How to save more than $300 per year in detergent
We’re all feeling the pinch at the moment. The cost of living is rising and it seems like grocery bills keep on going up and up for the same items. But, what if we told you that you could save more than $300 per year just by switching from regular detergent to detergent sheets.
Good for the planet, good for your skin, and even better for your wallet; detergent sheets will completely transform the way you clean. But, how exactly do they help you save some cash? We’re going to take a look here at several ways using detergent sheets will reduce your household bills.
How Detergent Sheets Will Save You Money
There are several ways that detergent sheets will help you save more than $300 on cleaning products. Our pre-measured sheets cost less than the equivalent in regular detergent, meaning every load of dishes or washing that you do will be saving you coin.
Let’s find out how our sheets are a more cost-effective and efficient option for your household.
Cheaper Cost Per Load Than Regular Detergent
Firstly, let’s take a look at how much our sheets cost. Our detergent sheets, both laundry and dishwashing, are less than $30 for a pack of 60 sheets. That works out to less than $0.50 per load, if you use one sheet.
If we compare that to regular detergent options at the supermarket, you can see how much more affordable our sheets are for you. For example, Omo Liquid Laundry Detergent costs $28 for 2L, which gives you 40 loads. That’s $0.70 per load. Or Dynamo Professional Detergent Capsules cost $18 for 14, which makes it $1.28 per load. How about Finish Dishwashing Tablets, which cost $68 for 56 tablets, which makes it $1.21 per load.
Our detergent sheets give you a consistently low price, meaning you only spend $175 for the year on laundry detergent or dishwashing detergent, as opposed to over $450 for the year with some regular detergents. Or you could save even more with our bundles, which combine both laundry and dishwashing packs together for $50.13, which makes it $0.40 per load, or less if you only use half a sheet on occasion.
Even Better If You Use Half a Sheet
If you want to save even more money, then you can use half a detergent sheet per load. Half a sheet is enough for a load that includes lightly soiled clothes or dishes that have been pre-rinsed. This will instantly halve the cost of your load to less than $0.25, meaning you could even save $500 for the year.
Sheets Stop You From Using Too Much or Too Little
One of the most difficult parts of using regular detergent is measuring how much you need. Whether it’s liquid or powder, you usually have to scoop enough product into your machine to clean your clothes or dishes properly. This often leads to either overdosing or not using enough detergent.
If you overdose on detergent, it can ruin your clothes, clog up your plumbing system and pollute the natural waterways. It also means you’ll have to buy detergent more regularly, which costs you more money.
On the other hand, if you don’t use enough detergent, your dishes or clothes will not get cleaned properly, and you’ll likely have to run another washing cycle, using more water and electricity.
Our pre-measured sheets help you avoid all of these problems. You can simply use one sheet per load, or even half a sheet if it’s only a small load or items that are not overly dirty. This means you know exactly how many loads you’ll get from our boxes and you won’t be making any mistakes with the dosage.
Use a Cold Water Cycle
Our detergent sheets dissolve in any water, no matter the temperature or cycle you use. You can easily switch to a cold water cycle and even a shorter cycle than usual with our sheets, which will save you time and electricity.
Hot water cycles tend to take longer and use far more energy, in both washing machines and dishwashers. In fact, using cold water for washing can reduce your energy bill by 80% and produce about 65% less carbon emissions, according to Sustainability Victoria. If your clothes are just a little dirty or it’s a regular load of dishes, then our detergent sheets will still do their job in cold water, so consider this for your next load.
No Need to Purchase Additional Fabric Softener
With our 2 in 1 laundry detergent sheets, you don’t have to purchase any additional products for your washing cycle. Our sheets include both detergent and softener, meaning your clothes and linen will come out perfectly clean and soft without having to worry about adding some softener to your load. That’s one less thing to add to your grocery list!
What Would You Do With an Extra $300+ Per Year?
By using detergent sheets, you can save more than $300 per year, especially if you only use half a sheet for smaller loads and switch to a cold cycle. Think about all the things you can do with the additional cash; head off on a weekend away, take your kids for a day out, enjoy a date night, or invest in some more eco swaps for your home.
Consider trying our detergent sheets today and you’ll never go back.
