dropps (Clean Scent, 140 Count) - HE Stain & Odour Laundry Detergent Pacs, Clean Scent, 140 Loads

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).

I love this laundry detergent!! I originally bought a pack of 140 of these for my fiancé and I and they lasted us a year. I ordered the clean linen scent and it does not leave a noticeable scent on your clothes. I will keep buying these for life as I have been trying to reduce my environmental impact, plus they are way easier to use than traditional laundry detergent and very affordable. The only issue I had when first buying these is that I often use cool or cold water when doing laundry, which sometimes prevents laundry pods from dissolving all the way. I've had this same issue in the past with tide pods so it's definitely not unique to this product. Luckily Dropps sells a cold water washing pouch on their website (I haven't seen it on Amazon unfortunately) that you can put the pods in. Then if any residue is left behind it sticks to the pouch and doesn't get on your clothes. It works like a charm and I've never bothered cleaning the pouch on the few times there has been residue, I just throw it back in the wash with another pod the next time I do laundry and it cleans itself.

As advertised.

Love the product. Hate the packaging. The packaging is flimsy and doesn't hold up to Amazon shipping. Everytime I get a new order all the pods are all over the shipping bag because the box opened or broke in shipping. So I have to use a ziplock bag to keep the pods in. The product is great. Love the scent and they work just as good as the regular brands but more enviornmentally friendly.

I have bought this probably 10+ times and have loved it. I’ve tried a couple of different scents and the crisp breeze is by far my favorite. The ONLY downside to this is I feel like I sometimes use 3 pods per load just to be sure there is enough soap for a bigger load so I go through it a lot faster then I think I should. For normal size loads I always use 2 pods. I have babies and feel super comfortable using it on their clothes. I have super sensitive skin and have had no issues with it.
