“45% less plastic and 75% less water!”

But the product they are comparing it to has 90% more detergent…

EDIT: Thank you for pointing the error of my ways, guys.

This article cleared up some misconceptions I had. TIL, there’s way more water in liquid detergent than you’d think!

    I mean it sounds to me more like they are admitting they were intentionally stupidly inefficient originally. IE the one they are comparing it to has 94% more detergent, but only does 14 more loads. (74 vs 60).

      Wait until they hear how little water and packaging detergent strips use! (which is what I usually buy… this liquid just came up in the search).

        Detergent sheets rock! I’ve been traveling and need hypoallergenic detergent. I’ve carried 24 loads worth with practically no added weight to my suitcase and it won’t leak everywhere if it gets hit.

          Yeah, game changer for sure!

          • Less weight.
          • No plastic waste and the packages are nearly always 100% recyclable.
          • They take up next to no space.
          • They are often safe enough to work well with handwashing clothes.
          • They still clean clothes!
          • Generally made from better ingredients.
          • I find that many brands are also from smaller companies who haven’t been corrupted by greedy multinationals, so that’s a bonus. LOL
