Short answer: you gain on four counts. The plastic goes, because neither the packaging nor the product contains any. Your waste shrinks, because there is no empty bottle left to throw out. You use less water, because a concentrated sheet needs less product and less rinsing. And you save energy, because the sheets wash cold as well. Taken together, one thing changes in your routine: what goes into the drum.
You do the laundry every week, year in year out. With a habit that comes round that often, a small change counts for a lot. Here is exactly what the switch gives you.
Why does the plastic disappear from your laundry routine?
Because the bottle goes. iZi-Wash Sheets replace liquid detergent with a single sheet, and neither the packaging nor the product itself contains plastic. What you do not buy, you do not have to throw away: no bottle, no cap, no sticky remnant in the bottom. Have a look at the iZi-Wash Sheets with 100 washes.
From bottle to sheet
A bottle of detergent is mostly water, packed in plastic and driven the length of the country.
A laundry sheet is only the detergent itself. That saves weight, space and waste with every wash.
How much waste does that save at home?
Every bottle you do not buy is a bottle you do not have to throw out. Add that up over a year of laundry and you will see the difference in your bin. The sheets come in paper packaging and are biodegradable, with no harmful chemicals. The packaging does not even need to go in with the paper recycling: tear it into pieces after use and put it in the soil.
How do you save water with them?
In two places at once. In the machine you need less product per wash, because the sheets are concentrated, and less product means less water to rinse it back out of your clothes. Before that, in production and transport, less water is needed too, because you are no longer moving bottles of water around.
And what about energy?
By far the most energy in a wash goes on heating the water. The sheets are made to work in cold water as well and suit eco programmes, so you can safely turn that dial down a few degrees. Dry your washing outside when the weather allows and you save again, and your clothes freshen up naturally.
Washing cold without giving anything up
A lower programme is only attractive if your washing actually comes out clean. That is what these sheets are made for.

What does it save in storage and transport?
A box of sheets takes up a fraction of the space of a bottle. You notice that in your cupboard straight away, where several packs fit in the space of one bottle. And it counts right through the chain: because the sheets are compact and light, transport emissions are far lower than for ordinary detergents.
What is not in them?
- No phosphates and no optical brighteners
- No bleach and no aggressive chemicals
- No plastic, not in the product and not in the packaging
- Vegan and not tested on animals
- Biodegradable
The sheets dissolve completely during the wash, so no residue is left in your fibres. Kind to your clothes, kind to your skin and kind to the water leaving your machine.
What does it do for your wallet?
Because the sheets are concentrated and pre-dosed, you use less product per wash and waste nothing. You no longer overdose, so you buy detergent less often. Households that switch to reusable cloths and concentrated products with iZi-Clean save €100+ a year on cleaning products.
How does this fit the rest of your household?
Cleaning more sustainably works on the same principle: fewer throwaway products, more things you use again. Washable microfibre cloths from iZi-Clean fit that perfectly, because you simply wash them in with your normal load and use them again. The sheets leave no residue in the fibres, so your cloths keep their absorbency.
How much effort is switching?
Less than you think. You put a sheet in the machine, add your washing and start the programme. No measuring, no spills, and nothing else about your routine changes. Order one pack and finish your bottle at your own pace: once it is empty, you simply will not buy another. Start with the iZi-Wash Sheets with 100 washes or go for the iZi-Wash Sheets Cherry. Questions about use or dosing are answered in the frequently asked questions.
Frequently asked questions about laundry sheets and the environment
Do laundry sheets contain plastic?
No. Neither the packaging nor the product itself contains plastic. So no bottle and no cap end up in your bin.
What do you do with the packaging?
It is fully biodegradable. Tear it into pieces after use and put it in the soil.
How do laundry sheets save water?
The sheets are concentrated, so you use less product per wash. Less product also means less water to rinse it back out of your clothes. In production and transport it saves water too.
Do laundry sheets work in cold water?
Yes, they are designed to work effectively in cold water as well and they suit eco programmes. Heating the water takes most of the energy of a wash, so that is where the gain is.
Why does it make a difference in transport?
A bottle of detergent is largely water that gets driven the length of the country. Laundry sheets are compact and light, so transport emissions are much lower.
What is not in laundry sheets?
No phosphates, no optical brighteners, no bleach and no aggressive chemicals. The sheets are vegan, not tested on animals and biodegradable.
Does any residue stay on my clothes?
No. The sheets dissolve completely during the wash, so nothing is left in the fibres.
Does it save me money as well?
Because the sheets are concentrated and pre-dosed, you use less product per wash and waste nothing. Counted over a year, that adds up.
