Update: Laundry Dropps

Not crazy about the packaging here... Not kid friendly...

Wal-Mart has the best price for these but it looks like they are sold online only with free shipping...

Re: When I first saw this I thought they were cough drops

oy.

that's not nearly as bad, but in the same vein, as the gun manufacturer that wanted to have their guns in fun colors, to look more like toys...they are calling it the "Bloomberg" or something like that.

not smart, people (and the second is just disgustingly irresponsible and obnoxious)

Re: When I first saw this I thought they were cough drops

Those would be great for travelling. I have a vacation time share that has a washer/dryer and it's annoying to get a small bottle of laundry soap when you know you won't use it all.

Kids should be ok if they are kept away with other dangerous cleaning supplies.

I agree with you on the packaging though -- it should be a little more clear that it's a cleaning product.

I agree the packaging is bad for kids, but I'm kind of intrigued about the product. Seems like a good idea.

I just bought these to take on vacation, we are staying at a timeshare. Has anyone used them yet? Are they any good?

I agree with you.. its very childish design.. they need to redo packaging.

I agree. Definitely not kid friendly packaging. But good idea for a product. Seems very convenient for traveling. Just need to rethink that packaging.

What a great idea for traveling but I agree with everyone else about a redo on the packaging.

I like the packaging. It's clean looking and eye catching.

It isn't the most kid friendly, but I would guess they are marketing to a younger crowd, not really families. Like college kids, and young couples living in apartment buildings. Seems like a great product for anyone who has to use a laundromat.

Oh, my laundry detergent always comes in those little "pearls! I don't think they are good for travelling because if the coating becomes damp in any way, they BURST open like a little laundry detergent BOMB. I think the packaging is modern and fresh.

Re: When I first saw this I thought they were cough drops

I normally don't travel with laundry detergent but I think they are great for home use.
Less messy then the plastic containers that drip all over the place.
And better for the enviroment too (less packaging!)

I agree. They have them out for dishwashers too. I think it's a pretty neat invention and would consider using them if I knew they worked as well as traditional detergents.

They came today so I'm trying them now...

First off I don't own a Front Loader but that didn't stop this detergent from working.

I stopped the load 5 mins into the wash cycle and opened the lid to the washer and the water was just nasty... Like it removed all the dirt, oil etc out of my laundry that fast...

So far I'm very impressed...
