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 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’m teaching my 15 year old son how to do the laundry – this would be perfect! Thanks!!

I also added your blog button to my blog and did a mini-post about this giveaway. You can find it at http://gonnawantthis.blogspot.com/2009/06/making-comeback.html
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 like the enviroment friendly angle of this product. How great to not have a big bulky pastic container to add to the landfills!
I just signed-up to be a subscriber.
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.
These sound really great! The convenience is awesome! I can’t wait to pick some up! :)
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!
not messing with powder that gets moisture in it sounds easier to me! i am also having a giveaway for one of my paintings:

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!
that would be so easy anyone can wash the clothes!!
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!!!
I like the idea of no messy liquid or powder detergent!
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 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 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 like the no messy spills factor ! Thanks, Steph
i’d love the convienence of the product!
I love that they are more environmentally friendly than the typical products on the market today.

thank you
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.
I’ve never heard of these, love that the packaging dissolves. Love to try. Thanks.
These seem very convenient and would also be great for traveling/camping.
I subscribe and am loving it!
Oh Wow! This is so great. I would love to try these out.
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.
What a great idea. I love your website as well
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. :)
My hubby and kids could do laundry without me worrying about them wasting detergent – makes me annoyed when they do that!
They sound super easy, and i bet they would save a bunch of time!

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.
I subscribed via google reader! thanks!
This product sounds fantastic. I’m not sure it is available in my area, but I’m sure going to look into it.
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!
I love that there is no measuring and that they are so environment friendly!
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 like that they are HE compatible. I’ve having a hard time finding HE detergent for my washing machine :(
Since I am always doing laundry – this sounds so easy and quick. Would love to try it.
Thanks :-)
the fact that its premeasures is a huge thing for me!!!
I subscribe via google reader.
These look so easy! No more pouring and spilling!
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!
Okay I just added you to my google reader :-)
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).
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! :)
I like this product mainly because its phosphate and enzyme free.
Also, we can carry this for travel. Its a major plus.
i love the fact that you don’t have to measure; just drop and go.
Wow, they sounds like a time saver and easy, thanks!
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!
