Easy Homemade Laundry Detergent | Purex Laundry Bar Review

I’m super excited to tell you about Purex Fels-Naptha Laundry Bars! These amazing little bars do wonders on your laundry! I actually had heard of these bars before, but had never tried them. What better way to give them a test drive than on my baby girl’s laundry!

Purex laundry bar on top of laundry pile

My little girl has started to eat solids, which means her laundry has started to get very “colorful!” Here’s her latest onesie covered in sweet potato 🙂

Using Fels-Naptha laundry bar on baby clothes

I used the Purex Laundry Bar as a great stain remover! Just wet the area of concern. Rub the area with the Purex Fels-Naptha Laundry Bar as a stain treater. Then just add to your normal laundry cycle.

Baby onesie with no stains

VOILA! Another saved onesie from the clutches of baby food! The sweet potato was easily removed! I love that I can use the bar as a good rub-down pre-wash stain treater. Sometimes you need MORE than just a spray! Have an oily or greasy stain? I get these a lot with cooking. You can apply the Purex Fels-Naptha Laundry Bar to the hard to treat oil/grease stains with ease.

Want to make homemade laundry detergent? You can use Purex Fels-Naptha Laundry Bar!

What you will need:

  • 1 cup Borax

    I think juice and blood are the hardest to get out. Many things have been ruined because of it.
