 Great for home and travel plus HE machinesDec 04, 2008
By mlkri
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.

Great but overpriced!Jan 12, 2009
By A. Rose
I really do love these. I know they're much more expensive than normal detergent, but it really makes it worth it for the environment.
My only complaint is that it's overpriced on this site. I thought I was getting a decent deal, until I hit walmart and found them for less than $5 a package.
Product = great!.. amazon price = not so much.

Great for my Laundry, my Back and the EnvironmentNov 28, 2008
By K. Varraso
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.

 Misleading advertisingMar 21, 2010
By Delamaine
"Formerly Belacane"
We have a big front loader machine and we do a lot of laundry to keep up with things. Usually, before I tried Dropps, I used less than 1/4 cup of liquid Dreft in the machine. However, those Dreft bottles are enormous and they drip all over the place. For a change of pace we are trying Dropps, the scent- & dye-free type, because of the contact allergies my family suffers with regular detergents.
Unfortunately the Dropps claim of "20 loads" per pouch is misleading. There are 20 pacs per pouch, but Dropps recommends using two pacs per load for a "medium to large load." Since all my laundry loads are big loads, I use 2 pacs each time, which means I'm only getting 10 loads per pouch. Compared to the liquid Dreft, which averages out about 12 cents a load for me, the Dropps are coming in at a whopping 83 cents a load! Sure, they're easier to store and lighter weight so the kids can help with the laundry (sometimes lugging that 100-ounce jug of Dreft around was too much for them), but that's insane. They do clean all right, but I'm going back to Dreft when these get used up. I haven't noticed them being any better or worse than the liquid Dreft.

Great for kids away from home!Sep 16, 2009
By D. M. Epping
We found these in a grocery store in 2007 for our son who goes to boarding school. This has been part of his packing list ever since. Unfortunately, we couldn't find it in stores any more. Glad we found it through the web.
