Review Round-Up - featuring Comfort, Carex and method

There are some great new scents from Comfort, Carex and method, which are helping to make cleaning up so much more sensational for summer.  From laundry to handwashing, there are some great new fragrances available to add some pzazz to the kitchen or bathroom.

Comfort Creations

Created by perfumiers, Comfort has launched some luxurious fabric softeners with sophisticated, long lasting fragrances.  Honeysuckle and Sandalwood, Indian Rose and Musk and Snapdragon and Patchouli fragrances are set to add an extra touch of luxury to laundry.

We were sent a Comfort Creations Indian Rose and Musk fabric conditioner.  With top notes of citrus and apple with a woody background of sandalwood, patchouli, musk and vanilla.  The rose scent brings a touch of romance to the fragrance.  It's a very exotic blend which bursts with musky lusciousness.

The fragrance is sophisticated and long lasting making my washing smell really lovely, fresh and perfumed!

A 33 wash bottle retails for £3.30 from good supermarkets.

method Fresh Currant Handwash

I am a big fan of method products.  They are environmentally friendly, 100% vegan and paraben free.  They also come in some incredible fragrances and vibrant colours.  The new Fresh Currant  handwash is a deliciously fruity formula with notes of blackcurrant, apple and jasmine.  It's just so sniffable! With added vitamin E and aloe it is gentle and nourishing on the skin.  The cheery scent is perfect for the summer and the teardrop bottle looks fabulous in the bathroom or the kitchen. 

We love this new addition to the method range.  It is sold exclusively in Boots for £2.49

Carex Bubble Gum Hand Wash & Strawberry Laces Hand Gel

Encouraging the kids to keep their hands clean is made so much easier with these new Carex products which come in some awesome sweet shop scents.  The new fun edition products will have hands smelling as sweet as candy, as well as keeping them nourished and protected as they kill 99.9% of bacteria.  

The Bubble Gum Hand Wash makes masses of bubble gum scented bubbles which Freddy loves.  It makes hand washing so much fun.  The Strawberry Laces Hand Gel is perfect for popping in your handbag to keep hands sweet smelling and protected from germs on the go. 

The hand wash is available at supermarkets RRP £1.80 and the hand gel is available at Superdrug for £1.45.

Anti-Ageing For Your Clothes!

With three kids living at home and a student daughter who regularly brings home her dirty washing, laundry constitutes up a big chunk of our daily chores.  Trying to keep our clothing looking as good as new for as long as possible is a major consideration.  Many of the girls' clothes are brightly coloured and can fade and look old.  Whites can easily discolour and look dull.

Comfort has come up with Comfort Brights designed to keep both colours and whites bright and vibrant.  I was sent a bottle of both Bright Colour and Bright White to try out for myself.  Anything that can help me with my laundry is gratefully received!

Comfort Bright has a scientific Pro-Bright formula that helps prevent running and fading, keeping clothes looking as dazzling as when they were first bought.  It's suitable for all colours from pastels to deeper shades and even works with stripes and patterns.  It is perfect for maintaining the rich hues of your favourite clothes!

Comfort Whites helps keep our basic whites looking bright and fresh.  It gently enhances the whiteness and radiance of clothing with the Pro-White formula counteracting yellow and grey tones that cause dulling.  The result is radiant whites with all the softness and freshness that Comfort brings.  

I have tried both the Bright Whites and Bright Colours Concentrated Fabric Conditioner in my laundry.  I've never used a separate fabric softener for different coloured loads before, but it makes sense that colours and whites have different needs.  The Bright Colours had a very fresh fragrance.  The Bright Whites' scent was more subtle.

The laundry came out of the machine smelling fresh and clean and it dried with the softness you expect Comfort to deliver.  The clothing retained the softness and freshness and the colours looked bright.  Ella has some new colourful stripy tops and they came out the wash well defined and vibrant.

As Comfort Brights are concentrated they use 50% less packaging per wash so they are as kind on the environment as they are on your clothes.

I hope that using Comfort Brights will keep our clothes looking newer for longer.  The Bright Whites will hopefully keep the girls' school uniform and PE kits looking bright and dazzling throughout the school year!  Ultimately this could save me money...what a great prospect!

RRP £2.25 for 750ml and £3.88 for 1.5ml.  Available nationally.
