CRUELTY FREE, PLASTIC-FREE (confimed) & bio-sourced. Wonderful company! This product as as good or better than the best laundry pod on the market. I did a large load that had odors and it came out fresh, clean and wonderful smelling! Like Other reviewers, I suggest 3 pods for a normal load and 4-5 for large or super soiled loads. They are small pods, but powerful. I wanted to be sure the company didn’t use plastic in their “casing” surrounding each pod, so I emailed them. They got back to me right away with this: “ The casing (film) on Dropps laundry and dishwasher capsules is made from PVOH (Polyvinyl Alcohol). This isn’t traditional plastic—it’s a water-soluble polymer that dissolves completely during use, so the active ingredients stay off your skin and there’s no mess. Dropps has thoroughly tested this material for biodegradability and environmental safety, and there’s no microplastic formation as defined by California state standards. PVOH is also listed in the EPA’s CleanGredients database and meets Safer Choice standards, highlighting its environmental credentials. In addition, all packaging is recyclable paperboard, not plastic, aligning with a commitment to reducing single-use plastics.” Great company…great product….great for animals, your family and the earth.

Of all the laundry sheet brands I have used, these dropps do a far better job, rinse clean and leave laundry smelling fresh out of washer without any fragrance. Read more
I really liked these laundry pods when they first came out. They smelled fresh and light. Then, they had to change the scents. Now they smell like a weird cloying chemical factory. Such a shame. They work well. Read more
These work better than Tide pods and are so much more eco-friendly. The only disappointment was that they changed from the sturdy brown boxes to super flimsy colored boxes, so every delivery since has some smashed pods and leakage. I understand for retail but for Amazon, PLEASE ship in the sturdier boxes!! Read more
I've been using this brand since they spent some time in Costco, and have been entirely satisfied with the performance. I have hard water and a very large machine so I use 2 dropps per load, but it is extremely effective and doesn't lose effectiveness with cold water, though I prefer to generally use warm water... The liquid state of detergent ensures that there are no detergent spots from powder piles. I find that the greases and dirts i encounter as a trucker get effectively cleaned in a single wash. combined with this brand's softener offering my clothes aren't harsh from the hard water. the biological based formula is effective and a comfort level for my septic system.

I, like many of the previous reviewers, really liked the idea of an environmentally responsible laundry detergent. I would have preferred a sample size as a try-before-you-buy rather than forking over nearly $30 for 140 pods that I may or may not like, but so far I am not disappointed with my purchase. Previous reviewers mentioned that the casing of the pod does not dissolve in cold water. I don't wash in any other temperature so I just did what we do with all the pods we've ever purchased and swished it around in the water by hand before adding clothes. The casing was either not dissolving or dissolving VERY slow. Rather than take a chance due to some of the other reviews, after all the detergent had been released from the capsule I pulled the casing and threw it in the garbage. I'm not happy about trying to be eco-smart and then throwing away something that I'm not totally convinced is going to break down, but I did not want to have the issue others have mentioned where the casing glues to their clothing. The smell is very light and clean, not overpowering or perfumed at all. I found it very pleasant and my clothes kept that scent even after drying with nothing but unscented wool dryer balls (also a first time thing). How effective are these at cleaning your clothes? The clothing I washed in my trial load were: 1 set of cycling bib shorts worn for a 20 mile ride, 1 pair of yoga capris worn for a 4 mile walk, 2 quick-drying athletic shirts worn for the above activities, a pair of underwear, and 2 pairs of socks. I live in southern Florida and it is hot and humid so any physical activity can create a lot of moisture and odor. I washed my load on medium load size, tap cold wash, and used the heavily soiled cycle. I used one laundry pod and, as noted above, dissolved it in the water by hand before adding clothes. When the cycle was complete, I did the smell test. The chamois on my bike shorts and the armpits of my shirts smelled fresh with no lingering odors whatsoever. I am VERY impressed. I have not worn any of my clothes yet so I cannot speak in regard to skin irritations or allergic reactions, but I've known people that couldn't use Tide or they broke out in hives (and had no known allergies prior to this) so I would imagine some people may be sensitive to this as well. So far I am very pleased with my purchase and can't wait to try the dishwasher pods (I still haven't convinced my boyfriend that dishwashers are unnecessary lol). Read more
Great product for cleaning and stain removal. BUT, there is WAAAAAY too much fragrance in this "odor and stain" version of the product. To say it is overpowering would be an understatement. Choose another version of this product if you are sensitive to perfumes ir strong fragrances Read more
I've been using Dropps for about a year now and find them ecologically responsible (no plastic jug to recycle) and easy to use. They get clothes clean and fresh smelling. Read more
