Tru Earth Compact Dry Laundry Detergent - Up to 128 Loads 64 Sheets - Paraben-Free - Original Eco-Strip

I’ve been using Tru Earth Compact Dry Laundry Detergent for several years now, and I’m really impressed. The sheets are incredibly compact, which makes them perfect for storage and travel. No more bulky plastic jugs taking up space in the laundry room or ending up in the recycling bin—just a slim, lightweight package that’s easy to handle. The fresh linen scent is pleasant without being overpowering, and clothes come out smelling clean and feeling soft. In terms of general cleaning power, these strips are absolutely comparable to the big-name liquid detergents I’ve used in the past—possibly even better, considering how little mess they make. They also work perfectly in both standard washing machines and high-efficiency (HE) models—we’ve owned both types, and the results have been consistently great. I can’t comment much on how well they tackle heavy stains, since we usually pre-treat spots with a separate product. Honestly, I’ve found that no detergent alone (Tru Earth or any other brand) ever fully gets rid of stubborn stains, so we haven’t expected miracles in that area. Overall, these detergent strips are an environmentally friendly, affordable option that delivers excellent everyday cleaning results. If you’re looking to cut down on plastic waste and simplify your laundry routine without sacrificing performance, I’d definitely recommend giving Tru Earth a try. Read more

No more big plastic detergent bottles that have to be recycled. And this stuff works great. My clothes smell great and are as clean as with the detergent. Read more

Works great. Love the clean scent. These sheets are so easy to use and no more struggling with heavy containers. Read more

I really like Tru Earth. I like the idea of not throwing more plastic in the landfills. Most times I use half a sheet of I have torn it into pieces, put the sheet in whole, placed it in the detergent dispenser and put it directly in with the clothes. It always completely dissolves. It smells fresh and cleans the clothes perfectly. Read more

I have been using Tru Earth Laundry sheets for a few years. It dissolves quickly and completely. It cleans my clothes well. I like the fact it comes in a cardstock weight envelope and not a heavy plastic container. I only wish it had a little scent ,like a fresh linen , to it. Read more

Love this! Although a little expensive, it cleans well, smells nice and is easy to carry home! It has the added benefit knowing I am not contributing to landfills with plastic jugs. Highly recommend Read more

Perfect for traveling and just small enough that they take up very little space in your suitcase. We take 6 each time we go on a cruise. When washing a small load we just cut a sheet in half or thirds and handwash our things. Read more

I've been using these for a few months now. Here are my thoughts. Are these sustainable? I think so. This is a great idea. No more need for big plastic jugs. Comes in paper packaging that can be recycled. I feel better about my minimized carbon footprint (albeit the fact that I have to get these delivered from Amazon which is an issue in of itself. But I got into the habit of only needing to order about 4 packs of these a month to last in between deliveries and minimize deliveries). Does it dissolve in the wash? Yes. I have a top loading machine. I use two strips minimum at a time and place them directly where the water will pour down. Never had an issue of residue strips leftover in the machine. Does it clean? Kind of. For lightly soiled clothes, it's fine, but I can't rationalize only using one strip...I'll use two. For regularly soiled clothes (I have a toddler so think dirt/mud on white socks and food stains on shirts), I'll use two to three strips (less for small loads and more for bigger loads), and no, the clothes dont come out completely stain free, white, and clean had I used other detergents (like oxiclean). Also, after a few months of using these, I've been noticing a bit of fade in my colors. Because of COVID19, this doesn't matter for our 'at home' clothes, but I am worried about having to use them for my work clothes when I have to go back into the office (blacks, etc). I'm thinking I'll reserve the strips for regular clothes and use special detergent (woolite) for nicer clothes when I go back to work, so the goal of not having to buy big plastic jugs wont be entirely fulfilled. Do these smell good? Yes and no. I get what some people are saying that they dont make your clothes smell good. The strips themselves smell good. But during and after a wash, the clothes smell gross, sort of like dirty water. After drying with a Bounce dryer sheet, the clothes smell good. Never tried it without a dryer sheet, since I dont use fabric softener in the wash. Are these a good bang for my buck? These are definitely more expensive than regular liquid detergent. Each pack says it can wash 32 loads, but because I have to use more than 1 strip to get clothes more clean, I dont even get 32 loads. So I probably go through 3 packs a month for all my clothes (me, my husband, my toddler, plus sheets, towels, etc). So, no, these aren't economical, but I take comfort in knowing I'm not contributing to a lot of plastic waste. I'm hoping these guys can improve their product to be stronger, more concentrated per strip AND bring their price down as time goes on. Conclusion? They're ok and I'll keep using them, unless I find a better plastic free product...though I hope they improve their product. Read more
