Poesie Detergent Eco Friendly Hypoallergenic Traveling Reviews Summary

Efficiency and Convenience

Pros:

• "toss in a sheet and you are ready to go. Laundry is clean, smells so fresh."
• "The sheets dissolved completely in my machine, left no residue in the machine nor on my clothes."
• "They clean just as well as liquid or pods and take up very little space."
• "Being able to just throw a sheet in and not have to measure liquid is fantastic."
• "Love that it comes in a plastic free package."
• "These laundry sheets have a pleasant fragrance. They dissolve well."
• "These laundry soap sheets are easy to use and take up very little room in my luggage."

Cons:

• "Every single load there is part of the laundry sheet stuck on the side of the washing machine."
• "Takes too many sheets to successfully wash each load."
• "Even using four sheets it did not provide the cleaning of other one sheet brands."
• "This product might be ok for hand washing but in a washing machine, even putting 4-5 sheets into the tub it doesn’t really clean well."
• "I wouldn't use these for heavily soiled items, I used four sheets as directed and there was still odor left behind."
• "The first box seemed to work well and we had no issues. However, the second box we ordered didn’t dissolve well at all. It was leaving residue on our clothes and ultimately ended up clogging our washer and causing it to leak."
• "Aside from the fact that my clothes do not smell clean when I use this product, I also keep finding huge chunks of the detergent sheets in my laundry that never dissolved during the wash cycle."

Environmental Impact

Pros:

• "Lack of plastic packaging is the reason I tried this in the first place."
• "Love, love, love this product! Eco-friendly alternative to annoyingly heavy jugs of plastic-encased liquid."
• "I really like the convenience and the fact I’m not having the big plastic bottles to deal with and pollute the world with!"
• "I switched from those heavy bottles with mostly water in them... There is no waste and these sheets are affordable."
• "Love that the products are hypoallergenic, space saving no more bulky bottles."
• "These are great for reducing waste."
• "Its really terrific not to add more plastics to the landfills."

Cons:

• "Unfortunately this product is not zero waste. The box came with plastic stickers to seal it shut."
• "Bought these because of the all natural hype, they smell good but they don't make the clothes smell fresh at all, honestly smelled worse after washing with it and we are farmers!!"
• "Also, these detergent sheets are made in China. After shipping, the benefits to the environment are questionable."
• "Product claims to be plastic free, but upon arrival I was disappointed to see it contains polyvinyl alcohol aka PVA."
• "I'm by no means a climate change end of the world guy, but was tired of how many plastic bottles I was going through for laundry detergent and decided to try these."
• "I love not adding more empty plastic containers into our landfill."
• "No more heavy plastic jugs that end up in the ocean or in a land fill."

Scent and Allergies

Pros:

• "I especially love the Fresh Scent. It's light but smells so good!!"
• "The laundry has a nice scent but isn't overwhelming at all."
• "The scent is pretty mild which is a plus in my book."
• "I have scent allergies, and this is one of the few laundry detergents that I can use."
• "Love the Eco-Friendliness, appreciate the scent-free option."
• "I ADORE the biodegradability, from the sheets down to the box."
• "The soap sheets were really easy to travel with and a very light smell."

Cons:

• "Virtually NO scent close to 'citrus'."
• "You cannot smell it after the wash."
• "I bought this detergent sheet brand because it said made in USA. When it arrived, the box said, made in China. False advertising!"
• "I purchased the Lavender scent and there is almost no scent, in the box or on the clothes."
• "These sheets are just not getting simple stains out of laundry like my previous experience with liquid detergent did nor is the scent lasting."
• "The scent could be a bit stronger since I do like my clothes be scented in the wash."
• "I didn't love the scent either, I purchased the lavender and it doesn't really smell anything like lavender just smells like an unappealing perfume."

Value and Cost-Effectiveness

• "This was such a good deal, I've used another brand highly rated and advertised a lot, it was okay but expensive in comparison to Poesie."
• "What a great product easy to use, environmentally aware a win all around and what a great price works no different than the more costly."
• "They are lasting so saving money."

Cons:

• "Takes too many sheets to successfully wash each load."
• "Even using four sheets it did not provide the cleaning of other one sheet brands."
• "The cost per load of laundry is high due to the number of sheets that are REALLY needed."
• "I have to use at least 3 half sheets. It ends up not being very economical anyway."
