(The reviewers use an optical scanner or something to measure the differences in stain removal.) On the environmental side, the strips are clearly much more efficient to store and to ship, which means a nice reduction in transportation emissions. Furthermore, I’m not even sure I could tell the difference between the top-ranked detergent and these. They may not be the most effective laundry detergent on the planet, but according to these impressively thorough detergent reviewers, they are in the “top third” of all detergents. For whatever reason, the well-intentioned gift sits in my closet unused. Maybe I hate laundry so much that I don’t want to have to redo a load if the strip doesn’t work? I don’t know. (I can’t tell you why.)Ī fairly well-ranked and environmentally friendly laundry detergent.īut this little cardboard envelope of 32 loads’ worth of strips? I keep reaching past them.
In fact, it’s in my closet, and I use it except not with cold water. Same detergent, less plastic in the packaging. This looks like the top-ranked detergent that it is.Īnd probably this, assuming it fits on the shelf and isn’t too leaky. This looks like a product that will get the job done. I want the good, strong stuff.” No less than the Harvard Business Review cites a study that demonstrates that “when people valued strength in a product-a car cleaner, say-they were less likely to choose sustainable options.” (1) An article for sanitation professionals quotes a property manager as saying “If it’s green I’m not interested. This reviewer confesses “To be honest, I really doubted a 2-inch x 4-inch strip weighing under 3 grams would get the job done.” The problem isn’t just that they are delicate, it’s also that they are eco-friendly. I’m not the only one who harbors prejudice against paperlike laundry detergent. It’s fair to say that I have a bias against laundry strips and I’m not sure why. Is something wrong with me, and what does this mean for our chances of dealing with climate change?Ĭan these paper-like strips possibly clean the laundry? I love spending time outdoors, and feel deeply our responsibility to this incredible planet that we call home. After working in the tech industry for about 25 years, I retired a few years ago to better align my time with my priorities. I studied math and neurobiology on the east coast before moving out here in 1987 for grad school in computer science. My background is not in climate science, and I'm not even particularly green my hope is that helps to make this blog more relatable. It is important that we develop a shared understanding of the basic science and impacts of climate change, to make sense of our actions and policy options going forward. My hope is that readers of this blog will develop a better understanding of how our climate is evolving and how they want to respond, and will feel comfortable asking questions and exchanging comments on the topic. It would also be great if there were some more scents available rather than the scented or unscented.About this blog: Climate change, despite its outsized impact on the planet, is still an abstract concept to many of us. We do a lot of laundry in this house as we have a family of 5. Overall I think it’s a great product, the only things I can think of would be to have bigger packs. They are so easy to use, just pop them in the detergent draw or in the drum with the clothes and you are good to go.

You can even choose to hand wash clothes with these which is brilliant! What are they? These are sheets made of water dissolvable detergent, they dissolve in seconds and work in all washing machines. If you know me, you’ll know I love my cleaning products, its kind of an obsession even though my house is usually in a mess! I also love to try eco friendly products so when I was asked if I’d like to try these Eco Laundry Detergent Sheets from Earth Breeze I had to give them a go didn’t I.
