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.

Just as good as OxiClean and I like using the pods and having Amazon automatic delivery. Don’t let them sit more than a few months or they get hard and do not dissolve as quickly. I use them in a high efficiency front loading washing machine by throwing them in the drum not in the detergent Drawer. Personally I love Dropps commitment to the environment and sustainability and I use all of their products and do not miss the heavy plastic jugs.

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

Pluses. Easy to handle and use compared to powders and liquids. Comes in paper box vs plastic bottle or plastic zip-top bag. Seems to do the job. I've dropped a star because the I've read negative things about the plastic-like dissolvable coating. Could the stuff be compressed into a large tablet?

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.

When I use a Dropps pod with my front-load HE washer set for "Eco-Warm" the protective coating around the pod does not fully disintegrate and I find it wadded up and stuck to one of my pieces of laundry after I take the laundry out of the dryer. So, I don't recommend using with lower than "Warm" setting. Otherwise, they seem fine and do not leave a scent. I appreciate not adding another plastic container to the environment.

We have used these for 4 years and they work great to scrub clothes clean. My entire family is sensitive to harsh laundry products and fragrances so we were so excited to find these and they work great. Highly recommend.

Easy to use..work fine at controlling washer smells etc.
