Any laundry strip recommendations that work as well as liquid detergent?

[Anonymous]

We recently switched to laundry strips to cut down on packaging. While I like the concept, we have tried Earth Breeze and Tru Earth and neither seem as effective as liquid detergent. Any other brands to try?

How about powdered tide in the cardboard box? It’s the best detergent around.

+1 to powdered tide.

S il me stores even carry this fragrance free for those who prefer/need that. But I’m interested in the laundry strips too.

Most laundry strips are made of plastics and generate microplastics. They're not nearly as green as the companies would like you to believe -- these plastics do not biodegrade. Look for PVA, or polyvinyl alcohol, on the label.

I'm currently using Dirty Labs, which is a concentrated liquid in a recyclable aluminum bottle. I've also tried Blueland tablets, but prefer Dirty Labs (although I'm still using the Blueland dishwasher tablets).

According to Consumer Reports, laundry strips are the worst performing laundry detergent. You may as well just save your money and wash your clothes in water.

I was interested in the strips but lost interest after reading a variety of comparison reviews. The strips currently on the market perform poorly compared to other types of detergent.

I’ve been very happy with powdered detergent from etee (mail order). No plastics, each load requires only 1T detergent. I see no difference in performance versus liquid detergent. As for strips, I thought I read recently they are actually made with a type of plastic.

This was my childhood detergent and I made the switch back last year. So great.
