I've been seeing ads for Earth Breeze and want to try it in order to get rid of plastic jugs. I don't do lots of laundry, so the price per load won't influence me that much. However, my "cold" water is really cold, probably much colder than many laundry product manufacturers imagine, even in summer. I'd be somewhat concerned about the sheets dissolving well, but if that happens, I'm planning to melt a sheet in a small amount of lukewarm faucet water and pour that into the washer. Essentially a liquid without the jug !
Have not tried powered but am tempted due to packaging. I try to not buy anything in plastic jugs.
Earth Breeze works great in my top loading HE wash. Sometimes in a cold short wash it does not dissolve, it will cling to the side of the tub. I've been using it a couple years. If they don't get the price down I will try powered.
Is that a sheet? If you have residue you may be using too much. Try half a sheet.
Start the water and drop the sheet in. Let it fill an inch or two before putting in the clothes. This is general laundry instruction, for any type of detergent.
I use Clean People (unscented), fragrance free detergent sheets. (Kenmore top loader HE.) I love it. Never any residue, it dissolves instantly, and the clothes actually smell clean.
I grew up with powdered and ugh, it was always all over our clothes. First thing I did when I moved out on my own was buy liquid detergent. That was a long time ago though, and I've gave up the jug almost 3 years ago.
(I'm still using the All Free and Clear, as a toilet cleanser, until it gets used up )

Once again, your house water chemistry may play into this. Very hard water tends to require more detergent/soap than soft water to get the same cleaning results. If your house water runs through a softener that can make a noticeable difference.

Sure I saw your first post, thanks. I was replying to someone else who mentioned a problem with the laundry detergent sheet sticking to the side.
I have no problems of that sort with my detergent sheets, but I suspect some people aren't using them in the most effective way, which is why I posted what I did about putting the detergent in first (top loader), and that goes for any type of detergent:

I used to use powdered... I had a small plastic bottle and shook it up with water before adding it to the washer.
That's clever!
