AD – Honest Review of The Green Co Eco Laundry Sheets
Life has been an absolute whirlwind lately. Juggling multiple jobs while managing chronic illnesses and disabilities means my schedule is permanently packed, and my daily energy is a premium currency. To keep everything running smoothly, I have to be incredibly smart with my time, which means delegating where I can. This is especially true when it comes to day-to-day household chores.
Thankfully, my partner Alfie is an absolute gem and handles our washing completely so I can focus on my work. But when it comes to laundry, Alfie is… let’s say, a bit of a diva! He loves the finer things in life, especially when it comes to fresh bedding. If it isn’t ultra-smelly, fancy, and luxurious, he isn’t interested. So, when The Green Co. reached out about their plastic-free laundry range, we were both so excited to put them to the test.
We have been trying out the Lavender Eco Laundry Detergent GreenSheets™ alongside their matching Fabric Conditioner GreenSheets™, and today I am giving you our 100% honest review.
What Are The Green Co Eco Laundry Sheets?
If you haven’t seen the eco-friendly cleaning products taking over your social media feeds yet, let me introduce you to one company. The Green Co. is a brilliant, independent team based up in Dundee. They actually started as a school project and now serve over 100,000 people, which I love!
Their flagship product is the GreenSheets™, which are ultra-concentrated, non bio laundry detergent sheets. Instead of hauling heavy plastic jugs of liquid or dealing with messy powders that spill everywhere, these are lightweight, completely dry eco laundry sheets that dissolve in seconds. They work in hot or cold water, on every single cycle, and even for hand washing.
The best part? They are entirely plastic-free, vegan, cruelty-free, and come in compostable packaging. Plus, they are hypoallergenic and totally free from nasty toxic chemicals, phthalates, and P-FAS, making them super gentle on sensitive skin. They also take up a lot less cupboard space!
How Do Eco Laundry Detergent Sheets Work?
Because Alfie is the laundry boss in our house, he was the ultimate judge for this The Green Co review. He loves that strong, comforting scent on our sheets, so he was a little sceptical about whether a plant-powered laundry detergent sheet could deliver.
The verdict? We absolutely love the smell! The lavender fragrance is gorgeous, calming, fresh, and not at all artificial. Our clothes and bedding come out of the machine smelling incredible and feeling beautifully soft. Honestly, there is zero compromise on performance here. They tackle everyday stains easily, and because they are non bio, they don’t irritate my skin at all.
From a practical standpoint, they are a dream. There is absolutely no mess. No gooey liquid dripping down the side of a bottle, no powder crusting up the washing machine drawer, and no accidental overdosing. You just tear off a pre-measured sheet, pop it right into the drum with your clothes, and you are good to go. It is completely foolproof.
The Best Travel and Accessible Non Bio Laundry Detergent
While Alfie does the heavy lifting at home, I instantly clocked how amazing these are for accessibility and travel. Because they are about 1/10th of the weight of traditional detergents, they are incredibly easy to lift and store if you do struggle with chronic pain, fatigue, or limited strength. Meaning that if I did need to put a wash load on, I wouldn’t have to struggle with massive bottles. Plus, no bulky bottles taking up cupboard space!
I know I’ve mentioned that point twice now, but I like having kitchen cupboard space that isn’t full up with 2 feet high and wide laundry bottles.
They are also the ultimate travel companion. If you are heading away on a cruise ship or a long holiday where you need to do your own laundry, these are a lifesaver. I have written before about accessibility on P&O Iona & Arvia cruise ships, and packing a few of these sheets into your bag makes planning an accessible holiday so much less stressful. You can travel without worrying about liquid allowances, airport security, or messy leaks in your suitcase. They even offer handy sample packs for just 95p if you want to test them out on your next trip.
Final Verdict: Are Eco Laundry Sheets Actually Worth It?
Honestly, there is genuinely no downside to these. They leave no mess, they smell fantastic, and they make switching to an eco laundry routine completely effortless.
Price-wise, they are incredibly reasonable. You can grab a 64-load pack of washing for £12.56 (down from £14.95), which works out to just under 20p a load. When you consider how much space you save and the reduction in plastic waste, it is a total no-brainer.
The Green Co. also does a whole range of eco-swaps, including Cleaning Spray, Dishwasher, and Foaming Hand Soap GreenTabs™, which all work on a refill-and-re-use system. I can easily see their entire range working wonders in our home!
