Product Review: Woolite Portable Oxy Deep P.O.D.

oxy.jpg I would’ve given this a higher rating, but the day after a used it I noticed the spot that I had cleaned on my wool-pile rug was discolored. It’s only a shade or so lighter, the rug is not ruined, but I certainly won’t be trying this product on any other wool materials. On the bright side, there’s not a hint that there was ever a stain on the rug.

I was surprised; I’ve been using Woolite products for years and growing up my mom used them as well. And I’ve used the Oxy Deep spray solution on another item with glowing results.

The P.O.D. itself is portable, easy to use, and made cleaning my pet’s mess easier and quicker. It’s an all-in-one solution to cleaning up stains. I plan to dump the Oxy Deep solution and use another product.

Skip it: If you want to try this product yourself, test it on a small area first. You can find it as your local grocery store in the cleaning/detergent aisle. There’s a $1/1 MFRC in the 03-14-10 SS or $1/1 MFRC in the 06-13-10 SS.

Product Review: Purex Complete 3-in-1

I don’t have a washer and dryer in my apartment so convenience is key when doing laundry because of the amount of hauling stuff around that is involved. That’s why I loved the all-in-one concept of Purex’s new laundry sheets. And for the most part they deliver.

The concept is simple three sheets in one, detergent on one, softener on the second sheet and anti-static on the third and all three are attached to one another so it’s essentially one sheet. I’m only carrying a sheet to the laundry with me versus boxes or bottles of detergent and fabric softener. So the delivery is fantastic, as far as the job that needs to be done it completed most of that. The detergent did remove all the stains but I did notice some scents left over in the armpits of some of the shirts in the pile. The fabric softener and anti-static did a fantastic job and the clothes smelled great (Spring Oasis scent) coming out of the dryer. Even after a day’s wear my clothes still smell great.

Get it: Averaging around $4-$5 for a package with 20 sheets (20 loads) is a decent price. The smell isn’t overwhelming and stays on your clothes and with the exception of a bit of odor in a couple of very used shirts, the detergent works. I received this through a free sample deal that is still going on. Definitely try it for yourself.
