Life – Fully Dissolving Laundry Detergent Sheets

Laundry stinks, sometimes literally when you have two little kids and a husband who runs every morning. I am ALWAYS doing laundry it seems so finding a safe and gentle detergent is super important. We have a front loading High Efficiency washing machine, so we also must use detergents that are meant for HE washers. A lot to think about just to get our clothes clean! We typically use a liquid detergent, but I have also been switching it up and using these Life Laundry Detergent Sheets. Sheets, you say? Yep! A fully dissolvable laundry detergent sheet, which are so much safer than the pods I have heard so many horror stories about, that can get my clothes just as clean as any other detergent I have used.

How They Work
Life Laundry Detergent Sheets are easy to use, and because you can use them in any type of washer, you don’t need to buy any other detergent if you travel. You can even use them without a washer if needed. Since it isn’t a liquid, you just put the sheet right into the washer drum. Depending on the size of the load you will end up using 1-3 sheets per load. Small and medium loads only require 1, where an extra-large load with heavy stains would require 3. The sheets will dissolve in hot or cold water, so you can use your favorite laundry preference and not worry about opening the washer to see a sudsy mess.

I used 1 sheet for my small load of laundry and the clothes came out clean and smelling nice. They didn’t have a perfume smell as there is no fragrance added, but they certainly smelled clean. These were also perfect to bring along on our vacation as we usually rent places with washing facilities, and rather than having to buy small packages of detergent once we arrived, we just brought our Life Laundry Detergent Sheets. The ingredients are gentle enough to use on the whole family’s clothes, and I know they won’t irritate my children’s sensitive skin. I was quite impressed with how well they worked.

Packaging/travel
Life Laundry Detergent Sheets come in a small box with 40 fully dissolving sheets. This makes it the perfect size for travel as they will fit conveniently in any suitcase or bag. Because they are small sheets, you could count out the number your trip would require, and place them into a water tight bag rather than packing the full box.

They are currently available on for prime on Amazon for $7.99 (list price of $9.99).



I received these samples for free in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own.

  2. I honestly had no idea that laundry detergent sheets were a thing! Do you have a verdict about how these work with sensitive skin? I have such sensitive skin that I'm always afraid of switching detergents.

    1. The ingredients are pretty gentle and I didn't have any issues with my kid's sensitive skin, but I do know from reading that the Sodium Laureth Sulfate that's in it CAN be a minor issue to some with really sensitive skin.
