Activstar - ActivStrips washing strips for 32 washes

I have washed them beautifully. I am very happy with the ActivStrips. Beautifully clean laundry, my daughter didn't believe ,,mom this is supposed to wash the sheets,,, and aha it did :)

I bought Activ Strips. I confess, I always thought laundry involved huge plastic bottles and took up about a cubic metre or so on the shelf.

I open the little envelope

I have this habit of smelling everything first. Okay. That'll do. The washing strips passed the first test. They smell nice and fresh, like you just washed your hands with handmade soap. Could this little piece of paper wash my guys' laundry? I won't try - I don't know. I ran the washing machine on 30° and stuffed it full. Let the manufacturer sweat a little when he promises.

I waited for the result

And it stunned me, because as I said, I'm trying to protect the world, but I'm doing laundry just like I did at the end of the last century. That is to say, very carefully and very 'voluminously'.

Despite my initial scepticism, I am discovering the benefits of strips. They have pleased probably all my senses, except taste. I found perhaps more positives than the producer.

1. The small inconspicuous envelope not only fit in my purse at the store, but at home it took up only a sliver of space in my regular bathroom drawer. I saved a lot of storage space, which is a huge advantage in smaller bathrooms.

2. The packaging is recyclable, so there is no plastic waste for you, your surroundings or the environment.

3. The strips are extremely fast dissolving even at 30°, so you save a lot of electricity too.

4. Thanks to their composition, they do not endanger or harm the water or the life in it.

5. They are hypoallergenic, suitable even for the most vulnerable, i.e. babies, and of course for all ages with problematic skin.

6. You can wash up to 32 refills from a small packet. The instructions recommended a five-pound load for the washing machine, I had even more. If you were washing a half load, all you would need to do is tear half off the strip. The manufacturer indicates that two strips can be used for heavy soiling, but that wasn't necessary in my case.

7. You don't need to distinguish between strips for white or coloured laundry as you do with regular detergents, as they are universal for both colours and materials.

8. They don't leave stains on dark clothes, as in some cases with solid powders. So you don't have to run the washing machine again to rinse the laundry.

9. With gel capsules you get clogged waste hoses and filters, with strips you are absolutely not at risk of this.

10. They are suitable for all types of washing machines and for hand washing, they definitely won't pinch the skin on your hands.

11. They save time because there's no way they're going to spill all over the floor like the powders you dispense.

12. They are incredibly kind to your family budget.

13. By using the strips, you show that you are not indifferent to the environment, you are contributing to cleaner air or water.

It's been a few weeks since my first mistake, so I'll occasionally do some research on the availability of eco strips. And suddenly, as I've gained this new perspective on the world, I'm seeing laundry strips more and more.

And you know what? I'm happy about it. I'm starting to feel like a housewife.

They are excellent. I use them in the washing machine and for hand washing. TOP. I bought the Activ Strips laundry strips. I confess, I always thought laundry involved huge plastic bottles and took up about a cubic metre or so on the shelf.
