Zero-Waste Laundry Sheets: All You Need To Know
What are Laundry Detergent Sheets?
They’re a waste free alternative to conventional liquid laundry detergents and pods. And unlike liquid detergent, sheets create no mess.
Do Laundry Detergent Sheets Work?
Plain and simple: YES! Our Laundry Detergent Sheets pack a ton of stain-fighting cleaning power into a tiny, pre-measured strip of detergent. They are designed to clean your clothes effectively only with key cleaning ingredients and no unnecessary toxic chemicals. The sheets COMPLETELY dissolve in the wash within seconds and provide you with a soft, fresh, clean load of laundry every time.
How much should I use?
Each laundry detergent sheet is pre-measured so you don’t have to deal with the hassle of spillage and measuring. You can use one full sheet for a heavily soiled or extra large load, or tear it in half to use one strip for a normal wash.
There are 40 sheets per box, and because you only need one half-sheet per standard load, that’s 80 loads per box! (For those doing the mental math, that’s about 20 cents per load — making it significantly less expensive).
HOW TO USE:
Top-loading machine: Detach a strip. Put clothes into washer drum. Put strip(s) on top of the clothes, under the water flow. Select cycle & wash as normal.
Front-loading machine: Detach a strip. Put strip(s) into washer drum. Put clothes into washer drum. Select cycle & wash as normal.
