![]() Now I have a spray bottle of cleaner ready for whenever I need it. The sheets dissolve quickly and completely. I got an inexpensive spray bottle since I didn’t have one to upcycle, and added a half sheet then filled it with water. The fact that the cleaner is in a sheet means that you have to do a bit of planning for some things. You also shouldn’t use it on polished wood, painted, varnished, or composite granite surfaces. There are some limitations what surfaces are safe, so I didn’t use it on my kitchen counters since it’s some sort of stone composite. Honestly, my kitchen floors needed a good cleaning and this worked well. Even without rinsing after, it didn’t leave a sticky residue. The first thing I did was add a sheet to a bucket of water to clean my laminate floors. Once used, I didn’t notice the fragrance lingering. It isn’t offensive to me and I rarely allow anything with any sort of fragrance in the house. First, it comes in a Grapefruit Citrus Scent. I used the Multi Surface Cleaner Liquidless Eco Sheets™ a couple of ways. I haven’t found that to be an issue with any of the Earth Breeze products. The other advantage of not relying on pods, for the laundry and the dishwasher, is that I’ve found that pods can eventually get squishy or start to dissolve a bit. Why add irritants to something that is touching your skin or can pollute the environment? I appreciate what it doesn’t have: parabens, phthalate, phosphate, bleach, dyes, and fragrances. The laundry detergent is hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested (which is very important to me). If you have children and have safety concerns, be assured that there isn’t much chance that a child would want to put what looks like a piece of paper in their mouths, plus the detergent is not toxic.Īll of their products are certified vegan and cruelty free. Theoretically, I don’t like the fact that the manufacturer controls how much detergent you use. That is one of the reasons I’ve never tried pods. ![]() I appreciate that you have the option to control how much detergent you use. The detergent is perfectly safe in fact, they tell you that you can use the sheets for hand washing. It just takes a quick rinse to get it off so it isn’t a major issue. The only possible negative I can think of is that when you use only a ½ sheet (for smaller loads) you get a bit if residue on your hands if you rip, rather than cut, the sheet. I’m sensitive to fragrance so I’ve been using the Fragrance Free version. The Laundry Detergent Liquidless Eco Sheets™ work as well as any detergent I’ve used. All of this is much, much smaller than what I would find on a store shelf. The laundry detergent and cleaner sheets are in a 7” x 10” heavy paper packet and the dishwasher tablets are in a 3” x 7” x 1” cardboard box. That’s a personal pet peeve – over-large packaging that is just going to end up in a landfill. Even the shipping packaging was sized to the products. The first thing you notice when you get your package from Earth Breeze is that there is little waste and the products are compact. I tried the Laundry Detergent, The Hope Cloth, Power Pebbles dishwasher tablets, and the Multi Surface Cleanser. ![]() Earth Breeze sent me a sampling of their products to objectively test so I could share my experiences. Regardless of how wonderful their mission may be, if the products aren’t good, it wouldn’t matter how noble their goals are. These goals hit their 3 R’s of regenerate, redistribute, and reduce. They manufacture a line of cleaning products with the goal of “leaving the world holistically better than we found it.” They want to “support and heal our planet, but also give back to the communities and to people in need.” ![]() I don’t love the cost of products and trying to find the best choice, and I really don’t like the packaging waste, the use of toxic chemicals, and even the smell of many of the products.Įarth Breeze shares many of my, and probably your, concerns. There are aspects I like… I like the result and sometimes I like process. To be honest, cleaning is not my favorite thing to do.
