We kissed single-use plastic products goodbye once sustainability became all the rave! While we should always celebrate small victories, we still have a long way to go! So, many people, especially women, have been looking for ways to be friendlier towards the planet. It may come as a surprise, but laundry plays a major role!
Whether you love doing laundry or absolutely dread it, we can all agree on one thing – nothing beats the smell and feel of freshly cleaned clothes! This is all thanks to laundry detergents. However, despite their fragrant aroma, they usually contain a lot of harsh materials that can do numbers on our skin – and not the good kinds. On top of that, they usually come in large plastic jugs, which is certainly not the most eco-friendly option.
So, what’s the better alternative? It’s simple – laundry detergent sheets!
Laundry detergent sheets can simplify your cleaning in so many ways. Even though laundry day might be a hassle, you’ll be saving yourself time, space, and money! And this is just the tip of the iceberg!
If this is your first time hearing about laundry detergent sheets or wondering whether they actually work, you’re in the right spot! This guide will give you everything you need to know about eco-friendly laundry detergent so you can decide whether it’s the right fit for you!
What are laundry detergent sheets?
Laundry detergent sheets or strips offer a more sustainable way to clean your clothes. They contain concentrated and highly effective detergent that immediately dissolves once it comes in contact with water.
Unlike regular laundry detergent, which usually comes in jugs, laundry detergent sheets are pre-measured, meaning you won’t be leaving any waste behind. On top of that, they’re usually made from plant-based ingredients and contain fewer chemicals, making them quite friendly for your skin! With that said, if you’re sensitive to harsh ingredients, eco-friendly laundry detergent is the way to go!
How to use laundry detergent sheets?
If you’re wondering how to use laundry detergent sheets, you’d be surprised how simple it is! Here’s how to wash your clothes effectively.
1. Load your clothes
Before you even think about adding eco-friendly laundry detergent, you need to determine how big (and dirty!) your load is. This will show you how many sheets you actually need.
For smaller and regular-sized loads, one sheet will be just enough. However, for heavier and dirtier loads, you can pop in two sheets to clean your clothes thoroughly.
As always, make sure to sort your laundry accordingly - whites, darks, and delicates should be washed separately. The last thing you want is for your clothes to be ruined!
2. Add laundry detergent sheets
After you load your washer, place the laundry detergent sheet on top of your clothes. That’s it – you’re all set!
Also, you shouldn’t worry about water temperatures and wash cycles. Our Mabango laundry detergent sheets can be used in all kinds of washing machines, and they quickly dissolve in both cold and hot water.
Most importantly, our eco-friendly laundry detergent is perfectly safe for all fabrics, including wool and silk. To put it simply, your clothes will be as good as you new once they’re done washing!
3. Dry your clothes
Once your laundry has been washed, all that’s left is to dry it. You can use a dryer for obvious reasons, but if you have time we would recommend hanging your clothes to dry as it's better for the clothes and for the planet.
Did you know our sheets are your perfect travel bestie too? Here’s how to use laundry detergent sheets for hand washing:
1. Fill a basin or sink with cold/hot water
2. Add a single sheet into the water (two if your load is heavily soiled)
3. Let your clothes soak for about 10-15 minutes
4. After they’re soaked, gently rub your clothes together to clean them effectively.
5. Drain out the water, rinse your clothes, squeeze the excess water, and hang them to dry.
The Benefits
While the simplicity of using laundry detergent sheets is more than enough reason to make you order them ASAP, wait until you hear their multiple benefits!
Here’s why you should consider using our eco-friendly laundry detergent:
1. Makes No Messes
Even though you may be untouchable in your laundry routine, you’re definitely no stranger to the occasional detergent spill. Luckily, sheets are perfectly measured and packaged just right. All you need to do is pop them in your washer. The result? No messes – ever!
2. Skin-Friendly Ingredients
As previously mentioned, the ingredients in chemicals used in regular detergents can be pretty harsh on our bodies. That’s why most people with sensitive skin usually feel very itchy or get breakouts whenever they wear freshly cleaned clothes.
However, this is not the case with laundry detergent sheets. Our Mabango sheets contain plant-based cleaners and non-ionic surfactants that get rid of stains and dirt with ease. Additionally, the formula doesn’t contain any unnecessary dyes, parabens, or plastics, making them friendly both on your skin and the environment.
3. Can Be Used On-The-Go
If you’re an avid traveler, you already know the hassles of laundry when you’re on the go, especially if you’re out in remote places. Let’s face it – hotel laundry services usually come with a hefty price, and finding the nearest laundromat may not be at the top of your agenda. If only there was a more convenient alternative…
Well, there is! Laundry detergent sheets are very compact and can be stored pretty much anywhere. In fact, our Mabango sheets will keep your clothes smelling fresh even when they’re in the suitcase.
When you’re ready to wash your clothes, just pop a sheet into the basin or sink and let your clothes soak in the water. With this, you can say goodbye to expensive laundry services! As you can see, laundry detergent sheets are absolute game changers. Not only can they simplify your routine, but they pose a much safer alternative for both you and the planet.
