Oxi Booster Pods, Unscented (64 Pods) - Chlorine-Free Bleach Alternative Biobased Laundry Whitener & Stain Remover for Extra Tough Stains - Fragrance-Free & Hypoallergenic for Sensitive Skin

I first look for no plastic packaging or reduced plastic packaging if no plastic isn't available, and then I look for which product works well. In this case, the oxy clean works very well, and the packaging is cardboard recycle, and no plastics. So I am happy. After reading some other reviews, I see some are saying pods aren't dissolving, and see most have from loading washing machines, but my machine is top loading and i drop pod in while water is filling and before putting in clothes, so perhaps that is key to success....I don't know. I have never had a problem in any way. Clothes come out great. I recently switched from a liquid, plastic jug laundry detergent (and plastic pouch refills to jug) to a laundry concentrate sheet that is dry and comes in cardboard packaging. In this case, Arm & Hammer laundry detergent sheets, which has the added benefit of very little space storage and no accidental spills. It works well. I do tear the sheet up into smaller pieces to dissolve while water fills machine and then add clothes. Never a problem.

Love this product, as I am eliminating as much plastic from my purchases as possible.

These used to be the ONLY fragrance free activated peroxide product available in the U.S. However, they have changed the formula, and it no longer contains the activator (TAED). It does contain a decent enzyme package, but so do many high-end detergents. It still contains sodium percarbonate, but with sodium carbonate as the first ingredient, which for this application is just filler, something which you should avoid in a pod especially. Pods are tiny, there's no room for filler. The pods themselves dissolve poorly. In a front load washer, even an older one with higher total water usage, using warm water, I frequently find the gooey remnants of the pod and some of it's contents gluing parts of my clothing together. To use up the pods I have, I've started cutting them open and discarding the plastic wrapper. If you're using a top loader with warm or hot water these are probably fine. If you need to add enzymes, especially lipase, which can be hard to find, these are okay, but if you're looking for an oxygen boost, these are a very expensive way to add a very small amount of peroxide to your laundry.

THEY WORK

Seems to work but it needs an extra long rinse and plenty of room in the washing machine for the cover to disintegrate. We have had several shirts come out of the wash with what appears to be glue on them. I'd go with Biz instead.
