Getting Your Child to Help with Chores + Purex® PowerShot DetergentGiveaway

I recently had the opportunity to review Purex® PowerShot Detergent that makes doing laundry a breeze! I have been trying to get my daughter more involved in our family chores because not only does she ask to help all the time (which I'm trying to enjoy because I know it won't last long), but also because I want to start giving her an allowance soon and start teaching her about earning stuff instead of just being given everything. So helping out with laundry, I felt, was the first step.


I take the clothes out of the washer and she puts them in the dryer. Then I hand her the separated clothes and she puts them in the dryer. (I am also working on getting her to help with the dishes and vacuuming, but I'm not holding my breathe!) After the clothes were in the washer, we were usually done, but now thanks to Purex® PowerShot Detergent she can help put this easy measure liquid detergent in without any spills!

    I would like to try Purex PowerShot because it seems like such a time saver! I also love how easy it is, my husband could finally help with laundry! The last time I let him help he over measured the detergent and we ended up with a laundry room FULL of bubbles!

  2. I have tried other purex products and I love them. Purex powerShot seems like it is easy to use. I can not wait to try this purex product as well.

  4. I have grown adults that think they need to add TONS of laundry detergent. I've even made my own, and it seems to disappear faster than what it should. THIS WOULD BE PERFECT!

  5. I would like to try the Purex powershot detergent as I have always liked using Purex in the past. I love the auto refill as my teen daughter does the laundry as well and i'm trying to teach her how to use the detergent in moderation. She seems think you need a lot of detergent for the clothes to come out clean.

  6. I just made a chart with smiley faces. When they finish, they get a smiley face! No other reward and it's enough for them.

  7. My 4 year old helps, she delivers folded laundry to the room it belongs in. I do laundry for 7 people and hurry to get the next load started, so I know I over use laundry detergent.

  8. Our kids think that chores are just a part of everyday life. Usually they are helping us do things, not doing them on their own. For instance, I tell them to sweep while I vacuum, and they feel like they are helping me.

  9. I love this design, definitely would like to try this out. My daughter is still really young so we are making games out of picking things up. We just make sure to do it every day at the same times!

  10. I have a hard enough time getting hubby to help with laundry! This would simplify the "how much" question!

    ReplyDelete
  11. I'd love to try Purex because my daughters definitely know how to stain their clothes! I get my oldest to help with chores by telling her she's my big helper, and giving her a penny when she completes a chore. After 5 pennies, she gets to "buy" a treat, like watching Frozen or having a YumEarth lollipop. :)

  12. My daughter LOVES to help with chores, that involve mommy. So dishes/sweeping/laundry are her favorites. Now for HER chores like picking up toys or making her bed, I have yet to master that one haha ah children.

  15. I was fortunate with my son as he wanted to help out. He'd dust and vacuum. Not that well at first but he got the hang of it. Purex is my favorite detergent and would love to try this new version. :)

  16. My child is only 15months, so I'm usually trying to convince her not to 'help' me with chores at this point. We use Purex detergent, so would like to try out the new Power Shot and compare. Thanks!

  17. My toddler loves to help! I just have to say "you want to be like mommy?" and she comes running. Purex is our favorite around here!

    Used Purex for a long time and think this would make it less chance of drips. Thanks for the chance.

  22. I love Purex laundry detergent so trying their new product would be great! I use chores with my 2 & 4 year old to earn snacks. As chores for them is more of stuff to get them to learn as they get older such as picking up after themselves, helping load the washer/dryer, putting their clothes away in the right drawer, sweeping the floor with their own personal little brooms, that sort of thing.

    I like Purex products and would love to try this. I really like the simplicity of the 1 flip or 2 flips for quantity.

  37. My kids have to help with chores- everyone pitches in here because we have 12 people in our family and understand everyone must do their part to make it easy for everyone. Everyday after school we have 20 minutes of chore time and then an hour on the weekend and it helps keep the house clean and I pick up the rest of the slack :)

  38. We give my daughter an allowance. If she doesn't do her chores, she doesn't get her money.

  39. I learned early on that you can expect your children to take care of certain chores as part of their routine. Clear their plates, put their clothes in the wash, etc. It's part of their routine.
