About Dropps: Dropps is an innovative liquid detergent that makes laundry “laundr-easy”. Its super-concentrated formula fits in tiny,pre-measured “toss-and-go” dissolvable pacs. Once unleashed in your washer, it’s tough on dirt, but easy on your favorite garments.
I received the Dropps sample in an envelope via the mail. Immediately, I knew this was a different laundry detergent. I opened the sample up and behold, a very small plastic pouch that looked like this:
Immediate impressions of the product were:
* I was impressed how little packaging there was. The detergent pouch dissolves right in the washer, so the only waste is the plastic pouch the product is shipped in. This too is biodegradable.
* The detergent is phosphate and enzyme free.
I did 4 loads of laundry using this product.
* The Dropps were super convenient. I simply threw them in and put the clothes on top. No measure, no pour, no mess!
* My husband can do the wash now! He fills the cap of the detergent up to the top, totally disregarding the lines for each size load. He could use the Dropps because they don’t require measurements and there is no wasting unnecessary detergent!
* Dropps would be perfect for travel to laundry mat or on vacation.
There were two samples I tried were scent + dye Free and fresh scent.
* Neither scent triggered any of my asthma symptoms.
* The scent free version was truly scent free. The clothes smelled clean, but no scent!
* The fresh scent just smelled clean. No floral, candle shop smell.
The Dropps really surprised me. They actually did a great job cleaning my clothes.
* I did loads on hot and cold, both cleaned equally well. My son had a shirt with dirt all over it (you know the I am a seven year boy and played real hard dirty shirt), that was spotless after the wash.
* The packaging recommended to pretreat the clothing with nasty stains, but I opted to try it without!
I also only used 1 Dropp in each of my loads. I am not sure that you need two. This would be the only disadvantage that I see with this product. You would have to use two if you had a large load and could not adjust the amount of the product.
After drying without any dryer sheets or fabric softener, the clothes were relatively soft. They were definitely softer than if I used my other detergent alone. I would honestly continue to use softener, as I like my towels and sheets like butter! I probably could skip the softener on our clothing.
Overall, this little product packs a big punch in the washer but with little impact on the environment. I am loving Dropps and will most definitely be giving them another shot.
I know all of you want to know where to get a coupon to try these right? Well, you are in luck! Dropps is giving away a 3 months supply of Dropps Detergent to a For the Mommas Reader! ** I am adding that they are HE compatible. In fact, I have an HE washer.

I would love to have these. seem very easy to use
I really like the environmental component! Less packaging=less waste. The simplicity is also very appealing! Thanks for the giveaway.
Anything that saves space, time, and mess is a winner in my book!
I would love to try these out! I think these would be great for kids to use as well, I will be looking for these in the stores!
I think the best part about these would be the packaging. Reduced size cuts down on the environmental impact as well as the amount of space needed to store them.
I think it sounds neat to just drop in a pre measured dropp. Neat & easy & something that really works is always a winner for me!
I would like not having the big bulky plastic container! Go Green!
Always looking for something less wasteful and something my son would like to help with–he would love to throw this in the washer! Thanks!
I love the fact that they are “green” and premeasured…how simple!! Can’t wait to try it.
I would like to try these. They sound really easy to use and ecofriendly.
I am having a huge problem with my daughter’s wash- it always comes out with big stains! They look like grease stains- I’m convinced it’s detergent… these look like the perfect solution!!
These look very convenient!
I would love the fact that I don’t have to mess with messy detergent when I am filling up a cap! I do about 12 loads a week and these would be great!
I love the fact that there is so little packaging. Finally companies are understanding that we don’t need a lot of packaging for our products.
I think I would like the softness the Dropps detergent provides. I can use dryer sheets or fabric softener because of sensitive skin and I would love something that could soften my towels and sheets.
I like the fact that is “no fuss and no mess”.
I am an e-mail subscriber.
My 12 year old can do the laundry now without wasting soap. This is great! I would love to try it.
These would be really easy and as you said, my hubby could start helping with the laundry too! Sounds like a wonderful product!
I like how easy this seems and how little packaging there is.
Ooh, I would love to try these–anything to make doing laundry easier and more fun!
I love this idea. Less mess and waste! Maybe DS would do his own laundry now!
That’s a great idea, but I’m wondering if they can be used in high efficiency washers. Hope I win!
I loved the small packaging which is great for the environment but I love the convenience. Maybe my husband will try doing his own laundry!!
I think I would like them most for convenience. Are they he compatible (front loaders)? Also I am trying to go more green, so that would be an advantage as well!
My husband is the same as yours, even with the concentrated detergents he fills them up to the top of the cap!! This would be awesome for him, lol.
I would love to try them…my son (10) is just starting to do his own laundry – THESE WOULD BE PERFECT!!
I subscribe by email – LOVE YOUR BLOG!!!
Dropp’s sounds great! Less packaging equals less waste. I like that it has a scent free version.
I’d love to have these to try! Thanks for the great giveaway!
I’d love to give these a try! Sounds so easy – I could balance my baby on my hip without doing the usual contortions to keep him from getting his hands into the cup of liquid detergent I currently use!
I’m sold. I’m so clumsy. I seem to always spill the detergent on my hand – at least i do pour it over the open washing machine!
I would love these for ease of use!! :)
I would love these when I travel because I hate trying to take detergent with me. I would love these for everyday use as well! I love that there is no mess! Why has it taken so long for someone to come up with something like this. It’s brilliant!
I would like to try these. It’s great that there is no measuring!
They look so easy to use!
They remind me of the cascade things that are super easy to use for doing dishes. Now laundry can be just as easy too.
I would love to try these! I like the easy to use packaging … and I can imagine how much cleaner my laundry cabinet would be without liquid or powder in there!!!
I think it would definitely be a plus that hubby could just drop a Dropps into the wash instead of using a ton of detergent!
I subscribe via email
I think their ease of use is the best thing about them.
Just like you said, now I can do the wash! lol
Big space saver!
These are easy, environmentally friendly, and would preserve much needed space in my pantry!
i would like to try these because laundry is an afterthought for me a and i’m always doing it as i’m doing something else. would be great not to have to think and measure. i would be able to throw them in and continue with life.
I like any product that makes life simple. Throw it the laundry and go is for me!!1
I like the fact that it is phosphate and enzyme free….healthier for our families we love!
I love trying new products. This looks like a good one!
I would love to try these. My 4 year old loves to help put the detergent in the washer, but he spills it everywhere–with these, he could just drop it in. Woohoo!!!
I would love to try these! No more having to mess with measuring messy liquids and powders! :)

I think the pre-measured packets would be wonderful. Maybe then my husband could do the laundry without the frustration of asking about how much to use!
Wow, they sounds like a time saver and easy, thanks!
i love the fact that you don’t have to measure; just drop and go.
I like this product mainly because its phosphate and enzyme free.
Also, we can carry this for travel. Its a major plus.
No more messy liquid detergent spills or drips! And I could drop it in with one hand while the baby’s in the other – gotta love that! :)
Wow this product sounds so great. I have a teen son that is doing his own laundry, and this would be such an advantage (if cost efficient).
Okay I just added you to my google reader :-)
Would love to win these, especially the scent free type for my lil one. He loves to help do the laundry and this would make it easy for him to add detergent. Thanks for entering me in your giveaway!
These look so easy! No more pouring and spilling!
I subscribe via google reader.
the fact that its premeasures is a huge thing for me!!!
Since I am always doing laundry – this sounds so easy and quick. Would love to try it.
Thanks :-)
I like that they are HE compatible. I’ve having a hard time finding HE detergent for my washing machine :(
I love the fact that its a pack that you just drop and go no measure no mess and safe for the environment. That sounds to good to be true. Like you said my hubby can do the laundry. He uses way to much detergent and he dose not rinse the little cap thing and it gets gooey detergent everywhere, it drives me nuts. This would truly be an answer! All I have to say is WOW! Sign me up…
I love that there is no measuring and that they are so environment friendly!
I think these would be a great way to make laundry less time consuming. With twin 1 yr olds and a 6 yr old boy – we are constantly doing laundry. I would be interested to see if I could stop spot treating EVERYTHING as I seem to have to do now…Also, I could maybe get my husband/son to help out with the laundry. Throwing the little packet in the water seems like something that my son could do to help mommy out!
This product sounds fantastic. I’m not sure it is available in my area, but I’m sure going to look into it.
I subscribed via google reader! thanks!
I would love to have the 3 month supply of detergent. I have a family of 4 and you wouldn’t believe how much laundry I do in a week.
They sound super easy, and i bet they would save a bunch of time!

My hubby and kids could do laundry without me worrying about them wasting detergent – makes me annoyed when they do that!
They sound like a life saver. There are 7 people in our family and laundry is a never ending project. Any way to make it easier is something I would absolutely love. I hope I win. :)
What a great idea. I love your website as well
I think that the fact that you don’t have to measure will make them so convenient. I am teaching my 7yr old to do the laundry so anything that makes it easier.
Oh Wow! This is so great. I would love to try these out.
I subscribe and am loving it!
These seem very convenient and would also be great for traveling/camping.
I’ve never heard of these, love that the packaging dissolves. Love to try. Thanks.
Adore the thought of these. I am thinking I might be able to teach my 7 year old to do her own laundry with these. It is a stretch but perhaps with the ease of these my hubby could do his own laundry too???
Would love to try them to see how they work on our cloth diapers.
Also thinking the convenience of these would be great for my hubby while he is over in the Middle East, would make walking to the laundry room easier if he just needed to carry one packet with his laundry instead of the whole jug.

thank you
I love that they are more environmentally friendly than the typical products on the market today.
i’d love the convienence of the product!
I like the no messy spills factor ! Thanks, Steph
I read that using too much detergent makes clothes dry stiff, and I think I have that problem. These might help me to use the right amount.
I always get detergent stains on my clothes. I am way too lazy to add the liquid BEFORE my clothes, so we end up with odd spots all the time. I find the idea of this exciting. I use cloth diapers for my son, so I would be very tempted to see how they do on “do”. LOL!
I could do the laundry while holding my 8 month old! We live in an apt building and the laundry is on the 1st floor. I often take my son with me to do laundry. I wouldn’t need a 2nd hand if I had these!
I like the idea of no messy liquid or powder detergent!
I like that it’s HE compatible and scent free. My 3 boys (ages 3 and under) are sensitive to chemicals and they are also super messy, so this free Dropp laundry detergent would be awesome!!!
that would be so easy anyone can wash the clothes!!
These would be great for when I travel. I do a lot of business travel and haven’t found a good way to take my laundry detergent with me due to spillage, need to measure, etc. So I end up buying the smallest box I can find which is often overpriced and not my normal brand (which can cause allergy issues for me). These look like they would provide a great solution.
Thanks for the chance to win!
not messing with powder that gets moisture in it sounds easier to me! i am also having a giveaway for one of my paintings:

Oooohhh…these sound fantastic! I’ve never heard of this brand, but would definitely like to give them a try. The thing I would like the most is not having to clean up drips of laundry detergent off the laundry room floor!
These sound really great! The convenience is awesome! I can’t wait to pick some up! :)
I like that you don’t have to measure the amount. This would be great for my older boys who are learning how to wash their clothes.

I like the enviroment friendly angle of this product. How great to not have a big bulky pastic container to add to the landfills!
I definitely would like NOT having the inevitable drips and spills of laundry detergent that always happen in my laundry room…attracting lint and dirt and causing all kinds of mess! Dropps would truly be mess-free…can’t wait to try it!

I’m teaching my 15 year old son how to do the laundry – this would be perfect! Thanks!!
I think I would like most that I can just grab one and go. I am a college student and I live in a residence hall on the third floor with the laundry facilities in the basement. It’s a pain having to lug all my clothes downstairs plus a fairly heavy and bulky bottle of detergent. Knowing I could just grab one small pack and then bring it down to the washroom would be awesome.
I think it would be great to have just one little package to put in and be done with it!
It would be soooo much easier for my toddler to help me do laundry. He loves to be involved in everything, and cleaning up pre-measured packets sounds much easier than liquid or powder!!
What I think I’d like most about Dropps Laundry Detergent is no more measuring! We have to walk our laundry down to the laundry room at our condo, and the convenience of this product would really be great!
love the packaging!
also subscriber!
My husband stays at home with the kids and I know he’d be able to throw a load of wash in lickety-split with these!!
I tend to use too much laundry detergent even through the use of a measuring cup. Would love to save money with these drops along with the ease of using the drop. The drops are a great idea!
We like to go camping and this sounds like it would be perfect for us to take on our trips. Not to mention, super easy to use! ;)
I love this idea. I’ve used the drop in products for my dishwasher and this idea is perfect. No measuring or mess. Great to use with teaching the kids to do the laundry(a very valuable life skill, no to mention a mommy sanity saver).
really want to try this product. a lot of the detergent scents trigger migranes so i’m hoping this new product will work for me! thanks for sharing the info on this!
Thank you for such an innovative product! The Dropps would definitely make doing laundry at the laundry mat a lot easier! No more worries about spills on the way to and from the laundry mat. It definitely would take the guess work out of measuring how much to use!
This sounds so great! It would make my laundry day so much easier. Awesome product recommendation.
What I like best about them is the fact that there is a Scent and Dye Free option. (My son and I both have sensitivities to a lot of chemicals used in laundry soap, dish soap, etc.)
I’m a subscriber now, too. Thanks for having a website with so much good information!
Oh, I would love the packaging….I’m so tired of trying to break down those huge Tide boxes, lol!
Blessings,
Valerie
I like the fact that there is no poring. With a one-year-old in my house, the less mess the better!
This stuff sounds cool – i’d love to give it a try! If it’s that easy, maybe my husband can even do the laundry! Thanks.
I would love these because then my husband would be able to do laundry, too!! I have the same issue as you! The fewer steps the better! It would make things easier on me as well. These little things would take up much less space than the big ‘ol jug of laundry detergent I now have!
I love these!! I’ve never seen this packaging – it reminds me of the dishwashing packaging! I would love this because there would be no residue from drips down the detergent bottle – that smear and seem to grow when you try to wipe it up!! This would definitely solve that problem! :)
