Woolite sample and share with Crowdtap

Recently I was approved to be a part of a sample and share with Woolite on Crowdtap, http://bit.ly/m9tKnm. I was sent samples to share with my friends to try the new Woolite Extra Dark for Jeans and dark clothes. sadly since the samples came a little late, I wasn't able to share with everyone that I wanted to share with because so many were out of town  right before school starts this year. So what I did was had a few friends drop off their husbands military uniforms and I did a load of uniforms using a Woolite sample. To be quite honest I didn't see much of a difference. I guess its hard to tell when you use it after you have already washed clothes in other detergents before trying Woolite to see how it will keep it looking like new. I then did a load of my son's jeans since school is coming up and could really use for his jeans to look new longer so they don't wear out as fast. Same again that I didn't really see much of a change or difference using the Woolite on them with just one wash and the clothes had previously been washed with other detergents. Finally for myself I have recently purchased a new King size comforter for my bed and was needing to wash it for the first time. I was terrified at what the results would be of washing it. Other comforters have "bunched" in the washer, started to get the "rub" spots where the material rubs together and makes those little fuzzies and pieces that you usually have to remove with a fabric shaver. So I decided to take a sample of the Woolite with me to the laundry mat to see if it made a difference on my comforter. I have to say that with this one I was seriously surprised. My comforter came out looking as new as when I had put it in the washer! I do have to say that if you are starting from the first wash with Woolite Extra Dark, it helps alot and keeps things looking new. The colors in my comforter had not faded any, the shape all stayed like new, and the fabric did not get that worn or rubbed look either. So over all, with the comforter, I would have to say I am overly satisfied with Woolite! I am certain that with what it did for my comforter, that if I had washed brand new jeans or was washing the uniforms for the first time, that I would have seen the same results out of one wash with Woolite. I do have to say that I will be purchasing a bottle of Woolite Extra Dark especially for use with my Comforter.

I sent 2 samples with each of the 4 friends I still had here that I could give samples to (one only got one sample). Three of the 4 have gotten back to me. One tried her samples on her own load of her husbands uniforms. She used the first sample on a load and then waited and used her second sample on that same load when she had to wash the uniforms again a week later. She said she liked how it seemed to preserve the fabric of the uniforms. When you wash clothes, the fabric seems to get more worn with each wash, and she said with her 2 washes with the Woolite, that the clothes didn't feel like the clothes had gotten the full worn wear that they usually would after washing them. Another friend used each of her samples of 2 separate loads of jeans. She didn't notice a difference in the clothes after they were washed. The third friend commented on the fragrance of the detergent. She said that she liked how they clothes smelt after they were washed with the Woolite extra dark.
