About Purex

A Pure Beginning

Like many great beginnings, Purex began in a garage…

Starting in the family garage, father and son cleaning team, Lionel & Roy used a homegrown recipe to create a pure bleach product packaged in amber pint jars to sell at a non-inflated 15 cents each. It was 1922, and a jar of bleach would typically cost 25 cents. But, Lionel and Roy were determined to provide their quality product to pass savings back to American families. Their homegrown liquid bleach soon found success and was dubbed Purex due to its clear, pure qualities and ability to make the household clean and healthy. Over the years the family worked to expand Purex with a focus on creating useful, everyday need inspired products offered at a non-inflated cost because of their commitment to providing a savings. Quality products has kept Purex in homes across America, throughout the Great Depression to present, as a quality clean that everyone can afford. Now part of the Henkel family, Purex has not lost sight of who we are: our innovative approach to providing a smart value, commitment to quality and passion for creating awesome laundry supplies still shapes all that is Purex.

It's amazing what a little liquid starch can do!
I used this starch to make a hat for a Kentucky Derby party. It started out a flat placemat. I dipped it in the starch and started to form it using a hair dryer to help set it. I ended up using some paper plates and string to hold the shape overnight until it dried and set completely. It worked perfectly!
