Uproot Clean Laundry Detergent Sheets

As a pet owner with multiple dogs and a long haired cat, there is a never-ending battle with pet hair in our home. Despite brushing, vacuuming, lint rolling/ chom chom-ing, and the pet hair release fabric softener sheets, we still battle. When I saw these Uproot Clean laundry sheets I knew I needed to try them! The sheets come in 3 packages, each with 30 sheets which can be halved to provide 60 loads worth in each package, totaling 180 loads. The scent smells soooo good upon opening them. It does dissipate in the wash, but leaves a slight scent post wash. But gone is the wet dog funk often left behind or just covered up with fragrance. For washing dog bedding these are my new favorite! It released pet hair so much easier in the wash, with a noticeable difference in the dryer lint trap. I also ran a load with our comforter and it released so much better than regular detergent ever has! Gone are the days of having pet hair clinging to freshly washed bedding. I appreciate the ease of use and they can store easily. They do dissolve easily in cold water, making them a great choice for standard loads as well. I do like a nice scent to my clothing post wash, so I would use my normal scent beads in addition to these sheets if using on regular clothing. Overall, I’m really impressed with these laundry detergent sheets. If you can get 180 loads out of a $50 package, I would consider that a good deal compared to standard powder. If you use a full sheet on large dog bedding loads, you’d…

I have two very furry pets who seem to constantly shed. I’ve tried other products that are supposed to pull hair from laundry during a wash cycle, but nothing has worked particularly well. These sheets absolutely do! I found balls of hair at the bottom of the washing machine, in the lint trap, and falling from the blanket that I laundered. Very easy to clean up, and more importantly, no longer stuck to the fibers of the blanket.So why only three stars? It’s not obvious in the packaging, but this seems to contain fabric softener. Why is that a big deal? Fabric softener kills the softness of polyester; so that soft poly material of blankets or fuzzy clothes is destroyed once it comes into contact with a dryer sheet or fabric softener. I tested this out with one of my soft dog blankets, and yes the fur was removed, but the blanket look and feel was ruined by the fabric softener. If you use these, only use them on non-poly materials and clothing.The cost is high, for sure. But I see this as a specialty item—you’re not going to use this as an everyday cleaner. In that case, I’m less bothered by the price. 30 sheets come in a package with each sheet perforated in two. The recommendation is that you use a full sheet for a medium to large load and half a sheet for a small. Unless you’re only washing a few items at a time, you’ll probably have to use that full sheet, so it’s more like that a package will only last 30 loads, not 60.I’ll keep these on hand for emergencies, but…

These detergent sheets are a clever alternative to traditional liquid detergents, especially for travelers. The three 8½ × 12-inch packages contain a total of 180 loads of laundry detergent. If this were liquid detergent, it would equal nearly two gallons. The sheets pack easily into a carry-on bag, taking up very little space and almost no weight.I tested them on bedding, and everything came out clean and fresh. The sheets dissolve quickly in the detergent dispenser of my front-loading washer, though I usually just toss them directly into the drum with my clothes. I haven’t tested them on heavily soiled laundry yet, but for everyday loads they’ve performed very well. I also prefer unscented detergents, and these fit that preference perfectly.Each package has a three-year shelf life, and once the sheets are used up, the cardboard box can be recycled—another plus.Cost:These sheets are more expensive than standard liquid detergents and pricier than many other laundry sheets. At the time of purchase, they worked out to about $0.44 per load, compared to roughly $0.13 per load for the liquid detergent I buy from a warehouse club. Other laundry sheets can be found for about half the price, though they may not contain ingredients as robust as these.Ingredients:These sheets include:1) A strong surfactant blend (the primary cleaning agents)2) Enzymes that improve cleaning performance, even in cold water3) Mild water softeners and ingredients that keep the sheets flexible and easy to…

I’ve been using these laundry sheets for just over a week, and so far, I’m impressed. They’re easy to use. Just toss 1/2 to one full sheet per load in the washer. The sheet dissolves easily, even in cold water, and leaves no residue. I’ve been using 1/2 sheet per standard load. The clothes come out clean and fresh smelling. We have a cream color Labrador who sheds so much I should own stock in lint rollers. I regularly collect hair from the seal of my front load washer and also the dryer filter. Since I’ve been using these sheets, there is definitely less hair on the clean laundry, and more on the washer seal. I don’t know what magic this is, but the sheets do seem to help remove hair from the clothing while it washes. The sheets themselves have a somewhat strong smell, which initially concerned me. My son is sensitive to strong fragrances so I normally use an unscented laundry detergent. My concerns were unfounded though. Each load came out just smelling fresh and clean, with no strong fragrance. The sheets cleaned well, and were able to combat my teen’s strong body odor without issue. I found using 1/2 sheet per load worked well. They removed soil, stains, including blood, and odors effectively. Using 1/2 sheet per load as I did would provide 180 loads per package at this price, which is comparable or better to the warehouse store price for a container of name brand detergent pods. I found these sheets to be convenient, efficient, and cost effective.

These laundry sheets are marketed to pet owners, but it isn’t clear what types of fabrics or items they are actually safe to use them on. The product description and packaging are fairly confusing, and I wasn’t able to find additional clarification on the company’s website.The instructions simply say to “load clothes,” which is vague. After researching the ingredient list, this detergent contains high-strength surfactants and enzymes, which may not be suitable for delicate fabrics like viscose/rayon, wool, cashmere, alpaca, or mohair. Clearer fabric guidance would be helpful.The listing also states that these sheets use “family safe non-toxic cleaning agents,” yet the packaging warns that the product is an eye and skin irritant and advises to wash hands after handling. While this isn’t unusual for laundry detergents, the messaging feels inconsistent.In the package, the sheets have a “fresh” scent mixed with a noticeable chemical undertone. It isn’t overpowering unless you smell the sheets directly.I tested these using reusable puppy pads for my elderly cat, which are a good test of performance. I normally run the pads through a warm rinse cycle, followed by a full warm wash with detergent. I used two Uproot sheets for a full load after the initial rinse.The sheets dissolved very quickly and produced low suds, which I appreciate. After washing, I didn’t notice any difference in freshness or cleanliness beyond how my regular detergent sheets or pods perform. The majority of…
