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’ve been using these for a couple of years and my boyfriend and I both love them!I’ve never had an issue with these leaving residue or odor. My boyfriend is a framing contractor and his clothes are often filthy- never once have we had an issue with odors remaining after washing.He also has Psoriasis, so we have to be very selective with detergents. Again, Dropps have never caused a problem.Like another reviewer said, I usually put the pod into my top loader first with the water running to ensure it dissolves completely. However, I was washing a large load of blankets the other day and decided to throw a second pod in on top after the blankets were loaded (after washing I realized the second pod was totally unnecessary- the scent was a little too strong with two) and there is no residue.I can only assume the people having issues may have machines in need of service.I’ve also never had issues with delivery or packaging. All pods have arrived in great shape with no damage to the packaging. I love that I can toss the empty boxes into our wood stove or recycling bin. No wasteful plastic!Definitely try it! They sell smaller packages if you aren’t sure, but we do a lot of laundry and the large box seems to last forever. I think the last box lasted most of the year (two people and two dogs in our household)

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.
