Laundry detergent strips, also known as laundry sheets, are increasingly common online. You're probably wondering what the power of these small sheets is and how they clean your laundry. In this blog, I will explain what laundry strips are, how they work, and why you'll want to switch to this sustainable way of washing!
How do laundry detergent strips work?
Laundry detergent strips are small sheets of ultra-concentrated detergent. Instead of liquid detergent with added water, laundry sheets contain almost no water. However, they have the same cleaning power as other well-known brands of liquid detergent.
You place 1 or 2 strips (depending on the dosage) in the washing machine with the rest of your laundry, or in the dispenser where you normally add detergent. Then, you simply start the washing machine as you normally would.
The laundry detergent strips then dissolve in the water within 10 seconds, leaving your clothes sparkling clean.
Our Holistic-Life laundry detergent strips also contain natural ingredients that soften the laundry without damaging it. This is unlike regular fabric softener, which actually wears out your clothes. That's a nice bonus, isn't it?
Why are laundry detergent strips more sustainable than liquid detergent?
Perhaps you've been using liquid detergent your entire life and see no harm in it. I didn't see any harm in it either until I started researching what's in detergent.
Many detergents contain aggressive chemicals to clean your laundry and make it smell strongly of perfume. Liquid detergent also comes in disposable plastic bottles, while laundry detergent strips are often delivered in plastic-free cardboard boxes.
Additionally, these large plastic bottles take up a lot of space during transport. This means more trucks, etc., are needed to transport them. Laundry detergent strips require significantly less space, allowing more washes per container to be transported. This saves a lot of CO2 emissions!
Are laundry detergent strips healthier?
Yes! Imagine your skin as a sponge, absorbing everything that comes into contact with it. All day long, you wear clothes washed with detergent containing chemical ingredients. You then automatically absorb small amounts of these into your body.
For example, our Holistic-Life laundry detergent strips contain only natural and 100% vegan ingredients. So, it's not a problem if you get it on your skin.
