The Best Eco-Friendly Laundry Detergent Pods
Sticking to the laundry theme from our last blog post on the best natural and organic dryer balls, today we are going to look at the best eco-friendly laundry detergent pods that you can buy on Amazon.
We love products that make life easy for us. If there is something that is going to help us work faster and more conveniently then we are always willing to try it out. We are not saying that we are always on the bleeding edge, but we know a thing or two about what is out there. It also feels fresh to change the way we do things so that boring work like house chores feel a little exciting from time to time. We were not one of the early adopters of today’s pick but we have definitely grown to love the compactness and ease of use that they offer. Laundry pods are one such item that has seen a rise in use in recent years.
Laundry detergent pods were introduced in 2012 and have steadily gained popularity since. They make laundry super easy. You just have to pop your clothes into the washer with one of these and physics will take care of the rest. There is no lugging of large detergent containers to the laundry room, no measuring of detergent, and absolutely no dealing with accidental spills. The whole process is clean and simple. The outer shell is water-soluble. All you have to do is place the pod or “packs” as some like to call them, at the bottom of the drum and add your clothes on top of it. Don’t add the pod after loading the clothes or else it won’t properly dissolve.
With that lesson out of the way, we hope that you are convinced about giving these a chance. Let us waste no more time and dive into the best eco-friendly laundry detergent pods on Amazon.
Dropps Stain and Odor Laundry Detergent Pods
These pods have been engineered to perform many functions. They not only contain detergents but also stain removers, color protectors, and freshness agents. They have a non-toxic mineral-based formula that contains biodegradable plant-derived ingredients and does not contain any harsh chemicals and doesn’t leave behind any residue. It is free of dyes, chlorine, phosphates, and optical brighteners. These ones are lightly scented with natural essential oils including lavender and eucalyptus.
They extend the thoughtfulness of their product to their packaging as the pods come in a recyclable, repulpable, and compostable cardboard box designed to eliminate single-use plastic. We love that the company’s dedication towards the product goes all the way and covers all aspects of the product experience. They are compatible with all washing machines including HE/high efficiency, standard, front loaders, and top loaders.
Grab Green Natural Laundry Detergent Pods
This is the first of the many Grab Green products to make it to our list today. What makes these particular ones special is that they have powder inside them instead of regular old detergent liquid. This is an excellent choice for those who have kids and are worried that the children will get their hands on the pods. If children happen to ingest liquid detergent pods due to their bright candy-like colors, shapes, and packaging, as they have in the past, it can be very injurious to their health. To keep those fears at bay, these ones are filled with powder instead of liquid and are packed in a very simple manner. Your children won’t confuse them for being edible.
Apart from the visual and material change, they offer all the eco-friendly benefits like being manufactured with more than 92% naturally derived plant and mineral-based ingredients. These eco-friendly laundry detergent pods are made cruelty free, right here in the United States, without phosphates, phthalates, chlorine, animal by-products, toxins, dyes, or masking agents. They are good for both front and top-loaded machines.

They are made from naturally-derived, plant & mineral-based ingredients, in the USA with domestic & imported components. The pods work in high-efficiency (HE) & standard machines at all water temperatures. They have a great trick up their sleeve to prevent accidental consumption. To help protect children, these simple white powder pods are coated with Bitrex. It is the bitterest substance in the world. That is a brilliant idea! We love it when companies come up with innovative solutions to problems. This is especially true when it deals with something serious like children’s safety.
