Laundry Detergent Strips G5

New: Our 5th generation laundry strips are here! 🤩 We've worked hard to make the formula even better based on customer feedback. 5 Powerful enzymes that tackle stains and color. On January 14th, we asked you about your most common stains and here are the results:

Laundry strips are detergent in a handy paper form: plastic-free*, vegan, and mostly biodegradable. No more lugging heavy bottles or dealing with messy, bulky packaging. Simple, sustainable, and effective.  

What makes the 5th Generation unique? (June 2025) 

• Focus on the stains that matter: Improved removal of grass, mud, and food stains
• Less needed: More active ingredients, so you need less = more cost-effective!
• Four types of enzymes: Protease, Amylase, Lipase, Mannanase

  - Mannanase Enzyme that breaks down plant-based stains (like mud, grass, vegetables). Enzymatically active at low temperatures. Biodegradable.
  - Amylase Breaks down starch from stains like pasta, rice, or sauces. Helps with deep cleaning. Biodegradable.
  - ProteaseEnzyme that breaks down protein stains (like blood, dairy, or egg). Significantly boosts cleaning power. Biodegradable.
  - Lipase Enzyme that breaks down fats and oily stains. Works powerfully even at low wash temperatures. Biodegradable and gentle on the environment.
  - Cellulase Enzyme that cares for cellulose fibers by removing tiny fiber particles that can cause a dull haze. This keeps colors looking fresh for longer and makes your laundry look newer for longer. Biodegradable.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Stains? Rub a piece of strip with water directly onto the stain for extra results
• Not suitable for wool and silk. For that, use Cosmeau Wool & Silk
• Not dissolving completely? This usually happens if the drum is too full or not enough water is used. Make sure there’s a fist-sized gap between your laundry and the top of the drum, or add the strips via the detergent drawer. Strips dissolve from 15 degrees Celsius.
• Not much scent? Wash at a lower temperature, 30-40 degrees, and hang to dry. Rub the laundry once it's dry for a subtle fragrance. Add scent boosters for a stronger scent.

Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA)
A water-soluble synthetic polymer that acts as a binder and carrier material. It keeps the laundry sheet in its solid form and dissolves during the wash cycle. Largely biodegradable*.

Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS)
A powerful anionic surfactant that lifts dirt and grease from fabric fibers. Delivers effective cleaning and foaming action. Derived from fatty acids, but produced synthetically. Biodegradable and not harmful to aquatic life at low concentrations.

Aqua
Serves as a solvent in the formulation process. Neutral and environmentally friendly.

Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate
A powerful anionic cleanser that helps remove stubborn dirt. Delivers great foam and cleaning power, even in cold water. Highly biodegradable and gentle on aquatic life.

Kaolin
A natural clay mineral that acts as an absorbent filler. It helps structure the laundry sheet and supports the removal of oily stains. Eco-friendly and inert.

Trisodium Citrate
Acts as a water softener and builder. It neutralizes calcium and magnesium in hard water, boosting the effectiveness of other cleaning agents. Plant-based and biodegradable.

Alcohols, C12-14, Ethoxylated
Non-ionic surfactant that helps remove grease and oily stains. Works well in combination with enzymes. Less biodegradable, not toxic to aquatic organisms at low concentrations.

Glycerin
A natural moisturizer that keeps the strips from drying out. Also gentle on your skin. Derived from plant oils and completely biodegradable.

Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate
An eco-friendly alternative to EDTA. Binds metal ions (like limescale) so that surfactants can do their job better. Biodegradable and safe for aquatic life.

Glyceryl Cocoate
Derived from coconut oil and glycerin. Acts as a skin softener and gentle foam booster. Biodegradable and skin-friendly.

Hexylene Glycol
A solvent and fragrance fixative that helps distribute active ingredients and perfume. Moderately biodegradable, low ecotoxicity.

Fragrance
Creates a pleasant scent. The exact fragrance and intensity may vary, but the goal is to make your laundry smell fresher. Biodegradability varies depending on the scent and component.

Microcapsule Essence
Fragrance capsules that gradually release scent during use. Boost your long-lasting fragrance experience. Biodegradable, Planetcaps.

Dimethicone
A silicone compound that controls foaming and makes fabrics softer. Not biodegradable, but non-toxic in low concentrations.

Phenoxyethanol
A preservative that prevents the growth of bacteria and fungi in the product. Moderately biodegradable, with a slight impact on the aquatic environment.

Camellia Japonica Flower Extract
A plant-based extract with caring properties. Added for gentle skin-friendliness. Eco-friendly.

Mannanase
Enzyme that breaks down plant-based stains (like mud, grass, vegetables). Enzymatically active at low temperatures. Biodegradable.

Amylase
Breaks down starch from stains like pasta, rice, or sauces. Helps with deep cleaning. Biodegradable and eco-friendly.

Protease
Enzyme that breaks down protein stains (like blood, dairy, or egg). Significantly boosts cleaning power. Biodegradable.

Lipase
Enzyme that breaks down fats and oily stains. Works powerfully even at low wash temperatures. Biodegradable and gentle on the environment.

Cellulase
An enzyme that cares for cellulose fibers by removing tiny fiber fragments that can cause a dull haze. This keeps colors looking fresh for longer and your laundry looking like new. Biodegradable.

Warnings
As with any detergent, keep out of reach of children. Use only with dry hands. Causes eye irritation. Causes skin irritation. If in eyes: rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if present. Continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists: seek medical advice/assistance. Wash hands thoroughly after contact.

* Whether the strips themselves are microplastic-free depends on the definition. PVA is approved by the ECHA and isn’t considered a microplastic, but the PlasticSoup Foundation does see it as one. Some studies show that PVA is biodegradable, depending on the brand and type. We have certified biodegradability for our PVA based on OECD-B301. Our packaging is plastic-free and FSC certified. We’re also researching cellulose-based carriers so we can avoid this grey area altogether.
