"As a mother of three, I spend a lot more time in the laundry room than I'd like," says Ms. Harmon. "I love that Purex Complete 3-in-1 laundry sheets simplify the process by replacing three separate product benefits with one lightweight sheet and eliminate all the measuring, mixing and mess. I feel even better about using Purex Complete 3-in-1 because I know I'm empowering other moms around the world to provide for their families. It's exciting to see how such a simple change in the way I do laundry for my family can make an extraordinary impact in other families' lives."

Consumers can visit www.PurexChangesLives.com to learn about 100 hard-working entrepreneurs and their family businesses and designate one dollar from their purchase of Purex Complete 3-in-1 Laundry Sheets to support the family of their choice. All of the entrepreneurs are moms and can be selected based on geographic region or business sector.

"Women have told us the simple change in their laundry routine of switching to Purex® Complete 3-in-1™ Laundry Sheets has made a huge difference in their lives-one consumer even described it as '1,000 percent better' than her current routine,'" explains Stephen Koven, brand manager, Purex Complete 3-in-1 brand. "We created the Purex Changes Lives program so that this simple change in the laundry room can have a positive impact for your family as well as for families around the world. When you participate in the program, you're giving more than a traditional one-time donation. Contributions from purchases directly empower families to create their own sustainable sources of income and become self-sufficient, which we're confident will inspire our consumers as much as it inspires us."

New Purex® Complete 3-in-1™ Laundry Sheets are the all-in-one laundry solution. Each powerful sheet contains a load's worth of super-concentrated detergent, softener and anti-static in one product. To use, simply drop a laundry sheet into the washer (either standard or high-efficiency), and the blue detergent portion of the sheet is released during the wash cycle. Once the washer has finished, transfer the laundry sheet with clothes to the dryer. The color stripe is heat activated by the dryer to soften clothes and remove static. It's that simple.
