Recently I received three complimentary packages of Dropps laundry detergent ($7.99 for a 26-load pouch at Target stores) to test and review. I've washed about a half-dozen loads of laundry in the past few days since receiving my Dropps and I can not wait to tell you what I think! Keep reading to find out...
What they say: Launched in 2005, Dropps is an innovative liquid detergent packaged in pre-measured, dissolvable pacs. Its super-concentrated, convenient "toss-and-go" form takes the mess and confusion out of pouring liquid from giant plastic jugs and makes it super-lightweight to handle. Dropps works for all temperatures, washers, colors and fabrics, including silk, cashmere, rayon and wool. Its EPA Design for the Environment (DfE) certified formulas are all phosphate-free, enzyme-free and biodegradable, making them as good on the planet as they are on your clothes and skin.
What I think: Dropps are the best invention since white bread (or whole wheat that doesn't taste like cardboard). These surprisingly small pouches pack a whole lot of eco-friendly cleaning power. I was a little skeptical at first that one pouch could clean an entire load, especially in cold water, but it totally did! Dropps are super convenient, take up very little space and make doing laundry that much simpler.
In addition to regular loads, I've used Dropps to get my dog's blankets clean and fresh, I've used them on my designer jeans and I've used them on my wool socks. They are amazing.
I always suspected that I was probably using way too much laundry detergent than was necessary in the past, but now I'm certain that I was just pouring money down the drain (out of laziness, I'd often just pour maybe 3/4 of a cap full of regular laundry detergent for all my loads. Bad, I know.) I love that Dropps are pre-measured so you'll always use just the right amount of detergent per load. Honestly I don't think I'll ever go back to the plastic jugs.
Has anyone else converted to Dropps laundry detergent? Isn't it the best?

I'm guilty of using too much detergent, too, so these look fantastic!
Can anyone else speak to this?
They're manufacturing single-use packets to BE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY?
I appreciate that they sent you free stuff. But come. on.
"The unique Dropps pac completely dissolves when it hits your wash water and drains right out with the rinse cycle. It is made out of a 100% biodegradable material, so you don’t have to worry about its impact on the environment."
How do they do on ground in dirt and grass from kid's sport uniforms?
How well do they do on mechanic's greasy clothing?
Food stains?
Baby stains?
I love the smell of Downey so I try to buy liquids that contain Downey scent / fabric softener. I'm not sure this is the right product for the average family's dirty laundry since no one mentioned how clean their laundry is with dropps.

I got 56 for just under $12 and for all the hassle saved and ease of use and quality of the product. .I'm happy
