Purex Laundry Detergent

Purex delivers dependable, cost-effective cleaning for high-volume laundry needs — a practical choice for care facilities, group homes, and households that go through a lot of wash. This collection features large 150-ounce liquid bottles that concentrate value into fewer refills, making them well-suited to laundry rooms where downtime and restocking matter.

Two formulas cover the main considerations buyers weigh. The Purex Free & Clear detergent (DIA05020) is unscented and made without added dyes or perfumes — the option to reach for when residents or family members have sensitive skin, or when facility policy calls for fragrance-free products in shared living spaces. If you want a fresh, noticeable finish instead, the Purex Mountain Breeze detergent (DIA05016CT) leaves linens with a clean, familiar scent.

Both are liquid formulas, which dissolve readily in warm and cold water and rinse cleanly from towels, bedding, and clothing without the powder residue that can irritate skin. The 150-ounce bottle size is a common workhorse volume: enough loads per bottle to keep a busy laundry operation running while staying easy to pour and store. For facilities buying by the case, the DIA05016CT is packaged for bulk ordering.

Choosing between them usually comes down to skin sensitivity and scent preference. When in doubt for a mixed population — nursing homes, assisted living, or childcare — the Free & Clear formula is the safer default, since it removes the fragrance and dye variables that most often cause reactions.
