Purex Fels-Naptha Laundry Bar Reveiw and Giveaway



This may seem like an odd product to review, especially since it can be considered a sort of "dated" product in this age of sprays, gels, and technology.  But after still being around for 100 years, this proves to be a tried and true stain removal method. I love the old time wrapper too. 

 

Purex Fels-Naptha is a solid laundry bar soap that fights oily, greasy, and perspiration stains, dirt, ring around the collar and much, much more.

This bar works very similar in the same way that you would pre-treat laundry stains with sprays, etc. 

Unbeknownst to me I dripped something on my pink tank top :(

And wouldn't you know I had several stops to make that day!



I wet the stain and the Purex Fels-Naptha Laundry Bar.

Rubbed into stain, which made a sort of lather.

  

Started the washer and tossed in my load of laundry.

 I added my tank top, that was pretreated, in last.

This allowed the Purex Fels-Naptha Laundry Bar 

a few minutes to work it's magic.

This was the first time I've used this bar as a pretreatment for stains. I do, however, use it as an ingredient in my homemade laundry detergent and love it.

Yay, just like new!

 If you think you have been exposed to poison ivy, oak or sumac, shower immediately with Purex Fels-Naptha to remove the resin from your skin, and it will help to dry up the rash, as well. This will greatly reduce and in most cases prevent any skin reaction to the poison ivy oil. Make sure to launder your clothes in some grated Purex Fels-Naptha to remove the resin from your clothes. Poison ivy resin can stay on your clothes for over 1 year even if the clothes have been washed with normal detergent.
