Has anyone else here switched from liquid laundry detergent in plastic jugs to laundry detergent sheets? I have some on hand that I purchased for lock down hoarding but I want to switch permanently.

If you get them, where do you get them and where have you found as the best prices?

I'm not into spending a ton of money for something that goes down the drain.

TIA!

Amazon has a selection, and I’ve been super-curious.

I like the idea of not spending energy to package and transport water as part of the traditional detergent composition.

If I can find a ‘no scent’ or mild-scented version, I’d like to test one.

The pack I bought off Amazon is still on the pantry shelf over here. Combo pantry/laundry room. I haven't even used it once but I really, really, really, am tired of lugging plastic jugs and then tossing them into the landfill. Plus the detergent sheets would take up FAR less room that the jugs or those big boxes with the scoops.

I think the brand I got was Breezo? Not sure if it's no scent. I'll check it for that.

I still have dryer sheets but I've also got a collection of wool dryer balls now, too. I want to phase out the sheets entirely.

Oh yeah, Breezo fresh linen scent. I prefer fresh air scent.

There are SO many brands of these now and I think there's also a company called Dropps (?) I was interested in but haven't really looked into it.

They are pricey now but I think that eventually the price per wash will come down. I got the money over here so why not, right?

What can I say? I did a load of bedding today and put it outside to dry. It was on my mind when I opened the cap on the last jug of laundry detergent and asked myself "Why am I doing this again?"

This plastic stuff has to go.

Oh yeah see, Dropps is a subscription. Um no, thanks. Price per wash is a giant rip if you ask me.

LOL

The only time I’ve ever seen laundry detergent sheets was several years ago when we were out of town and someone at the hotel where we were staying said they liked them because they were traveling by motorcycle. They could easily pack them.

Sorry I’m no help. I just toss a detergent pod myself.

I haven't considered pods. Anyway the detergent sheets are handy for camping and travel. You can buy small packs of them so you can wash your clothing and not haul around extra clothes. Kinda nice and the larger boxes don't take up hardly any space in your home.

I'm kind of going minimalist over here bit by little bit.

Bonus packing tip: place the sheets into pockets in your packed clothing, so that you don’t even have to remember to add them to the wash once you get around to it. : )
