We love a multi-purpose product around here! It's the ultimate zero waste move.
Highly requested by our EcoWarrior community, these Dropps pods are a more sustainable alternative to the big-brand names on the big-box shelves. Even better, they're both a dishwasher detergent and a laundry oxygen booster in one. One pod, multiple uses.
As a dishwasher detergent, these pods will make your dishes shine, every time.
As a laundry oxygen booster, the pods will add some extra oomf to your laundry routine to whiten whites, brighten colors, and fight stains.

Ingredients
Sodium Carbonate, Sodium Percarbonate, Poly(itaconic acid-co-AMPS) Sodium Salt , Trisodium Citrate Dihydrate, Alkoxylated Alcohol, Subtilisin, Silicic Acid, Tetraacetylethylenediamine, Alpha Amylase, Polyvinyl Alcohol Film (PVOH / PVA)
What is PVOH / PVA?
Polyvinyl alcohol is a bio-based film. Most evidence to date shows that these film coatings do dissolve in the water system. Is it a perfect solution? No, but we believe it's a step in the right direction. Check out our blog post for more info!

Simple and easy! No plastic
The weird plastic-looking film thing around the pods throws some people off, but these aren't wrapped in plastic! They are very comparable to other pods I've used. No issues with leaving dishes dirty or not rinsing fully. Work great with my dishwasher.

Works
my dishes are clean and I haven’t had any issues. Takes up less space that the big plastic boxes/ bags the corporate stuff comes in. Less wate, works good and comparable price. I will buy again

Work Great!
These clean my dishes really well. I am so happy that you have this product as unfortunately the other dishwasher soap blocks didn't work for me. I am very thankful for a product that is more eco friendly and effective!

These work great!
I don't notice any difference between these pods and the ones I was using before in the way that they clean the dishes, and I love that they are delivered in re-purposed packaging that I can either reuse or recycle.
