How Does It Work?
Simply drop laundry sheet into washer, the detergent is released during the wash cycle. Once wash is complete, transfer the laundry sheet with clothes to dryer. The stripe is heat activated by the dryer to soften and remove static. It’s that simple.
Nah, that stuff wouldn't work at all for travel, it's too fragile.
According to the company website, you're supposed to buy a starter kit with a protective dispenser to store it in. Yes, you read that right, a
protective dispenser for laundry products.
From the website linked above:
Product Description
Purex® Complete 3-in-1™ Laundry Sheets come in three scents and are available in two package types – a Starter Kit (1 Dispenser + 20 Laundry Sheets) and a value Refill Pouch (24 Laundry Sheets).
The Starter Kit includes a refillable Dispenser that makes it simple to protect and access Purex Complete 3-in-1™ Laundry Sheets. Once you have the Dispenser, simply purchase the money-saving Refill Pouch to fill the convenient Dispenser.
Also, I find myself skeptical how well a product can both clean your clothes of residue and coat them in a new type of residue (which is basically what fabric softener and anti-static treatments are). Then there's the
toxins found in fabric softeners, but that's probably an OMNI topic.
