Eco Laundry Detergent GreenSheets™

Where do we begin? 

From being rated a Best Buy Product in the Independent to receiving thousands of five star reviews we are more and more confident in the magic of our sheets. Here's just three things we love about our GreenSheets™: 

1. Better for the Planet - Our GreenSheets™ are packed in a biodegradable cardboard pouch, free of plastic! 

2. No bulky bottles - Not only are plastic detergent bottles terrible for the environment, they take up too much space in our cupboards. Our GreenSheets™ don't, they'll fit neatly in a drawer. 

3. Beautifully scented - We take great pride in having created a delicately balanced scent that has been rewarded for not being too overpowering but ensuring a thoroughly clean smell. Choose from Lavender, Fresh Linen or Fragrance Free.

Magic! Okay, maybe not, but almost! Upon contact with water our GreenSheets™ will instantly begin to return to their liquid state and mix with the water flow in your machine to give your clothes a proper clean! They work in all washes, even cold and quick!

The number of GreenSheets™ you'll need to use can depend on a few factors, including the size of your laundry load and how dirty your clothes are. Here's a quick guide to help you out:

Small to Medium Loads: For a standard washing machine with a small to medium load (which is roughly up to a half-full drum), just half a GreenSheet™ should do the trick.

Large Loads: If you're tackling a larger load (a drum that's more than half full), you might want to use a whole sheet. This ensures that the larger volume of water and clothing gets evenly cleaned, leaving no sock behind.

Heavily Soiled Clothes: For those clothes that have seen better days—maybe after a muddy walk or a culinary experiment gone awry—you might consider using an extra sheet, regardless of the load size. This helps in breaking down tough stains and dirt more effectively.

Yes! Our products are never tested on animals and our GreenSheets™ are also vegan!

Unlike pods, our GreenSheets™ are made from naturally derived ingredients, ensuring no nasties end up in your house, and out in the drains. With a powerful wash that stands the test of the most expensive pods, our little sheets pack a mightier, more natural punch than pods. Read more here.

We have a strict no-nasties policy, so all our ingredients are sourced with you and the planet in mind. The full list of ingredients is as follows: Organic Dodecyl Salt, Palm-Free Decyl Glucoside, Water, Coconut Oil Derivative (Cocoamidopropyl Betaine), Glycerol, Polyvinyl Alcohol, Trisodium Citrate, Parfums. 

All the above ingredients are super kind on dry and sensitive skin so don't worry if you suffer from either of those!  

Our Fragrance Free option doesn't contains any parfums :)

Let's break down the ingredients found in our natural laundry detergent, find out what each ingredient does below:

1) Organic Dodecyl Salt: This is a type of surfactant, also known as a detergent. Surfactants are compounds that lower the surface tension between two substances, such as a liquid and a solid. In eco friendly laundry detergents, these surfactants help to loosen and remove dirt and grease from fabrics naturally. Organic Dodecyl Salt is effective in breaking down and removing soil from clothes.

2) Palm-Free Decyl Glucoside: A gentle, biodegradable non-ionic surfactant derived from natural sources like coconut. Non-ionic surfactants do not carry an electrical charge, making them effective in both hard and soft water. Decyl Glucoside is known for its mildness and is often used in laundry products for sensitive skin. 

3) Water: Serves as a solvent in our eco laundry detergent. It helps to dissolve the other ingredients and facilitates the even distribution of these ingredients when the sheet dissolves in the laundry water.

4) Coconut Oil Derivative (Cocoamidopropyl Betaine): A mild and biodegradable surfactant derived from coconut oil. It's commonly used in both personal care products and detergents for its gentle nature. It also contributes to the foaming and lathering properties of the detergent, improving its cleaning ability. 

5) Glycerol (Glycerine): A humectant, meaning it helps to retain moisture. In laundry detergents, glycerol can help to keep the product from drying out and can also impart a slightly softening effect on fabrics.

6) Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA): This is a water-soluble synthetic polymer. In laundry sheets, it's used to create the film that encases the eco laundry detergent. PVA dissolves in the wash water, releasing the active detergent ingredients. It is also biodegradable and doesn't leave any harmful residues.

7) Trisodium Citrate: A water softener that also adjusts the pH of the laundry detergent. In water softening, it binds with calcium and magnesium ions, reducing water hardness and improving the non bio laundry detergent's effectiveness. It can also protect fabrics from harshness and help maintain their color. 

8) Parfums (Fragrances): These are added to give our laundry sheets a pleasant scent. Lavender and fresh linen fragrances come from natural essential oils, not synthetic ingredients. Our fragrance free option does not contain any parfums. These are best if you have sensitive skin
