Laundry Sheets

Laundry sheets are simple. They are an innovative way of adding the cleaning agent you need into your washing without relying on detergent which can harm the environment. With a focus on reducing unnecessary water usage, laundry sheets provide the same great clean without unnecessary water like traditional liquid detergents.

Imagine a bar of soap, flattened, especially for your laundry. These thin strips look like soapy pieces of paper but don’t worry, you won’t have soggy paper on your clothes. The pre-measured, biodegradable sheets give you the right concentration of laundry detergent that you need for a good clean.

Simply put it in with your wash and watch as the dirt and stains are removed! It is that easy.

Here at Oceans, our eco laundry sheets are made with seven plant-based materials.

SODIUM DODECYL SULFATE, GLYCEROL, DECYL GLUCOSIDE, BETAINE, FATTY ALCOHOL POLYGLYCOL, POLY, TRISODIUM CITRATE.

SODIUM DODECYL SULFATE: We use a plant-based surfactant created from coconut oil. The substance is used to break the water tension and remove dirt and stains from the fabric during the wash cycle. We use a dioxane-free, plant-based SDS that is also biodegradable and does not bioaccumulate in water or land.

GLYCEROL: Glycerol is a sweet, viscous, colourless and odourless liquid. The quality of glycerine as a solvent, along with its hygroscopic properties (ability to absorb water vapor) make it good for cleaning and stain removal. These properties allow glycerine to soften the hardened stains, so that even old stains can be removed more easily.

DECYL GLUCOSIDE: Decyl Glucoside is a mild cleanser often used in cosmetic formulations and products for individuals with sensitive skin. Decyl Glucoside is a natural and biodegradable ingredient derived from corn and coconuts. In our laundry sheets, Decyl Glucoside helps to remove dirt and oils more effectively.

BETAINE: Betaine is a naturally produced ingredient that can be used instead of dry sulphates. Betaine is extracted from molasses, which is the juice of sugar cane and is an effective cleaning agent due to its high surface activity.

FATTY ALCOHOL POLYGLYCOL POLY (VINYL ALCOHOL): A fully biodegradable non-ionic surfactant we use in our laundry sheets to fight stains and break down residues such as oil and soap.

POLY (VINYL ALCOHOL): A biodegradable polymer used as a binder in our detergent. The substance has an ability to be broken down by microorganisms and therefore makes it completely safe for the environment. It is non-toxic to humans, animals and marine life.

TRISODIUM CITRATE: The use of trisodium citrate improves the performance of the detergent, it acts as a cleaning aid and water softener so that the detergent can work more effectively. Unlike phosphate builders, it is safe for the environment.

Laundry sheets act in the same way your normal detergent pods or liquid would – just in sheet form!
