Dropps: laundry and dishwasher pods in plastic-free packaging

Shopping at Dropps? See all current Dropps promo codes and deals, checked regularly.

Dropps makes laundry detergent and dishwasher pods, and it has been at it longer than most. The family business behind it started in 1980 as Cot'n Wash, and it launched Dropps pods in 2005, years before pods were common on supermarket shelves. It's based in Philadelphia and now sells mainly online, direct to your door.

The pitch is simple: pods with biobased formulas, no phthalates, phosphates, dyes, chlorine, parabens or SLS, and no plastic jugs. The homepage says its pod film fully breaks down in water and that everything ships in 100% recyclable paper packaging. It suits households trying to cut plastic under the sink, anyone who prefers unscented products, and people who'd rather not measure detergent at all.

What's worth a look

Six from the homepage, priced for a single one-off order when we checked:

The everyday Laundry Pods were $28.89 for a 64-count bag, in scents such as Crisp Breeze, and the Sensitive Skin Laundry Pods were $33.12. The sensitive version has no fragrance or dyes, and the homepage says it's backed by the National Eczema Association and the National Psoriasis Foundation. The Dishwasher Pods were $27.28 for 64, and there's an Activewear version of the laundry pods for gym kit at $33.12.

Two laundry add-ons sit alongside the detergent: Oxi Booster Pods at $33.89, which you drop in with a detergent pod for tougher stains, and Odor Eraser Pods at $36.00. For a plastic-free laundry routine, the XL Wool Dryer Balls are $29.00, and Swedish Dish Cloths are $16.00 for the kitchen. If you know you'll stick with it, the Laundry Pods Year Supply was $140.00 and the Dishwasher Pods Year Supply $130.00.

Good to know before you buy

The pod bags come in 64, 128 and 192 counts, and the card prices above are for the 64-count size. Most pods come unscented or in a choice of scents, so pick yours before adding to the basket. The pods are made to dissolve in cold water, which the homepage puts forward for everyday washes.
