I Tested and Reviewed the Best Laundry Detergent Sheets in 2024

March 12, 2024

Trying to find the best laundry detergent sheets is tough. 

Products vary widely in terms of price, quality, efficiency, and most importantly, social impact, and it can be hard to tell which companies are genuine in their commitment to providing value to you and the world and which ones are just trying to leach money from your pocket. 

To make sure you get the best product that not only does its job, but also makes the biggest impact, I’ve reviewed and ranked the eight best laundry sheets on the market. Here’s what I found. 

Laundry detergent sheets

1. Earth Breeze — 9.20/10 (First-place sheet)

Top-rated: 52,000 reviews.

Earth Breeze is #1 on my list because not only is it the cheapest laundry detergent sheet that ticks all the boxes and works great on whites and colors, but they also prove their commitment to improving the world by giving back to those in need.

Pros

There’s a lot to like about Earth Breeze

First of all, they’re the cheapest manufacturer per load on the market, with each load coming in at just $0.33. You can drop this price even further to just $0.20 per load by joining their monthly subscription plan. Considering some manufacturers charge over $1 per load, $0.20 per load is great value. 

On top of this, they tick all the boxes you need in your laundry detergent sheets. They ranked in the top two results on both whites and colors, they’re safe on sensitive skin, have zero-waste packaging, offer free shipping on all orders, work in all kinds of washing machines (including high-efficiency machines), and are eco-friendly, vegan, and cruelty-free (meaning no animals were harmed in production).

But, being great value and ticking all the boxes isn’t enough. We live in an interconnected society where our actions impact our future and those around us — something of which we all need to be conscious. It’s on this point that Earth Breeze really separates itself from the crowd in three ways. 

Firstly, for every box Earth Breeze sells, they donate 10 sheets to those in need, including homeless shelters, veteran’s organizations, women’s shelters, and disaster relief efforts. 

Secondly, they’re part of ‘1% For The Planet’ – an organization whose members commit 1% of revenue to non-profits to use in the most impactful way possible. 

And finally, Earth Breeze is 100% carbon-neutral. This means that not only are their facilities and offices carbon-neutral, but they also provide funding and assistance to their entire supply chain (including shipping) to ensure they’re also carbon-neutral.

They’re the only manufacturer to tick all three of these boxes (and one of only two manufacturers to make ANY environmental or societal commitments), and so when you combine it with their pricing and complete range of features, putting them in the #1 spot was easy.

Cons

Trying to find a negative for Earth Breeze was tough. 

The only real con I could find for Earth Breeze is that while they already have more than 14,000 four and five-star reviews, they’re a relatively new player in the market and so don’t have the same 50+ year track record as some providers. 

While this won’t make an iota of difference for most people, if you have a strong nostalgic streak and want to use the same laundry detergent brand as your parents, Earth Breeze might not be a good choice for you. 

Overall

Earth Breeze is the best laundry detergent sheet on the market because not only are they the cheapest and have the best range of features, as well as performing exceptionally well on both whites and colors, they’re also the only manufacturer to back up the promise of protecting the earth and our environment with real action. 

It’s your go-to option for the best zero waste laundry detergent, aligning with your sustainability goals while delivering top-notch performance.

If you want a laundry sheet that combines great value for money with the biggest range of features and a commitment to making a better world, head to Earth Breeze now.

2. Tru Earth — 7.41/10 (Runner up)

Tru Earth sneaks into the #2 spot on my list because despite being almost twice the price of Earth Breeze, they’re the only other laundry sheet company to also give back to the community.

Pros

Tru Earth is another laundry sheet manufacturer that ticks a lot of boxes. 

Their zero-waste packaging is wrapped around laundry sheets that do a decent job on most common fabrics, are safe for sensitive skin, work in high-efficiency machines, and are eco-friendly, vegan, and cruelty-free. 

On top of this, for every subscription they receive, they will donate 32 sheets to front-line workers, food banks, and those in need — the last manufacturer on this list to commit to any social good.

Cons

While Tru Earth is a good company, there’s definitely a reason they’re #2 on this list. 

Firstly, they’re expensive. To be more accurate, they’re double the price of Earth Breeze. Their cost per load for a one-off purchase is $0.62 and even their discount subscription rate of $0.40 per load is more than Earth Breeze’s one-off purchase rate of $0.33 per load.

On top of this, there’s a big difference in their charity efforts. While Earth Breeze donates 10 washes per packet of laundry sheets they sell, Tru Earth will only make a donation when someone signs up for an automatically recurring subscription. 

This means that if you buy 10 packets from Earth Breeze, they will donate 100 sheets while Tru earth will donate just 32 sheets. 

Don’t get me wrong, it’s GREAT that they’re giving back (as more companies should be), but just be aware that their giving is limited.

Overall

Tru Earth is an established laundry soap sheet manufacturer that ticks a lot of boxes. Their 32 load, zero-waste sheets are safe for sensitive skin, work in high-efficiency machines on most common fabrics, and are cruelty-free.

While they’re nearly twice the price of Earth Breeze and their charity efforts are limited, they do provide a reliable product.

3. Sheets Laundry Club — 6.90/10

Sheets Laundry Club lands at #3 on this list by providing good value for money, despite the fact that they don’t back up their claims of caring about the environment with any specific actions.

Pros

Sheets Laundry Club makes a reputable product at a good price. 

Their laundry detergent sheets are versatile, working effectively in all machines. They are also hypo-allergenic, ensuring gentle care for sensitive skin. Additionally, these sheets are eco-friendly, making them a sustainable laundry detergent choice. They sailed through our tests on whites, and no animals were harmed in their production. Furthermore, they’re the third-cheapest laundry sheets on the market (at $0.40 per load for one-off purchases and $0.28 per load for subscribers) and offer free shipping on all orders.

Cons

The big con with Sheets Laundry Club is that while their website is plastered with claims of how they care about the environment and want to protect it for all, they don’t actually back this up with any specific action. 

Yes, they have zero-waste packaging, but in a world where we humans have done significant damage to our environment already, avoiding doing more damage is really not enough. Without actively repairing the damage, nothing will improve. 

They also didn’t perform exceptionally well on colors. The muted colors came out looking just as they did when they went in, but the bright colors seem to lack their usual pop once they came off the line.

Considering the good work that Earth Breeze and Tru Earth are doing, this just doesn’t cut it.

Overall

Sheets Laundry Club produces a reliable product that ticks all the boxes you’d expect, but their lack of actively contributing to repairing the damage that we humans have done to the planet means you can get far better value elsewhere. 

4. Kind Laundry

Kind Laundry is not a terrible alternative to the options above.

Their nicely designed, zero-waste packaging holds their 5-ingredient, plant-based laundry sheets and they sell them at a very reasonable price. They match Earth Breeze at only $0.33 per wash for the one-off purchase, but they’re $0.08 per load more expensive with their subscription ($0.28 per load vs. $0.20 per load).

They didn’t seem to suffer from the same issue of fading bright colors as Sheets, but they also didn’t perform as well on whites.

But they’re down at number 4 for two reasons. 

The first is that they only offer free shipping on subscriptions. That means that if you want to make a one-off purchase to test their product, you have to pay the shipping costs yourself. The only people who make it harder to test a product are usually those who have something to hide so this didn’t sit well with me. 

They also don’t have any program where they back up their claims of caring about the environment by taking real and tangible action. They don’t donate any portion of their sales, through products or upfront cash or work with their suppliers to ensure they’re carbon neutral either.

Given how much they talk about saving the environment on their website, you’d expect they’d actually do something about it…

5. Well Earth

Well Earth has made it to #5 on this list, but really, these bottom four recommendations could have been ranked in any order. All four offer a few of the features that Earth Breeze offers, but miss the mark entirely on other elements. 

The parts which Well Earth hit are the standards that every other provider also hit. Their laundry detergent sheets are safe for sensitive skin, work in all washing machines, do a decent enough job on most ordinary fabrics, and are vegan and cruelty-free. 

And while their $0.52 per load cost for one-off purchases and $0.48 per load on subscription put them near the bottom of the list in terms of price, they do offset that slightly by offering free shipping on all purchases.

Still, the top three recommendations on this list all offer free shipping and charge less per load so there’s no real reason to use Well Earth. 

6. Beyond Laundry Detergent Sheets

Beyond Laundry Detergent Sheets was a confusing one to rank. 

They tick all those basic boxes of being eco-friendly, safe on sensitive skin, working in all machines on most fabrics, and being cruelty-free and vegan, and then blow you away with the cheapest one-off purchase price of any manufacturer on this list. 

Their $8.99 price for 32 loads means they cost $0.28 per load, which is less than even Earth Breeze.

BUT… there is a catch. They make you pay for shipping and they don’t offer any subscription discount meaning that there are at least three other manufacturers on this list that are cheaper if you subscribe (and possibly more, depending on the shipping costs).

On top of this, they don’t give back to society or help improve the environment in any way so there’s really no reason to buy from them.

Yes, I could have ranked Beyond Laundry Detergent Sheets higher, but the ‘no free shipping’ policy tells me that they don’t really care about delivering real value so I bumped them down a few slots.

7. Space White

Space White is down at #7 on this list because, well, they really haven’t tried to create a competitive product.

Yes, their laundry sheets cover the same basics that the other manufacturers do, but that’s where they stop.

Their $0.44 per load price puts them in the middle of the pack and they do offer a subscription discount, but ONLY on your first order. The subsequent orders are charged at full price. 

They then add insult to this injury by only offering free shipping on orders over $75. 

Come on, Space White. Really? 

Not good enough…

8. Clean People

I honestly have no idea what Clean People were thinking when they launched their product, but it would have been a really interesting meeting to be part of. 

“Wait Jim, let me get this straight. You want to charge more than twice the price of almost every one of our competition and five times more than the market leader, offer no subscription discount, and then back up our claims of wanting to help the environment by doing absolutely nothing?”

“Yes, Shirly. You got it.”

“Brilliant! Let’s launch it!”

Their $1.03 per load cost is just crazy and the fact that you can’t reduce that price with a subscription makes absolutely no sense.

Don’t use them. Save yourself $0.83 PER LOAD with Earth Breeze.

Methodology

Now that you have a fine list of laundry detergents sheets you can try out today, let me share with you the hard work that went into ranking these detergents.

This section will explain the seven-step methodology that helped me separate the best detergents from average ones.

Step 1: Listing all the big eco-friendly laundry detergent sheets

I started my weeklong research by noting the most popular laundry sheets available on the market. All of these brands claim to be “eco-friendly” and “green,” but only a few are faithful to these claims. The list covers the detergents with the most sales and reviews on the popular online markets.

Step 2: Online reviews

The next logical step was to read the customer testimonials and online reviews of these detergents. This was the most time consuming yet exciting process of my research. I skimmed through thousands of reviews and ratings left by customers from all walks of life.

Some bought the sheets for their greasy work clothes, while others wanted a safe solution for their children’s school uniforms.

Some brands put up false reviews and paid testimonials to create a fake image on their website, so I opted to skim through the reviews on other online marketplaces as well.

Step 3: Interviews with real customers

I don’t take online reviews at face value, so I contacted a few customers about their experience with detergents. This gave me a more profound and genuine insight into the detergents’ cleaning performances and efficiency.

Customers talked about unique problems that I wouldn’t have otherwise imagined to include in my ranking, such as broken packages, lousy customer service, and misplaced orders. It turns out that brands are not as friendly in their dealings with consumers as they declare to be on their websites

Moreover, some customers shared that a detergent made them break into hives and run to the ER. At the same time, others didn’t have any problems and were super happy with the products.

These interviews opened up new discussions and aspects that helped me rank the detergents better.

Step 4: Interviews with the popular laundry detergent brands

I contacted the brands directly to clear my doubts regarding the cruelty-free status of some ingredients. Additionally, I asked about their ongoing eco-friendly ventures and future plans of releasing more sustainable products.

Some brands replied quickly with all the necessary details, such as Earth Breeze, while others were hesitant, and some didn’t respond at all! Brands like Earth breeze have nothing to hide from their customers, and I have factored this into my ratings.

Step 5: Test drives

In this investigation stage, I tested every detergent in the HE machine and observed the results under UV lights.

I prepared eight identical test batches. Each of which consisted of four swatches made of different fabrics, such as denim, silk, cotton, and wool. All the test articles were covered with stains of blood, baby food, grass, ink, and grease.

Following the washing instructions suggested on the package labels, I washed the articles in both warm water and cold water. The swatches were dried naturally in the sun.

The final results were drawn on the basis of how effectively a detergent cleans the stains, the resulting brightness of both white and colored items, the fabric’s final appearance, and the intensity of fragrance left by the sheets after drying.

The top three detergents on the list banished all the stains perfectly, leaving freshly scented, bright clothes. However, I was disappointed by the results of the rest of the detergents. Some couldn’t clean heavy stains, while others made the items appear dingy and faded.

Step 6: Analyzing the laundry detergent sheets

After interviewing the customers, reading reviews, and scrutinizing every brand’s website, I summarized all the important features that made a detergent the best on the market.

  • Ingredients
  • Stain removal
  • Effects on sensitive skin and delicate clothes
  • Performance in HE machines (both warm and cold water)
  • Septic safety
  • Cost
  • Subscriptions and bundle offer
  • Sustainable packaging and shipping
  • Cruelty-free certification
  • Eco-friendly initiatives and contribution to the environment

The brands that ticked the above boxes grabbed top positions on this list. Earth Breeze is the only brand that effortlessly reached a 10/10 rating on this scoreboard.

Step 7: Ratings

The first two detergent sheets brands on my list are the best in terms of cleaning performance, environmental initiatives, ingredients, cost, and sustainability. Unfortunately, the rest of the brands lagged by many points. Some were very pricey, while others were not doing enough for the environment.

Summary

I’ve reviewed the top eight best laundry sheets on the market and the best company is Earth Breeze.

Not only do they have the cheapest laundry sheets on the market (at as little as $0.20 per load), but they also offer free shipping on all orders, are suitable for sensitive skin, produce white whites and vibrant colors, work in all washing machines (including high-efficiency machines), and are cruelty-free and vegan. 

On top of this, for every packet they sell, they give 10 sheets to those in need, donate 1% of ALL revenue to worthy not-for-profits to create an impact in their community, and ensure that their entire supply chain (including their shipping company) is carbon-neutral. 

If you want laundry sheets that are not only the best price and tick all the boxes you need from laundry detergent but also actively contribute to creating a better world, head to Earth Breeze now.
