Tru Earth Dry Laundry Detergent Sheets, Lilac Breeze, 768 Loads

I’ve been using Tru Earth Compact Dry Laundry Detergent for several years now, and I’m really impressed. The sheets are incredibly compact, which makes them perfect for storage and travel. No more bulky plastic jugs taking up space in the laundry room or ending up in the recycling bin—just a slim, lightweight package that’s easy to handle. The fresh linen scent is pleasant without being overpowering, and clothes come out smelling clean and feeling soft. In terms of general cleaning power, these strips are absolutely comparable to the big-name liquid detergents I’ve used in the past—possibly even better, considering how little mess they make. They also work perfectly in both standard washing machines and high-efficiency (HE) models—we’ve owned both types, and the results have been consistently great. I can’t comment much on how well they tackle heavy stains, since we usually pre-treat spots with a separate product. Honestly, I’ve found that no detergent alone (Tru Earth or any other brand) ever fully gets rid of stubborn stains, so we haven’t expected miracles in that area. Overall, these detergent strips are an environmentally friendly, affordable option that delivers excellent everyday cleaning results. If you’re looking to cut down on plastic waste and simplify your laundry routine without sacrificing performance, I’d definitely recommend giving Tru Earth a try.

I have sensitive skin so I'm always careful with laundry detergent, but this one hasn't bothered me at all. It gets the clothes clean easily, including ick from being sick in bed. It dissolves easily with no residue and takes up very little room with the small size. Overall it leaves clothes fresh and is better for the environment so a win!

I wanted to get away from traditional laundry detergents for a while but the eco friendly brands were not good at cleaning clothes. I tried multiple different options and was not satisfied. Either the clothes smelled worse than when I put them in the wash, were not clean or there was residue from the sheets not dissolving fully. A couple years ago I started working for a B Corp. So I check labels now in order to support other B Corps. That’s how I came across Tru Earth. Being a B Corp gives me peace of mind. But it also works better than any of the other brands I tried. If you’re tired of trying to find a good, eco friendly product, stop here. I get the Fresh Linen detergent and fabric softener. Here are a few tips to get the best out of this product and enjoy it the way you should as a consumer. 1. Add a few clothes to the bottom of the washer first then put in the sheets, then add more clothes. This product does not leave residue like others but it can if you throw them on top or put them in in the bottom. 2. Use a full sheet unless you only washing a couple items. 3. Add a 1/4 cup of vinegar into the bleach compartment. This is a must. This product is way better than other products but it’s not filled with all the chemicals in regular detergent that make our clothes soft and smelly good. Vinegar kicks this product into overdrive. Don’t add more than a 1/4 cup or you’ll smell the vinegar, but that quarter cup makes your clothes soft your towels soft and boosts that fresh linen scent. It’s amazing and I thank my daughter-in-law for this tip. 4. Keep a good spot treatment handy. With the help of the vinegar, the Tru Earth gets your clothes clean but it’s not good for stains. Eg red hot sauce. You can’t just leave stains alone with eco friendly detergents. You need to treat them ASAP or good luck. If I get s stain I put it under cold water (never hot) and rinse as much as possible then treat it. It usually comes out first wash. Check before you put it in the dryer. Once that stain meets with heat it’s there and getting it out will be a pain. I promise you that if you use these tips this product will be a game changer for you. You’ll never go back to that chemical filled junk. If you compost, rip that packaging up when you’re done and toss it in. All around better for you, better for the planet.

We have been using the TruEarth laundry sheets now for quite a while. When you buy jugs of detergent, you are truly paying for a lot of water in the product. You also need to dispose of all those jugs. Even if you buy the smallest jug of the most highly concentrated soap, it is still a lot that goes to the dump over the years. And not enough of plastic jugs and bottles get recycled. First time my wife heard of these detergent sheets, she was excited. I was skeptical. How is it that we are truly only using THAT MUCH actual SOAP to wash a WHOLE LOAD? Took a bit for me to get used to just one half sheet works for a whole load. We DO sometimes add the whole sheet if we have been working outside a lot. We tried two other brands - she reacted to the first one with skin rashes everywhere. I reacted to the second one with a horrible rash on my feet from my socks. So our next attempt was TruEarth - my wife has super sensitive skin and immune system, while i do not. TruEarth is the ONLY one that has not caused either of us to have a problem. When she realized how neither of us reacted to TruEarth, she rewashed literally ALL our laundry in the first package and ordered more! We chose the unscented, which she loves, and it dissolves easily in warm or cold water in our top loading washing machine. I will say that when our WINTER water comes in and it is SUPER cold, the TruEarth sheets don't dissolve as easily and once or twice they left tiny blobs on a couple of articles of clothing. That was easily remedied by rewashing the load on a short cycle. It was also remedied by ALWAYS making sure in winter we toss the sheet into warm water before starting a whole load. This can easily be done by adding a little hot water into the washer first, pausing the cycle, adding the soap sheet, and when dissolved, switch the load to cold or warm and continue as a regular load. OR you can have a small container of hot water handy (she uses an old quart size yogurt or cottage cheese tub), place a sheet in, load the washer as usual, then dump the dissolved laundry soap into your washer just like you would a liquid detergent. I will say, this is not an issue for just TruEarth. My wife and I had to dissolve all three brands in warm or hot water when it was cold outside. But we DO live over 3,000 feet in the Appalachians and our winter water is LIKE ICE some days. Removing stains: this product is great at removing grass stains, dirt stains from the gardens, spilled foods (grease or oil need extra treatments, but that is normal for us), and even baby spit up. We haven't had to pretreat anything since starting to use TruEarth except for oil or grease stains. Oh, it also removes stench, stink and smells easily, too. Definitely a product we regularly recommend to family and friends.

Effective detergent, clothes come out beautifully clean and fresh. The packaging is earth-friendly thin cardboard, light to pick up and detergent sheets easy to pull out. It is satisfying to get clean clothes without polluting earth!

Amazing product. unbelievable. I encourage everyone to try. It surprised me. I was looking for a non plastic laundry soup, I gave a try to Tru Earth and my clothes came out whiter and vivid colorful. All types of fabrics were more soft without using anyothet product. I have two kids doing sports and I used to wash with Tide, extra Oxiclean and softener. Now the clothes are cleaner and the fabric is softer with just one product.

I've been using these for a few months now. Here are my thoughts. Are these sustainable? I think so. This is a great idea. No more need for big plastic jugs. Comes in paper packaging that can be recycled. I feel better about my minimized carbon footprint (albeit the fact that I have to get these delivered from Amazon which is an issue in of itself. But I got into the habit of only needing to order about 4 packs of these a month to last in between deliveries and minimize deliveries). Does it dissolve in the wash? Yes. I have a top loading machine. I use two strips minimum at a time and place them directly where the water will pour down. Never had an issue of residue strips leftover in the machine. Does it clean? Kind of. For lightly soiled clothes, it's fine, but I can't rationalize only using one strip...I'll use two. For regularly soiled clothes (I have a toddler so think dirt/mud on white socks and food stains on shirts), I'll use two to three strips (less for small loads and more for bigger loads), and no, the clothes dont come out completely stain free, white, and clean had I used other detergents (like oxiclean). Also, after a few months of using these, I've been noticing a bit of fade in my colors. Because of COVID19, this doesn't matter for our 'at home' clothes, but I am worried about having to use them for my work clothes when I have to go back into the office (blacks, etc). I'm thinking I'll reserve the strips for regular clothes and use special detergent (woolite) for nicer clothes when I go back to work, so the goal of not having to buy big plastic jugs wont be entirely fulfilled. Do these smell good? Yes and no. I get what some people are saying that they dont make your clothes smell good. The strips themselves smell good. But during and after a wash, the clothes smell gross, sort of like dirty water. After drying with a Bounce dryer sheet, the clothes smell good. Never tried it without a dryer sheet, since I dont use fabric softener in the wash. Are these a good bang for my buck? These are definitely more expensive than regular liquid detergent. Each pack says it can wash 32 loads, but because I have to use more than 1 strip to get clothes more clean, I dont even get 32 loads. So I probably go through 3 packs a month for all my clothes (me, my husband, my toddler, plus sheets, towels, etc). So, no, these aren't economical, but I take comfort in knowing I'm not contributing to a lot of plastic waste. I'm hoping these guys can improve their product to be stronger, more concentrated per strip AND bring their price down as time goes on. Conclusion? They're ok and I'll keep using them, unless I find a better plastic free product...though I hope they improve their product.

These work well - actually much better than the liquid brands we used. We love them for traveling too - it's so lightweight and easy to put some in a baggy and pack for doing laundry as you go. These would work well for college students or apartment dwellers too. I love that they have a much lower environmental impact and less waste - no plastics to recycle! This should be the norm - not an alternate.

Powerful cleaning with zero waste

Ottimo prodotto. Ho terminato la prima scatola e ne acquisterò una seconda. Sono molto soddisfatta dalla qualità del lavaggio. Non lascia residui e non appesantisce i capi. Apprezzo la scelta coraggiosa di rinunciare alla profumazione del prodotto in favore di un minor impatto ambientale. Confezione in cartone. Peccato per il costo elevato ma rispetto ad altre marche mi sembra possieda caratteristiche di maggior sostenibilità ambientale.

Easy to use! It didn’t have any sense, so I can add some essential oils to it. Love this product so much.

It gets delivered in my mailbox. Completely fragance-free when laundry is dry. Takes almost no space in the bathroom, and no more draging detergent home. I love the smell of roasted peanuts when the laundry is wet, but dissapears when dry. Both lighter and darker colors washes completely clean. For my extremely allergergic family of 5, SUPER. No skin irretations or resperatory problems.

Smells good, easy to use, and eco friendly.
