As you have all probably noticed by now, I have two toddlers. My daughter is 3 and my son is 19 months. They keep me VERY busy and I am constantly amazed at the amount of laundry they go through in a given week. I usually do upwards to 2 loads of toddler laundry per week. If I don't do it that often or even more often than that, they seriously run out of clothes to wear. Today I did their laundry and it took two loads to complete it...wow. When it was just hubby and I the laundry pile was much smaller and I had always heard people talk about when the children come how the laundry increases. I can't say that I didn't believe them...I just had to really experience it to understand it fully. Needless to say, now I understand. :)
Well, as a Purex Insider I have yet another opportunity to introduce you all to a new product that Purex is bringing out and this one is very nice. Purex UltraPacks are convenient, small (yet powerful) packets of liquid laundry detergent. Using these packets is super easy as all you do is toss them in the washer and watch them dissolve. This process releases the detergent and there you have it...no mess, no fuss.

Although it looks like a small amount of detergent, it is very powerful and will do the job that your normal detergent would have done. I was a bit skeptical, but quickly put that aside when I saw how they worked.
So, for this review I was sent a full-sized package of Purex UltraPacks Liquid Laundry Detergent. The scent I chose was the Mountain Breeze as I prefer a nicely scented detergent for my laundry.
Before you handle the small packets of detergent, make sure your hands are clean and dry; otherwise you will  start the dissolving process of the packet before it hits the washer. As you can see above, all the packets are the same size and are VERY pretty...so be sure to keep them out of your children's reach!!!

I had a load of toddler laundry to do recently and it was the perfect opportunity to try out theses little packets.  Now, if you are doing an extra large load (which I tend to do often), you will want to use 2 packets. Like I said, I tend to fill the washer full to capacity so I usually need 2. As the water begins to run into the washer, toss in your packet. Here is what happens:

The packet is in the water...

...and here it is all dissolved. You can see it starting to ooze out of the casing it was in.
