I use Bounce. I’ve tried the off brands and I don’t like the scent. I don’t know why they can’t make more unscented products.

I thought Bounce only made dryer sheets, I’ll look into them!

Good grief I need to read more carefully! I’m talking about dryer sheets. Ignore my answer please.

Store brands. Never noticed a difference.

I don’t know where you live, @Blackwater_Park, bu5 I haven’t seen generic ones around here.

I made the same mistake. I was talking about fabric softener sheets.

I’m very interested to know also. Of the ones you have tried what did you think? I like the idea of using them when I travel.

I get Dropps in the mail by subscription. Not sheets but in a cardboard box so no plastic and they dissolve. Stores are carrying them now too.

I use True-Earth sheets. Lavender and unscented. I like them because they are compact and pre measured. Also are easy to go down my stairs.

RedDeerGuy1's avatar

Sorry the brand name changed to Eco Max. I didn’t realize the change.

canidmajor's avatar

I’m glad you mentioned that, @RedDeerGuy1! I liked the TruEarth, didn’t know if changed names.

We use Earth Breeze and like it. We get it by subscription. We have a washer on the smaller size, so the vast majority of loads only need half a sheet. Of course, we aren’t laborers, so our clothes aren’t very dirty. With only half a sheet, everything gets clean. I’ve never used other brands, so I can’t compare.

Costco’s house brand, whatever it is, works for me.

canidmajor's avatar

@elbanditoroso I have never seen laundry detergent sheets of any brand at Costco, and I was just there looking last Friday. Are you sure you aren’t thinking of dryer sheets?

elbanditoroso's avatar

Yes, dryer sheets. I have never seen laundry sheets at Costco, although I buy laundry pods there.

canidmajor's avatar

I should have bonded and italicized the word “detergent” in the main Q.

elbanditoroso's avatar

Consumer Reports is not all that impressed with laundry sheets.

When I travel, I use laundry detergent pods which are very similar to dishwasher pods. A gel type of liquid inside a harder gel shell. I put a few in a plastic bottle or other container in my suitcase, for when I need to do a load or two.

canidmajor's avatar

@jca2 but the pods are not adjustable. For the smaller loads, I just rip the sheets in half.

jca2's avatar

@canidmajor the pod is a liquid. What works is squeezing some but not all of the liquid into the machine.

JLeslie's avatar

@jca2 When I travel and want to bring laundry detergent, I usually bring powder in a ziploc or small box of powder that I bought or was given at a hotel. If you squeeze out some of the detergent from a pod then do you save the rest? I never understood the laundry pod concept. I do use pods for the dishwasher.

canidmajor's avatar

@jca2 I’m glad that works for you. I would find it to be too messy.

And I am specifically interested in the sheets for this Q.

JLeslie's avatar

Do the sheets ever get stuck together while sitting in the laundry room? Would humidity possibly cause a problem? I live in a humid state. I am interested in trying the sheets though as I said above.

canidmajor's avatar

The sheets I have used have never seemed to be affected by humidity, and summers here are very humid, and my basement gets very humid on laundry days.

jca2's avatar

@JLeslie yeah, I would throw out the rest of the pod.

Word of mouth recommendations are in favor of Clean People. Might take a look at those as well.
