Kind Laundry Review: Do Laundry Detergent Sheets Really Clean as Well?
Kind Laundry makes plastic-free laundry detergent sheets that dissolve in any water temperature, plus scent boosters and a stain stick. Buyers praise how easy and clean they are. Here's how they work, who they suit and what to know before switching.
What is Kind Laundry?
Kind Laundry sells laundry detergent in the form of thin, pre-measured sheets. Each sheet dissolves in the wash, so there's no liquid to pour or plastic jug to throw away, and the packaging is recyclable cardboard.
The range includes detergent sheets in scents such as Ocean Breeze plus a Fragrance Free version, in-wash scent boosters like Wood Haven, a vegan stain stick, travel sizes and bundles, with a subscription option for regular deliveries.
How to use Kind Laundry sheets
Using sheets is simpler than liquid, but a few habits get the best results.
Drop a sheet into the drum
Place the sheet directly in the drum with your clothes, not in the detergent drawer.
Use the right number of sheets
One sheet suits a normal load; use more for large or very dirty loads.
Wash at any temperature
The sheets dissolve in hot or cold water, so you can save energy with cold washes.
Pre-treat tough stains
Use the stain stick on grass, food or makeup stains before washing.
Add a scent booster if you like
Boosters add longer-lasting fragrance; skip them if you prefer fragrance-free.
