Product Reviews of Dropps Laundry Pacs, Scent + Dye Free, 20-load pouch (pack of 3)
Product Review: Great for home and travel plus HE machines
Summary: 5 Stars
Have been using these for about 6 months now. Starting because I was looking for an environmentally friendly alternative for laundry. Plus I was hoping to take them at their word, no need for fabric softeners etc. I am happy so far.
Have used them at home in my HE washing machine (HE machines require low sudsing HE type detergents). Have also taken them traveling. The laundry is clean with one pouch (it says use 2 for largest/dirtiest loads - I haven't yet and I'd say I push the load limit sometimes)
I have stopped using fabric softener and the clothes are still soft, although as we head into winter now (dryer/colder here in New England) I do notice more static cling than before. Not enough to add softener, but it is there.
I am very happy and will continue to use this product. The only caveats are that...
1 - I do take them at their word to put the Dropps packet in the washer drum first, then the clothes on top of it. (Not in the detergent cup but in the drum) I have never had a packet NOT dissolve yet - home or away)
2 - When traveling it is a good idea to put the packets you are taking in a hard sided container - like a small food storage container.
Product Review: Great for my Laundry, my Back and the Environment
Summary: 5 Stars
When I bought these, I wasn't expecting a whole lot. A teeny little plastic bag of goo isn't exactly the kind of thing to make me turn cartwheels, and I wasn't even expecting great laundry results. Boy was I ever surprised when I took my laundry out of the washer! Everything was sparkling clean, including my daughter's laundry (brought home from college), greasy dish towels, and a shirt with blood on it. I don't bother to pretreat anything, and used two pouches for a large load, as recommended on the bag.
I have a front loader, which does a pretty good job to begin with, but these pouches brought the laundry to a whole other level. Perfectly clean with stains gone, no cheap perfume smells, and great packaging that keeps my hands clean. I don't wreck my back carrying a huge jug of liquid, and I don't add enzymes or colorizers to the water system. I may have bought this stuff because it was cheap, but I'll keep using it as long as it's available, because it works so very well.
Update: It is now six months since I started buying Dropps, and I haven't even considered anything else. I used two pouches for the first few filthy loads, then decided to try one pouch, just to see how it worked in my front loader. I was thrilled to find that my laundry was even cleaner with one pouch than it had been with two! Why? Because two pouches had been oversudsing my laundry and overwhelming my washer, so items weren't getting as clean as they should. Also, items that aren't rinsed really well are slightly sticky and pick up dirt. Now I use one pouch (never more), and have noticed that my clothes are even cleaner than before! I have a subscription for my Dropps, so I never run out, and I never have the asthma and allergy triggers that happens every time I go into a detergent aisle in the market.
