Are you tired of all the articles and confusion about laundry sheets? Here’s your guide, with real third-party lab tests to clear the air once and for all.
Everyone has heard about laundry sheets by now.Their packaging is more sustainable than plastic detergent jugs, they contain fewer chemicals, and they’re much easier to use.
But there’s a lot of confusion and misinformation online, some of it created by the laundry sheet brands themselves. So a lot of people are still asking “Which one is really the best?”
From our testing, we found that some brands do not clean as advertised. Some of the brands are ready to blatantly lie to get customers.
That’s why our team decided to take matters into their own hands and test the 3 most popular laundry sheet brands on the market, and rank them based on these criteria:
1. Cleaning power. We tested them on various stains at an independent third-party lab. After all, it’s laundry detergent, it has to clean!
2. Affordability. Laundry detergent is not a luxury item, it’s an everyday necessity. The price has to make sense compared to traditional laundry detergent options.
3. Ingredients. We evaluated the labels on these laundry sheets to make sure they had the right safety warnings and no nasty chemicals.
4. Truthfulness in marketing and transparency. Laundry sheets are mostly sold online and with that comes a lot of opportunity for false advertising. Even if a product is generally good, when I see false advertising it makes me not trust the brand, so we included that in the criteria.
3 Most Popular Laundry Sheets Of 2024 Tested And Ranked
1. EARTH BREEZE: LAUNDRY DETERGENT ECO SHEETS
PROS:
- Out of the 3 most popular laundry sheets, these performed the best in the cleaning tests. They’re the most effective at tackling tough stains and odors.
- They test their product in the United States.
- Dermatologist tested and safe for sensitive skin
- Formulated with safer ingredients (No parabens, phosphates, dyes, bleach, 1,4 dioxane, optical brighteners, preservatives, or phthalates)
- Fully dissolves in hot or cold water
- Unlike many other laundry sheets these are very affordable
- Available in 2 different scents: Fresh Scent and Fragrance-Free
- 100% Money-Back Guarantee (even if you use up the entire pack)
CONS:
- Earth Breeze will be made in the USA in 2025, but right now they’re still importing goods in order to keep prices affordable.
These sheets exceeded our team’s expectations, and they won by a landslide. To be honest, we didn’t expect these to be the winner, but they dissolved quickly in hot and cold water, and they performed the best in the cleaning tests done by a third-party lab.
It turns out this brand is one of the oldest laundry sheet brands out there, and they definitely invested a lot into improving their formula.
We also appreciate all the tests this brand does to make sure their product is safe, their sheets do not contain optical brighteners, parabens, phosphates, phthalates and preservatives and are USA lab tested free of mercury, lead, and 1,4-dioxane.
They even did dermatologist tests to make sure it’s safe for sensitive skin and hypoallergenic. We love this level of care for the customers.
The care for the customers is also visible in their pricing, we found Earth Breeze to be more affordable, and reasonable for the average American household.
Some other things worth mentioning about Earth Breeze:
- They are going to be made in the USA in 2025
- They work in all washing machines, including Top Loaders and HE
- They offer a 100% money-back guarantee, even if you use up the entire pack if you do not love it – they will refund you.
- Our team likes the Fresh Scent version the most, as it leaves behind a beautiful (but not too strong) smell.
- They are the best-selling laundry detergent sheet online and have the most 5-star reviews, and now they got one from us too
2. Tru Earth: LAUNDRY SHEETS
PROS:
- Similar to the #1 winner, TruEarth is formulated with safer ingredients too (No parabens, phosphates, dyes, bleach, 1,4 dioxane, or phthalates)
- Fully dissolves in hot or cold water
- Truthful in their advertising, doesn’t overpromise
- 100% Money-Back Guarantee
CONS:
- They lack cleaning power, if you’re looking for a detergent that can tackle tough stains and odors, this one might be disappointing.
TruEarth is our second choice, not because of the cleaning power, but because they are simply more trustworthy and a better brand than the #3 place on the list.
Similar to the #1 winner, TruEarth is a great choice if you have sensitive skin and if you want to avoid nasty chemicals commonly found in laundry detergents.
We like that the brand is truthful in its advertising, which shows that they care about their customers.
TruEarth is also more affordable than the #3 brand on the list. Earning it second place!
3. CLEAN PEOPLE: LAUNDRY SHEETS
PROS:
- Out of the 3 most popular laundry sheets, these performed the second best in the cleaning tests. But not as well as advertised.
- They too are a safer laundry detergent option, avoiding common nasty chemicals found in many laundry detergents.
- Fully dissolves in hot or cold water
- Available in 3 different scents.
CONS:
- Their marketing makes too many promises that they simply can’t back up. Like being all-natural and having no chemicals, while they do.
- They are the most expensive option on this list.
- They lack transparency about where their ingredients are from, and one of their ingredients could be from China, because this is where it’s usually sourced from.
Clean People is a popular laundry sheet, and many people use it.
However, the tests showed that they don’t have the best cleaning power, which really surprised me. Because I read in a different article that they clean as well as Tide – the test proved that’s not true.
We at Healthy Home Advocates do not like when brands overpromise and underdeliver, and Clean People is one of those brands that should become more truthful in their advertising, we would respect them much more as a brand if they just told the truth!
Here are some of their advertising claims that were proven to be false (unfortunately):
– They are not all natural
– They are not completely chemical-free
– They don’t clean as well as liquid detergent (none of the sheets do, but the other brands don’t lie about it)
After we found out about these false claims we wanted to make sure these sheets were really made in Canada as that’s why so many people love them. And we found something very suspicious:
They don’t disclose where they source their PVA, and PVA is usually sourced from China.
So they could contain Chinese chemicals, even though they usually put other brands down for having Chinese ingredients. We definitely don’t like that.
Since they already had a lot of false advertising, we suggest staying away from these sheets until they become more transparent and trustworthy.
Why Our Team Chose Earth Breeze As The #1 Winner
After testing the 3 most popular laundry sheet brands using various criteria, our team selected Earth Breeze Eco Sheets as the number one best laundry sheet. Here’s a summary of what helped us make this decision:
Best Clean Out Of The 3 (Lab tested): First of all, laundry detergents are supposed to clean. And Earth Breeze has shown in lab tests that they outperform TruEarth and Clean People.
Affordability: Laundry detergent is something we must use, so it can’t be overpriced. Earth Breeze has passed this with flying colors, as it’s only $12 for 60 loads for subscribers.
✅ Two options for scent: Fresh Scent and fragrance Free: They have 2 options one that leaves a beautiful fresh scent on your clothes, and one that is fragrance free for really sensitive people. Both work great.
✅ Customer Feedback: Another thing that helped us pick Earth Breeze as the #1 sheet is that they are the internet’s best-selling laundry sheet, and they have the most 5-star reviews.
✅ Easy to try for new customers: you can try them risk-free and if you don’t love it more than your old detergent you can get a full refund, even if you use up the entire pack. That’s something we wish all of the brands would do.
Below are some frequently asked questions:
They do work, but make sure to pick the one that makes sense for your needs. If you want a more powerful clean go with the #1 winner: Earth Breeze.
Yes, laundry sheets work with all types of washing machines including HE, top loading, and front loading.
Laundry sheets dissolve in both hot and cold water, so you don’t have to worry about that at all.
We recommend using half a sheet for regular loads, a full sheet for a big load, and 2 sheets for heavily stained loads.
