I was super happy and eager to try out the new Purex 3 in 1 laundry sheets. With four small boys, I'm always looking for ways to limit my time on chores. At first, I was really happy with the sheets. They seemed to be working out great and they were saving time.

Then one day my new (less than 3 months old) washing machine, stopped working. It wouldn't drain or spin. I called the repair man since it was under warranty.

Imagine my surprise when the repair man pulled out the remains of 6 Purex 3 in 1 sheets. They had somehow gotten sucked into the hoses and nearly burned the engine of the washing machine up. Guess what else? That would NOT have been covered under the warranty!

I have one of the new front loading washing machines, so I quickly scanned the box and their corporate website for any warnings about using the sheets with that type of machine. There were none. In fact, on the box it states that they work with front and top loading machines.

Not so much.

I am emailing Henkel corporation today to let them know of the problem. Your clothes might be clean and you might save time but you MIGHT lose your washing machine in the process.

Buyer beware!
