How Laundry Detergent Sheets Work

Laundry detergent sheets are a pre-measured detergent format designed to dissolve in the wash. Instead of pouring liquid or scooping powder, you add the required number of sheets to the washing machine with your laundry and follow the product directions.

What do laundry detergent sheets replace?

They replace your main laundry detergent. They are not the same as scent boosters, fabric care products or stain treatments. If you use those products, they sit alongside your detergent rather than replacing it.

How do you use laundry detergent sheets?

Place the laundry sheet in the washing machine with your clothes and use the number of sheets shown on the pack for your load size and soil level. Our FAQ gives a quick guide to dosing: laundry sheet FAQs.

Do laundry sheets work in cold washes?

Our non-bio laundry sheets are designed for everyday washing, including cold cycles. Always follow the instructions on the pack and the care label on the garment.

What should you compare when choosing laundry sheets?

  • Whether the formula is bio or non-bio.
  • Fragrance options, including whether an unscented choice is available.
  • How many washes the pack provides.
  • Dosing instructions for regular and larger loads.
  • Ingredient and allergen information.
  • Whether you want detergent alone or a set that also includes fragrance or fabric care.
