You might not be a fan of doing laundry, but you might be a fan of today's product for 'Does it Really Work?'

It contains a load's worth of detergent, softener, and anti-static in one sheet.

We went to a local laundromat to try out the Purex 3-in-1 Laundry Sheets.

At the First Street Wash & Dry, Juanita Klingler washes a steady flow of customers' laundry.

"We use our laundry detergent, a color safe bleach, then we'll use our fabric softener. And then when we turn to the dryer, we have our dryer sheet," says Juanita Klingler.

Those three products have been squeezed into one with the Purex 3-in-1 Laundry Sheets.

"This cuts down a lot of time, if it works," says Juanita.

We were off to a good start when it comes to first impressions.

"It does smell good. Smells really nice," says Juanita.

The Tropical Escape is just one of three different scents. The clothes are thrown in...

"It's the boss's laundry, so hopefully it works," says Juanita.

...and we added two sheets since these are double load washers.

Right after the water started we saw suds.

"...so the detergent part works. I'm one of those people, if I'm not seeing bubbles, then it's not cleaning," says Juanita.

The washer cycle ended and the tropical escape scent was still wafting in the air. Sheets are still intact, just minus the detergent and fabric softener.

"They feel like a thicker dryer sheet," says Juanita.

After waiting and waiting the verdict was in on the Purex 3-in-1.

"Feels soft. Smells good," says Juanita.

It looks like our laundry attendant may never have to measure detergent again.

"I really like it honestly. It was nice and convenient to just toss it in with the clothes," says Juanita.

Turning to the Spud-o-Meter...

"Honestly, I'd give it five spuds. I loved it. Works for me with as much laundry as I have to do," says Juanita.

You can pick up a package of 20 sheets at Walgreen's. They cost $6.
