Laundry strips that fit in a cardboard envelope rank high among laundry detergents for performance.

Laundry strips are an eco-friendly alternative to plastic bottles of liquid laundry detergent.  They are packaged in a small, cardboard envelope, taking up little space and eliminating the plastic waste of a bottle.  They are also easy to use: just tear a sheet at the perforation and add to your laundry as usual.  But, do they get laundry clean?  According to Jonathan Chan on www.reviewed.com, Tru Earth strips performed very well in their stain- removal tests. He describes these strips as being "ideal for sensitive skin, they are dye-, phosphate-, and chlorine-free. They’re also vegan and cruelty free. They have a little fragrance in a fresh linen scent.  Because they are low-sudsing, these laundry strips work in standard and high-efficiency washing machines. You can rest assured they’ll dissolve completely in cold water."*  Overall, Chan recommends laundry strips as "providing good cleaning power and being environmentally sound."*
