The older I get, the harder I find it to lift that heavy container of laundry detergent to put it in the machine. I wondered if there was a better way one day while doing laundry. I was tossing in a dryer sheet when the thought occurred to me: if there are dryer sheets, could there be detergent sheets?
Hmmmmm.......so I sat down at my computer and pulled up Amazon. I typed in laundry detergent sheets and was amazed to see there were many of them. I browsed through them because there were specific things I needed in laundry soap. I ran across a brand that had everything I was looking for and more:
1. Safe for Pets and Kids
2. Hypoallergenic - perfect if you have sensitive skin like me
3. Eco Friendly and Biodegradable including the packaging, no plastic!
4. Light to pick up and portable - great for traveling!
5. Takes up very little space for all the laundry that it does.
6. Free of many nasty chemicals and other things that you will find in many other detergents like: dyes, bleach, phosphates, paraben, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene.
How to Use Detergent Sheets
I was also impressed with the price, less than $10 for 200 sheets. But I wondered, do you just use one sheet per wash? The answer for that was right on the box.....probably in case you are rather forgetful, like me!
I decided to give it a try, so a ordered a box. When it arrived, I loved the fact there was no plastic, and the box can be easily pulled open and pushed closed. It's so small I just place it on a small shelf over my washing machine. But the proof is the the washing, (so to say) so I started out with a hard test: my husbands gardening clothes. They would be a job for any detergent, but I didn't want to go soft on the first test.
I used two sheets, and I was impressed with the job that it did. It took out the sweat stains and the dirt and other stains that were on his t shirts and jean shorts. It did a great job. I also tried it on my own lighter and more fragile clothing and it did an equally good job using only one sheet.
Great for All Kinds of People
Carrying these small, light boxes is a blessing, but not just for me, they are also great for:
- People with disabilities
- People that live in an apartment buildings with washers in the basement
- People that have to use a laundromat
- People that travel, either for business or with the family to a cabin for vacation
- People that have to take public transportation or walk to the store to shop.
Recommendation
Zimwin's Laundry Detergent Sheets are a winner and something I will be using from now on. They are so light and simple to use. Just slide open the small box, take out a sheet, drop it in and you are good to go. They also do a great job cleaning clothes. I highly recommend this product.
Wow! This is pretty incredible. I can definitely appreciate the benefits of laundry detergent sheets over the heavy liquid, especially since I have a hard time getting my "free and gentle" detergent. I am certain my mother would prefer these sheets too. I need to get a box and give her part of it to try too. This is pretty awesome! I wouldn't mind giving up the heavy laundry detergent bottle at all. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe past few years, I have had to buy the smaller bottles of detergent as the large bottles have gotten too heavy for me to lift comfortably. I also now live in an apartment and laundry room space is more limited than it was in a house. So these laundry detergent sheets would be perfect. Thanks for introducing me to them, Tracey and for explaining them so well in your review.
ReplyDeleteThese laundry detergent sheets do sound terrific! I love that they are both effective and environmentally friendly. Thanks so much for the recommendation!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is very convenient for all the reasons you listed! Especially for those who can't lift heavy containters. I love the use of these for apartment dwellers as well. I had no idea such a product existed.
