Do laundry sheets clean as well as laundry pods? It’s the question we get asked more than any other, so we tested it on ourselves. 13 of the toughest stains, on cotton swatches, left to dry in overnight — far harder to shift than a fresh spill. Wine, tomato, soy sauce, oil, mustard, mud, lipstick, grass, coffee, chocolate, paint. A torn corner of one sheet, a bit of water, some elbow grease. Every stain came out. Only the paint left a faint mark, and we’re telling you that rather than cropping it out. What’s in them: plant-derived, lower-impact ingredients. Coconut-oil-derived cleaning agents that do the heavy lifting on grease. Sodium citrate from lemons and oranges, which softens hard water so the cleaning can actually get on with its job. Protease for grass, blood and sweat. Amylase for food. What isn’t: optical brighteners, artificial dyes, or phthalates — which can arrive undisclosed under the word “fragrance” and are classified as endocrine disruptors. Per wash it works out around what a branded pod costs. 50% off your first order: £6.00 for 30 washes, then £12.00 a month + £3.95 delivery.
