Unscented Laundry Pods by AspenClean, New and Improved Packaging, Zero Plastic, EWG Verified™, Vegan, Non-Bio, Hypoallergenic Natural Laundry Detergent - 36 Count

Update: tried both the lavender and the eucalyptus scents. Neither scent lingers for very long at all. On one occasion, I did receive a shipment with broken pods, but that didn't bother me much. It seems when I order only detergent and nothing else from Amazon, the product ships straight from the factory and is fresh and in good shape. Otherwise, it might come from a warehouse somewhere and be older, hence the dried out pods? Who knows. *** Overall, I am very happy with the performance of this laundry detergent. The pods arrived, shipped directly from Aspen Clean, in great condition. They were intact; nothing was broken. I used one pod per load in my compact front loading washing machine and added vinegar instead of softener. There was no residue from detergent powder when the cycle was through. The pods seemed to have dissolved completely. I bought the unscented variety. The laundry smells great: like NOTHING at all! Even cotton t-shirts that usually have some sort of musty smell after being laundered smelled like NOTHING. I had that problem for years with some Lands' End shirts: I would wash them, and they'd smell really weird, even though they hadn't been particularly soiled. That smell is finally gone, thank goodness. I have tried other "green" detergents before (liquid ones), but they typically would leave my clothes smelling "musty" and unpleasant. Aspen leaves them smelling clean, without scent. If you have problem stains like tomato sauce or marker, you will still want to pre-treat them. I use a plant based stain remover spray from my regional grocery store chain. Even so, a shadow of the tomato sauce remained on the item. Maybe soaking might do the trick. The laundry even seems to dry faster, if that's possible. I line dry, and the first load already started to feel dry when I was finished with the fourth load. I will definitely reorder this product and am happy with its performance.

Love these pods and the light lavender smell. They are more eco friendly using cardboard instead of plastics and no fluff in the packaging. No harsh chemicals as we are trying to be more health aware for our family. Started using these about a year ago. Only complaint would be sometimes the pods will melt on the clothes especially if using cold water. I just rip the pod and dump the laundry detergent into the washing machine to eliminate that problem! Easy to rip! They do clean well and the powder itself will dissolve well. I have not notice a difference in if clothes have more softness or not, but I just want clean clothes that don’t have chemicals in them!

The pods on this item are always open. Today I got a new container with maybe 3 unopened pods. Its unfortunate because this product cleans very well. Its expensive for what you get in usable pods.

The price is awful!!! The product works great. Leaves clothes smelling actually clean. Not having to use those pearls or other perfume detergents is nice. I'm not 100% sold on the notion this product doesn't have harmful chemicals. But the clothes actually smell clean and takes stains out. Well, hard, and high rust water is how it was used. Can't speak to use when using township/city water lines.

Too many broken pods. Maybe stick to powder detergent till the pods are better designed. I am keeping this product only because the mild smell is really nice and the other customers endorsed the detergent. Look forward to trying this EWG certified alternative for the first time.
