Essence of Life Plant Based Laundry Sheets

A cleaner, simpler way to do laundry — without the giant plastic detergent jug.

Essence of Life Organics Laundry Detergent Sheets are ultra-concentrated, pre-measured sheets that dissolve directly in your wash. Simply add a sheet to your laundry and wash as usual — no measuring cups, messy liquid or bulky plastic bottles.

The plant-based formula uses cleaning agents to help lift dirt from clothing and dissolves completely in hot or cold water. The sheets work in both conventional and high-efficiency (HE) washing machines and are also suitable for hand washing.

Each lightweight box provides up to 48 loads, with completely plastic-free packaging — making these an easy swap for anyone looking to reduce household waste without making laundry more complicated.

They're also wonderfully practical for cottages, RVs, camping, travel and small-space living. No heavy detergent bottle to haul around and no risk of liquid detergent leaking in your luggage.

Made in Canada.

Why We Love It

This is one of those sustainable swaps that doesn't require you to completely change the way you live.

Instead of buying another large plastic laundry detergent jug, you have one small cardboard box containing enough detergent for up to 48 regular loads.

There's also no measuring. One sheet is already portioned for a standard load, which means less mess, less waste and no sticky detergent bottle sitting on the laundry-room shelf.

They're especially good for small homes and apartments where storage matters. And for cottage country? These make so much sense. Throw the box in your cottage bag, camper or RV without hauling around a bottle of detergent.

We also love that they're Canadian-made, vegan and packaged without plastic.

Small change. Much less plastic. And your laundry still gets done.

How to Use

Standard load: 1 sheet for approximately 3 kg of laundry.

Larger or heavily soiled load: 2 sheets.

Extra-large loads, bedding or towels: 3 sheets.

Place the sheet directly into your washing machine with your laundry and wash as usual.

The sheets dissolve in both hot and cold water and can also be used for hand washing.

Ingredients

Ingredients vary slightly by variety, so I would put the exact ingredient list for each scent on its Shopify variant/product imagery rather than combine them into one inaccurate list.

The scented varieties currently list ingredients including corn starch, polyvinyl alcohol, glycerin, plant-derived surfactants, water, sodium gluconate and fragrance. The Fragrance Free formula does not contain added fragrance.
