1st Blogoversary Giveaway #5: Tide, Bounce, and Downy Products!

The 5th giveaway in my Blogoversary Celebration will ensure you have the best care when it comes to getting your clothes clean and looking new with Procter & Gamble products!

Tide, Bounce, and Downy

I was first introduced to Tide’s new Total Care detergent, Tide Stain Release in-wash booster, and Bounce Dryer Bar during an exclusive Tide Luncheon I attended while I was at BlogHer.  I got to see first hand how well Tide Stain Release lifts out hard to get rid of stains through a demo that was performed at the luncheon.  Grass stains stood no chance with this powerful in-wash booster as I saw them disappear of white fabric before my very eyes!  At home, I have used both the liquid and duo pacs with equal success and my family’s clothing comes out stain free every time, even with difficult stains such as tomato sauces and chocolate!

Tide Total Care detergent is terrific for keeping your clothes looking brand new.  In over a month’s time using this product, I’ve noticed that our family’s clothing has less fading and less pilling than with other detergents I’ve used in the past.  It does as it promises to maintain your clothing’s condition and with the added benefit of Tide Total Care’s Protective Fiber Complex, you can skip the fabric softener!  It also comes in two scents that I like (Renewing Rain and Cool Cotton) and it’s much more pleasant than the regular Tide Classic Scent that I wasn’t fond of.

Tide Coldwater detergent is fabulous at keeping your cold wash and delicate items clean!  As someone who primarily washes most of her laundry in cold water, it’s crucial I find a detergent that performs in cold temperatures.  I’ve been so impressed at this detergent’s ability to keep my cold wash clothes pristine and looking great!  I also don’t mind that I can save money and energy by continuing to wash my clothes in cold water!

The Bounce Dryer Bar is the neatest invention that’s come to laundry!  I just love the convenience of sticking this dryer bar in the drum of my dryer and not having to use a new dryer sheet and throwing it away with every use.  I stuck my dryer bar parallel and close to one of our dryer fins and it’s stayed put perfectly put through countless of dryer loads.  Our clothes come out fluffy and smelling fresh and I don’t have to worry about replacing the dryer bar for 2-4 months.  It’s been almost two months now and my Bounce Dryer Bar is still going strong.  I’ll know when to replace the bar when the replacement indicator will appear and I can slip a new Bounce Dryer Bar in its place!

I also received Downy Simple Pleasure Liquid Softener in Orchid Allure scent.  I am a scent person and I just love this floral, feminine scent!  It’s a mix of fruity, floral, and musky notes with an exotic twist!  You throw a capful of softener in the wash during the rinse cycle and the lovely fragrance is left behind on your clothes with unbeatable softness and no static cling!  I love using this softener on our clothes that can’t be placed in the dryer that would otherwise be left feeling stiff and crunchy without it!
