Dropps Oxi Booster Pods, Unscented (64 Pods) - Chlorine-Free Bleach Alternative Biobased Laundry Whitener & Stain Remover for Extra Tough Stains - Fragrance-Free & Hypoallergenic for Sensitive Skin

I first look for no plastic packaging or reduced plastic packaging if no plastic isn't available, and then I look for which product works well.In this case, the oxy clean works very well, and the packaging is cardboard recycle, and no plastics.So I am happy. After reading some other reviews, I see some are saying pods aren't dissolving, and see most have from loading washing machines, but my machine is top loading and i drop pod in while water is filling and before putting in clothes, so perhaps that is key to success....I don't know. I have never had a problem in any way. Clothes come out great.I recently switched from a liquid, plastic jug laundry detergent (and plastic pouch refills to jug) to a laundry concentrate sheet that is dry and comes in cardboard packaging. In this case, Arm & Hammer laundry detergent sheets, which has the added benefit of very little space storage and no accidental spills. It works well. I do tear the sheet up into smaller pieces to dissolve while water fills machine and then add clothes. Never a problem.

In general, we don't get tough stains on our laundry so I can't speak to how it compares to stain removers but for every day laundry it works great. For us, it is an affordable, easy to use product that is safer on the environment.

Love this product, as I am eliminating as much plastic from my purchases as possible.

Sometimes the pods did not dissolve, whether in warm or cold water. For athletic clothes or sheets, I am now using something stronger.

I was cutting down on my use of plastics and found that I really liked the Dropps laundry pods so I bought these boosters to add to my whites or heavier soiled items. I have never had a problem with them not dissolving even in cool water. I have an agitator machine and place the pods at the back of the empty washer under where the water enters and before adding clothes.I like the unscented laundry products to avoid adding perfumes which can irritate my skin.
