Purex Baby Review

No, Purex hasn't discovered a new way to produce babies without using God's design. However, Purex has discovered a new way to clean the baby clothes for God's wonderful gifts to us.

I was actually excited to do this review because I am currently using Purex Free & Clear and wanted to stick with what is working for now, assuming Purex Baby would be well, free and clear.

When I opened the package, I must say I was disappointed. Sure, there's no dyes in this detergent, but there are perfumes. I'm just not understanding their logic here. If I don't use detergent that has perfumes and dyes on my clothes, why would I want to use those on my baby's clothes?

Don't be fooled. Here's the breakdown comparing Purex Free & Clear and Purex Baby: They are both Hypoallergenic and Dermatologist tested. They both have the exact same ingredients, except the Purex Baby also has added perfume. Babies already smell good, why would you want to cover up that smell? (Change their diaper if they don't smell good!)

My infants all suffered from eczema, so the last thing I would want to put on their precious baby skin or to clean their yucky baby stains with would be perfumes and dyes.

I'm sorry Purex, but Purex Baby wouldn't be my choice for my baby's clothes, and it wasn't for my own clothes. (I haven't used the bottle they sent me. I'm still trying to decide what I will do with that.) I also will be discontinuing my use of Purex when all my samples of Free & Clear are gone, as I noticed it contains EDTA, something we are trying to steer clear of in our home.

However, if you don't mind having perfume in your baby's detergent (and EDTA) just leave me a comment below stating if you would like to receive a bottle of Purex Baby to try for yourself or if you would gift it to a friend/family having a baby. I will draw 3 random winners to receive a free bottle.

Purex provided me with a sample of Purex Baby detergent in exchange for a product review. However, all of the opinions expressed here are obviously my own.
