn’t want it to spill all over our camper in transit.

My eyes lit up like a Christmas tree when I saw these boogers. They seemed perfect for storing in a camper throughout camping season.

They were a bit pricey, but once you figure in the price of detergent, softener and dryer sheets, I would bet it’s pretty-much equal.

Still skeptical of such a do-it-all product, I rounded up enough quarters to do two loads of laundry in the camp ground laundry room (which was no small chore let me just tell you) and made my way back to our camper to retrieve the bag of laundry so that I could try these suckers out.

When the wash cycle was complete, I was shocked at how good the laundry smelled. I had no idea there were three different scents and sadly, the sheets are still tucked away in our camper, so I have no idea which scent I happened to pick up at the Mart of Walls but it smelled really good (and so did our closet in the camper after the sheets sat on the shelf over-night.)

I was thrilled with the product and thankfully doing those two loads of laundry made a big difference because instead of doing seven loads once we returned home, I only had to do five loads.

Sweet mercy, I didn’t think it would ever end.

Unfortunately, Purex has yet to come up with a way for their product to fold the laundry as well.

Purex 3 in 1 detergent sheets worked for me!
