Have been using these for about 6 months now. Starting because I was looking for an environmentally friendly alternative for laundry. Plus I was hoping to take them at their word, no need for fabric softeners etc. I am happy so far.
Have used them at home in my HE washing machine (HE machines require low sudsing HE type detergents). Have also taken them traveling. The laundry is clean with one pouch (it says use 2 for largest/dirtiest loads - I haven't yet and I'd say I push the load limit sometimes)
I have stopped using fabric softener and the clothes are still soft, although as we head into winter now (dryer/colder here in New England) I do notice more static cling than before. Not enough to add softener, but it is there.
I am very happy and will continue to use this product. The only caveats are that...
1 - I do take them at their word to put the Dropps packet in the washer drum first, then the clothes on top of it. (Not in the detergent cup but in the drum) I have never had a packet NOT dissolve yet - home or away)
2 - When traveling it is a good idea to put the packets you are taking in a hard sided container - like a small food storage container.

Dropps are so simple and easy to use. Just dropp the packet in the wash and that's it. No mess and no fuss! Works in all washers even HE and works on any size load and any temperature.
I recently had the chance to try Dropps via the word of mouth marketing site BzzAgent.This product interested me because of its claims to be space saving, enzyme free, safe for all clothing types, and it educated me on the disadvantages to dryer sheets.It's a great product in concept, as I was waiting for an introduction of laundry "packets" like there are for dishwashers now.The problem came during my actual trial of the product in my laundry.I noticed that some clothes just did not come out completely clean or clean-smelling.I never had anything truly stained so I cannot vouch for its power with that, but sweaty clothes still smelled sweaty and needed a second washing--which just defeats the purpose of the product.
Easy to use. Great for the environment.College kids love 'em because there are no heavy bottles to lug around.Just make sure you keep them in their sealed bag or a container so that they don't dry out.
I live in a tiny studio apartment on the top floor of my building, so I was really excited when I got a sample of dropps in the mail from Bzz Agent to try.They're wonderful!I can fit detergent for as many loads as the regular stuff in a box about 1/4 of the size (and less than a pound!)No lugging big jugs up to my apartment and then trying to hide them under the bed- the dropps can fit right in my laundry basket!
