Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash Detergent Product Review

Purex provided me with a free sample of their Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash detergent so that I could review it. My opinions expressed here are my own, though, and not influenced by the company in any way. Off to my relaxing, tropical getaway... err, laundry, I mean! ;)



Escape the ordinary with NEW Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash detergent!

Purex brand is proud to present the launch of an exciting new fragrance as part of their Natural Elements line. Exotic fruits like pineapple and coconut combine with distinct flowers to take your nose on a tropical vacation!

As part of Purex's #1 selling Natural Elements brand, this detergent delivers the bright, white, and clean you expect, but with naturally sourced ingredients. Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash offers natural fragrance extracts providing a great scent and a formula gentle enough for sensitive skin. What's more, the biodegradable formula promotes green cleaning products!

Like other Purex detergents, Purex Natural Elements Tropical Splash detergent is optimized to perform in high efficiency or traditional washing machines and costs HALF the price of the leading brand.

Add a Tropical Splash to your laundry room!

-Hypoallergenic, dye free formula for sensitive skin
-Fresh, nature inspired fragrance
-Packs the cleaning power of Purex with DirtLift Action
-Available in 50 oz, 75 oz, and 100 oz sizes

This detergent really got me excited as I absolutely looove fruity/tropical fragrances! Based on the packaging alone, I had a feeling that I was going to love the fragrance. The label was so colorful, tropical, and refreshing. I couldn't wait to see what it actually smelled like. The name Tropical Splash is perfect for this detergent. When I opened the lid and took that first smell, I was immediately hit with a blast of fresh coconut and pineapple! The coconut was much more prominent in my opinion and gave the detergent a very tropical feel to it. (I could see myself buying this as a body wash fragrance and loving it!!) The scent wasn't very strong so I wasn't sure how long it would last on my clothes. Sometimes the fruitier scents don't seem to last as long as the clean/fresh fragrances.

The performance of this detergent was right on par with other Purex detergents that I have previously tried. My laundry ALWAYS comes out clean. While the cleaning power was great (as usual), I can't say that I was thrilled with the level of scent left on my clothes. Normally our whole downstairs is filled with fragrance while running the washing machine but that really didn't happen with this detergent. I could smell the detergent in the laundry room but it didn't go much further than that. Not a big deal since it isn't meant to freshen your home anyway, lol. It's a laundry detergent, not an air freshener! :)

I do like to smell the detergent on the laundry after removing it from the dryer, though, and unfortunately, the fragrance didn't last that long. I could barely smell it when taking the clothes out of the washing machine. I got occasional whiffs of the tropical smell but it wasn't as strong as I would have liked. My Mom on the other hand, LOVED the fragrance as she has sensitive skin and doesn't like a ton of fragrance left on her clothes. This detergent didn't irritate her skin at all and she loved the tropical smell! For her, it was a win win!

I didn't dislike this product at all but the scent just wasn't quite strong enough for me. I still think I prefer the clean/fresh Purex scents over this one. They last longer on my clothes which keeps them smelling fresher, longer! The cleaning abilities of this detergent were great, though, and got my laundry squeaky clean! If you prefer a more subtle fragrance left on your clothes, you would probably really enjoy this product.
