Poesie Laundry Detergent Sheets Citrus Scent 3 Pack 480 Sheets 240 Loads Zero Plastic Portable Green Package Liquid Less HE Washing Detergent Strips for Save Place Traveling

I have been using detergent sheets for a while now, about a year, I think. I was using another brand that is twice as much as these and have been satisfied with them. I was mindlessly scrolling on the Ol' social medias as I tend to do late at night whilst trying to fall asleep, when I saw a post in a group about frugality recommending these particular sheets on amazon. I looked them up and saw that they were about half the price I had been paying, and for more than twice as much!I thought to myself, I have got to try these, and I ordered a package.They arrived this morning in my mailbox, and I eagerly ran inside to try them out. My first impression upon receiving them was that the smell of the box was nice. Pleasant smelling mail is always a bonus! For context, I chose the lavender variety, and the smell does not disappoint. It is flowery and clean smelling, and not overpowering.I opened the box and noticed how neatly cut they are, as they are all half the size of the old sheets I used, which I thought, wow, that is convenient, I always hate tearing those things in half unevenly and worrying that one load will get more, and one load will get less as they are impossible to tear evenly down the middle! Overall, another very positive impression. So, the 160 sheets of this brand are equivalent to 80 sheets of my old brand, which shipped in packs of 30 at a price of twice what these are at. Hold the front door! That's a great deal if they work well...I did a load of bed sheets, as these were on me to do list today anyway. I noticed how perfectly the half sheet fits into the dispenser on my washer. It is a top load machine but has a built-in dispenser under the lid. I decided to try placing the half-sheet in there and see what happens, even though it is recommended to place it on top of the laundry in a top load machine, curiosity got the best of me. I was also a bit concerned as a few reviews have mentioned the sheets not dissolving fully and I wanted to keep that confined if it did happen as to not leave white splotches of stuff on my bedding.This load was washed on the "warm" setting. As it washed, I could smell the scent faintly in the room, which was nice and uplifting. After the load finished, I immediately checked the tray to see if I saw any residue left behind, and to my relief, there was none. I pulled the sheets out of the machine and gave them a sniff, and they smelled very nice. Faintly scented, not overwhelming, but the scent was there. If you prefer an overly perfumed smell, these will not do that, but if you're like me and appreciate things just smelling clean with a light scent of fresh on top, these are perfect.I plan to wash a second load in a little while and I will set this one to cold, and use the tray again to hold the sheet, and if I notice any residue (as reviews mentioning this concern seem to have noticed it on cold water, not warm), I will update this review to reflect that. If there are no further updates, you can assume this one is a winner in my book. Likewise, I will also do two more loads, warm, and cold, with the sheet placed directly on the laundry and will again report back if any negative results appear.For the moment, I am happy with this purchase and will purchase again if all following tests pass, as I have never had any issues dissolving my old more expensive brand, so I have high expectations of these sheets as well, but so far, I am cautiously optimistic. :)———-Update: I used this in cold water loads since my initial review, and I have to say, I am still 100% satisfied with this product. I had no issues whatsoever with the sheets dissolving properly. No residue was left behind in clothing and everything seems to have disappeared in the wash. I’m also impressed with the smell from these. It’s faint but everything smells clean and lightly perfumed which is perfect.

I love buying these knowing I'm being more eco-friendly. They save space and also are so light-weight. They get everything clean and leave the laundry smelling great. Very easy to just throw the sheets in and start the washer.

Overall I think this is a pretty good product and nice replacement for liquid detergent.Cleaning. I'd give it a 4 star on cleaning. I'm an archaeologist and my work clothes get pretty darn gross. It's awesome that the no mess factor of sheets makes this a lot easier to take with me on my projects to use in the hotels, but it doesn't quiet do the deep clean I'm use to with my previous liquid detergent. I do have to double the sheets to get a decent clean on my worst loads and still might have some minor spotting/staining that probably needs spot treatment. Overall, for normal cleaning needs it works great, (my mom is using this now too and approves) but for deeper cleaning you might want to spot treat your fabrics first.Use. Super darn easy. I love the fact that this is a no spill, no mess option. My teen boys do their own laundry now and man, just not having to clean up spills or hunt the container lid makes this so worth while. You will have to play around with the amount of sheets you need based on soiling and washing machine size, but otherwise even a teen boy can use this stuff!Smell. The scent is pretty mild which is a plus in my book. I'm not big on scents and my father, an asthmatic, can't really have strong scented clothes. The mild scent makes me really happy, but for some of you I know you prefer your clean clothes smelling... like something.Shipping and Box. Lack of plastic packaging is the reason I tried this in the first place. Because we don't have trash pick up where I live, resulting in me taking my garbage in to town, I have been seeking other methods of downsizing my garbage and plastic footprint. I honestly hate those nasty containers. I hate the drip and spill mess. I hate the risk that they may not make it into the recycling pool (many plastics we 'recycle' don't get recycled). I hate having to clean them out for recycling. I even question the chemical look of detergent even if that is just me being paranoid. Do they honestly have to put dyes in detergent?! I just hate all of that. So to have this type of detergent with out the plastic, mess and a recyclable box that takes up only a fraction of room in my bin.... I know I sound like the spokes person to a green tree hugging commercial here but, I really appreciate this detergent option.Cost. So I've found that yes, it can be more costly with out necessarily the deep wash impact my old liquid detergent does. However, I make up for that with the other benefits. For me, it comes out in the 'wash'. I've been using it for over a year and the additional minute cost difference is that, minute. I personally feel its a good trade off. I'd recommend trying it and judging for yourself like I suggested to my mom who now is a fan and a customer as well.
