8 Laundry Sheets That Will Make You Say Goodbye to Liquid Detergent for Good
Innovations in laundry move slowly. The first commercially-available laundry detergent — a powdered soap called Persil, which is still sold today — launched in 1907, then people waited nearly 50 years before liquid detergent was invented. It was another 50 years before liquid pods came about, and more recently laundry detergent has taken its latest (and possibly final?) form: laundry sheets.
What Are Laundry Sheets?
Like pods, laundry detergent sheets are a super convenient approach to the age-old problem of having to scoop or pour detergent from a big, heavy container. They also don’t require you to do any messy measuring (which we love). But unlike pods, these are much easier to travel with and have zero risk of causing a mess — after all, you can’t accidentally pop a square of dried soap!
We rounded up the best laundry detergent sheets available and tried some ourselves to see just how well they work. Check out our picks and learn why these may replace your liquid detergent forever.
