Have you tried Dropps?? If you have, what do you think?

[@justmi9773]

Just ordered them! Excited to see what’s like.

[@RCThis]

​@justmi9773 what was YOUR thoughts on them(?)😊

[@ma.delourdesarronamena5391]

Compre unas capsula de dropp que tienen pequeñas bolitas blancas. Si es jabón? Porque no hace espuma

[@Karamoonsage]

I use Dropps Pods (unscented/sensitive). I think that they work great. However, for really stinky laundry, I add baking soda to the wash. The combination knocks out all the odors. I also pre-treat for stains just like I have done before using Dropps. Combining old fashioned washing soda with hydrogen peroxide = oxiclean. Its a cheap and effective pre-treater. And buying the peroxide by the gallon cuts down on plastic and shipping. I will be trying the Dropps fabric softener for the first time. I wish that part of the product line was reviewed in this video though.

[@alexa12595]

Did you ever have a chance to use the fabric softener? Wondering how that one is!

[@rgrn220]

@@alexa12595 it states to put it directly in the drum however, it doesn’t specify if it’s the washing machine or the dryer..

[@Myself-yh9rr]

A large portion of some powder detergents us baking soda. It is alkaline and a strong cleaner yet it is not hazardous like lye or bleach.

[@hemrainsford6920]

I have Dropps, and I love it! Even more, I love your video that didn't paint Dropps in the picture of perfection for zero waste enthusiasts. I'm happy someone else mentioned the little gloopy glob in the mesh bag when washing with cold water. Warm water has it dissolve without leaving a glob for me as well. I had tried the original stain and odor formula, then switched to the sensitive skin scented with scent booster pods. They are all great products for me, and I recommend as well.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Hem Rainsford Yay! I’m glad you’re liking Dropps! And of course! I always want to be honest in my reviews. 😊 That’s great that they’re working for you!! I’m excited to try the scent booster pods next!

[@BluecollarJoe369]

3 years later here I am This is literally the video I needed and never asked for 🎉

[@monicamolina2708]

I love your videos. It helps me convince my husband to a more sustainable life 😄 Have you though about reviewing Meliora laundry powder? I also would love for you to do a video reviewing all the laundry detergents you tried once you finish the series. Something similar to what you did with TP. Thank you 😊

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Monica Molina Thanks so much! That means a lot! Lol I’m glad I can be of service. It’s on my list! I definitely want to compare them all at the end. 😊 Thanks so much for watching!!

[@shaunaburton7136]

A big part of not needing to buy new clothes is keeping them stain free and intact. This looks like a good option.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Definitely! It’s one of the best options for zero waste laundry!

[@allisonmurphy17]

Try the scent booster with the detergent!! I use both when I wash with Dropps. I think it makes a big difference.

[@KayleighJ100]

I second. The scent booster is where it’s at.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Allison M I’ll be trying them soon! It’s good to hear that they help!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Kayleigh J. I’m excited to try them!

[@serenapinatelli2325]

Do you just put in one drop detergent and one drop scent boosters?

[@allisonmurphy17]

@@serenapinatelli2325 usually that’s what I do!

[@thecodyplan373]

When I have clothing that I don’t are going to get out the nasty, I add one of the Dropps scent booster with fabric softener pods. Afterward my clothing smells and looks great.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Living with TBI Yay! I’m glad they’re working! I’m definitely excited to try them!! 😊

[@TH-eb5ro]

I have used Dropps for years. Actually the 1/2 load pod with cold water works fine for us. Sensitive skin is the way to go, why wouldn't you want something that is kinder to your skin? I've never had one not dissolve. I like my laundry to not have chemical or fake scent smells. We signed my mom up for them as it is a much safer option for her since it arrives at her door instead of her having to carry a jug or box. We spray pits or stains with vinegar before washing and did the same prior to Dropps.

[@ShortySensei]

Oooh, thanks for the pit stains tip! My husband hates that all of his white tees have pit stains. We'll give the vinegar a go!

[@GetALifePetRescue]

Thank you for testing this for us! We are looking for eco-friendly laundry products for our dog rescue so you saved us some money on this one. Subscribed for more fab videos!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Of course! I'm glad this helped! Thanks so much! 😊 ❤️

[@moto__shark]

And the biggest Pro Is that they're zero water detergent. I don't know if you know, but there's this place called terra cycle where they collect your plastic and pretty much everything else. Thanks for the video!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Moto Shark Definitely! Yes, Terracycle is great! Thanks for watching!!

[@rgrn220]

I have use the washing sheets which can be torn or cut into the size needed for the load. They seem to work very well, and as far as the Dropp fabric softener cubes I have a HE washing machine I tore the bag and put it right in the fabric softener dispenser, I did not put a fabric softener sheet in the dryer, and it seemed to have worked very well. 👍🏽✌🏽🌹💚🌎🇺🇸🌹

[@StrollingThroughLife]

I love detergent sheets! And good tip. I'll have to try using it that way. Thanks for watching!

[@NaturallyMermaid]

Such a thorough review (as usual). I would need something a bit more powerful with odor removal, but if you try the scent booster as others have recommended, I'm interested to hear your opinion.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Naturally Mermaid Thanks!! Yes, I’m excited to try out the scent boosters. I’ll definitely let you know how it goes!

[@samiraumar2988]

[@ciannacoleman5125]

I’ve never really liked detergent pods, I’ve tried a couple over the years (standard ones not eco) and maybe it’s my imagination but they don’t work as well as liquid or powder. We recently started using Earth Breeze and it works really well, I like unscented soap as clothes don’t need to have fragrance on them lol. We typically add baking soda to stinky loads which works beautifully.

[@saafewolf69]

Thanks for the very thorough review and information.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Kent C You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@emilyc2470]

Great review! I would probably use the sensitive skin one as I'm super sensitive to fragrance/strong detergents due to my rosacea, but sometimes if i have pit stains/an extra smelly load of laundry, Ill put some baking soda in with my wash. I feel like baking soda usually comes in a cardboard box, so its a good plastic free option!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Emily C Thanks!! Yes, I love that they have a sensitive skin formula! I’ve used baking soda before and it does work pretty well. Yay for plastic free options! Thanks so much for watching! 😊

[@SandyM1968]

Have you tried the active wash line yet?

[@tatysapp]

I literally have a box of dropps coming tomorrow.i got the scent booster as well so we’ll see how that goes 🤞🏽

[@tatysapp]

And I’ll try 2 in one load to see if that helps with odor 🧐

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Sundaie Living with Taty Sapp Ahhh! No way haha! Yes, I’d love to hear what ya think! I’ll be trying the scent boosters soon. Everyone has been saying that they’re great!

[@emilyharter3996]

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Chew on That Thanks!! Lol! If you end up trying them out, let me know what you think!

[@GeeklingNo1]

Something to note is what the goopiness would do in an He washer. Bc you load it into the detergent reservoir the goop will likely stay in there and never reach your clothes. Also you’re probably using a cold setting to reduce energy but it might not be warm enough to dissolve. Thx for the review?

[@malkahmollie]

You don't put these in the reservoir even an HE, they go into the drum on all washers

[@califuturist]

When I’m washing, I always let the water agitate for a couple of minutes before adding the clothes. I practice this whether it’s pods, liquid or powder.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Cali Futurist That definitely helps it dissolve completely. 😊👍

[@AmyAlejo]

Could I throw in the detergent and softener at the same time?

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Yes!

[@madisonlee6752]

I used for over a year, but no matter what I did the pods left a residue of white on any dark clothing

[@EbonRaven]

Sorry, PVOH is plastic. Dropps is now off the list for me. But I appreciate you doing this review!

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Totally understand being hesitant about PVA

[@jourdynne27]

Have you (or anyone in the comments) tried using 2 pods with extra stinky loads? I have a heavily-soiled setting on my washer that I’ll use two of my current pods for, I’m curious if doing the same with these would work to get the tough odors out.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

Jourdynne I haven’t tried that! But a couple of people have said that their scent booster pods have worked for them. I’ll be trying them soon!

[@MR-wf7do]

I completed the entire box and not once did the pods froth so much for me.. even when I used 2 pods.. 🤔

[@bf309]

Please try molly sudds

B Mill I haven’t heard of them! I’ll have to check them out! Thanks for the recommendation!

[@nguyenvmy]

Which scent was your favorite? I’m one of those that love having the smell to know if my clothes are clean. I didn’t like the fresh scent that they have and that was the only one I’ve tried so far. Looking forward to seeing your review on the scent boosters! I never heard of that before.

[@StrollingThroughLife]

My Nguyen Ohhh that’s tough because I’m not sure I have a favorite. They all smelled great to me! But I would suggest trying the lavender eucalyptus. The fresh scent and the clean scent smell very similar for me. I’m excited to try the scent boosters! A lot people have said they work really well! Thanks for watching the video! 😊

[@LuLuLately]

Since I haven’t heard you comment on this aspect, I’m curious if you ever read the ingredients listed on these products? I was looking for cleaning reviews on Branch Basics when I came across your content. So after seeing a few of your other product videos I went to research their ingredients. Sadly I was disappointed by what I found. While I love the concept, I’m more Concerned about overall heath risks. Sustainability for the planet is awesome but I feel we should Be focused on making our bodies just as green. Now if I was only worried about packaging/cleaning power, products like cleancult, bluland and drops would be fine. Then again if it wasn’t for the plastic most would prob still be using brands like method or Ms. Meyers which are also anything but natural. So why no just use cardboard boxes Of certain mainstream detergents? Could be just as “green” plus it would save people Money. I’m hope you don’t Find what I’m saying to be rude. I really do appreciate your time & Dedication on your videos, I know how consuming they can be. Im just frustrated with our countries lack of health mandates in the cleaning industry. We’ve been lied to for years because there’s no laws in The United States on disclosing ingredients so they get away w false advertising. Now with this new market to corner these companies are taking Green Washing to a whole new manipulative level, which I find very unsettling.

[@Myself-yh9rr]

Right now I am giving Molly's Suds a try. I got the activewear formula and am trying it out to see if it gets stains off pillow cases. I hear a lot of good things about it so now to see if those people are full of sh!t.

[@sofialindh3363]

If you let your smelly clothes soke in vinegar and hot water for half an Hour before you wash them then the smell disappears ( but I use soap nuts and not dropps)
