"They're essentially dried-down sheets of concentrated laundry detergent that dissolve in the washing machine. Lots of brands are making them, but none have made them completely plastic-free (until now with the Proofed! sheets). Yes, most sheets (and laundry detergent pods) contain sneaky microplastics, like polyvinyl alcohol or PVA, which are used as a binding agent. They break down in the wash but never really go away, as they leak into water systems and contribute to the growing plastic pollution problem."
"While I'm brand-loyal when it comes to some household products, I play the field with laundry detergent. I've hopped around from various liquid options over the years, but now that I have to lug a heavy bottle (and a stuffed laundry bag) to the laundromat every week I'm thinking of breaking up with liquid laundry detergents for good. The only issue is, other types of laundry detergents leave little to be desired; powders are messy, and pods are notoriously wasteful and full of microplastics"
Proofed! laundry detergent sheets are concentrated dried sheets that dissolve completely in the wash and eliminate the need for heavy bottles or messy powders. Most competing sheets and pods contain polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) microplastics that break down but persist in water systems, contributing to plastic pollution. Proofed! uses plant-based binders instead of PVA and combines plant-based surfactants and enzymes to remove stains, odors, and grime. The product is offered in Clean and Sport essential-oil-derived scents, plus a fragrance-free option for sensitive users. The sheets are plastic-free, easy to store, and suited for laundromat use.
