5.0 out of 5 stars
I really love these, July 23, 2009
This review is from: Dropps Laundry Pacs, Scent + Dye Free, 42-load pouch (pack of 2) (Health and Beauty)
For context: I have a HE front-loader.
There's a couple of obvious groups where this is a no-brainer. People who live in apartments or otherwise have to carry detergent. People who like to have some when they travel. People who are disabled or otherwise have trouble manipulating a big heavy container or measuring.
For me, for daily use, most of that doesn't apply. But it's still nice when you're in a rush just to chuck in one of these and throw in the clothes and hit start and run back to the baby before she explodes. And it does work really well - one pouch always does the job, even though the package recommends two for larger loads. Maybe that's a HE thing, maybe that's because I pre-treat anything really nasty (i.e. dump on some conventional cleaner and vaugely rub it and chuck it in. I suspect I should be doing a better job of that but it works OK).
I've used both the scented and unscented. My preference is for the scent/dye free versions but they both clean the same.

A small revolution in the laundry room, November 7, 2009
This review is from: Dropps Laundry Pacs, Scent + Dye Free, 42-load pouch (pack of 2) (Health and Beauty)
These little water-soluable packets of concentrated laundry detergent may change the way you do laundry forever. Dropps comes in three forms -- this scent and dye free version, a "fresh scent" version that is very lightly scented, and a gentle "baby" version for, well, baby clothes and diapers one would assume. In place of big boxes of laundry powder and plastic jugs of laundry liquid, you will have one resealable plastic pouch with a few dozen tiny clear pillows filled with detergent concentrate, clear (for the dye and scent free) or a pale blue (for the "fresh scent") -- kind of like plump see-through detergent ravioli. Keep the plastic pouch sealed to keep moisture out, and do not handle the little pillows with wet hands, or you will soon find them dissolving inside the pouch before you use them.
The detergent is low suds but effective. You will want to keep a concentrated laundry booster around (like oxy-clean) and liquid bleach for whites. Other than that, the "Dropps" are all you need: one for a small load; two for a large or especially dirty load. And no more will you wind up accidentally overdoing the liquid or powdered laundry detergent and finding suds spewing out of your washer.
Imagine if that vast array of jugs and boxes of "new and improved, super duper economy size" laundry detergents that fill a long aisle of shelves in your local grocery store were replaced with a small collection of Dropps laundry packs. That would eliminate a whole lot of wasted space and packaging no one really needs. Get rid of the clutter in your own laundry room at home and start using these.

Pack smells like rubbing alcohol and left spots on clothes, April 28, 2011
This review is from: Dropps Laundry Pacs, Scent + Dye Free, 42-load pouch (pack of 2) (Health and Beauty)
Although these were great for the kids to be able to help do the laundry (no measuring and pouring liquid), there is an overwhelming smell of rubbing alcohol from the packets. They also left spots on our clothes (like oil spots). Would not recommend.
