Win Comfort Pure and a $500 pumpkin patch voucher

If there is one downside to having such a gorgeous large family, it's the laundry. The sheer volume of washing I have to get through each week kills me. I don't mind the putting in the washing machine and hanging out on the line but if someone could invent a machine that took it off the line, folded it and put it in the correct wardrobe - well I'd buy it. It's never ending in this house......7 people no matter how big or small make for a lot of washing.  And let's not even go there to talk about rainy days, sickness, broken washing machines or when the hot water system died 2 days before emerson was born and what those events do to your workload.

yes this is how I get laundry out on the line these days, with my little buddy on me

And so while I like to think that I'm quite the expert on laundry for the family I've never used fabric conditioner before. Just regular powder..............and lots of it. We go through at least 6kgs of powder each month. And so I had to read the instructions on the bottle to see where to put it in my machine. The lovely people at Omo sent me out some Comfort and Comfort Pure to try out and I'm a convert to the Comfort Pure. Everything is now smelling beautiful and is so soft. Take my big thick pink polka dot dressing gown that I'm wearing now. It smells so good - like flowers and baby powder all rolled into one and the smell is supposed to last up to 14 days. And it's perfect for all of emerson's little clothes and hand knits which are now smelling lovely too.

the Comfort goes in the centre thingy

Comfort Pure is made for sensitive skins and is great for babies and children. Plus it smells soooo good. Even the actual laundry room smells nice since I've started using it. And an unexpected benefit is that I've finally gotten rid of the stinky running clothes (retro daddy's of course, not mine) and some smelly towels that no amount of powder could get smelling lovely. I'm looking forward to putting some of my handmade quilts in the machine to get them smelling lovely too. Now I find the smell of the Comfort Pure is a little gentler than the rest of the Comfort range which I also got to try so if you're a little sensitive to smells then this might be what you're after.

if you're going to take a picture like this, please make sure you take the bottles off the machine before you leave the room! I just heard these bottles fall to the floor as the machine was going!

And thanks to the lovely people at Omo I have a special prize up for grabs for one lucky retro mummy reader - some Omo Sensitive and Comfort Pure as well as  a $500 Pumpkin Patch voucher to spend on your family. All you need to do is tell me if you use fabric conditioner and why and I'll pick a random entry this time next week. Please make sure that you are an Australian resident and leave your email address or blog in the comment so I can contact the winner.

Good luck...............

I also received a pumpkin patch voucher and Comfort Pure for this post - I'll be trying to save my voucher for Christmas time - if I can wait that long.
