When the biggest names in detergent start making sheets, you know the format has arrived. So how do they compare with smaller eco brands?

Quick answer: compare any laundry sheet on three things: the full ingredient list, what the film is made of and the price per load. The brand name on the box matters less than those three.^†

The three checks

1. Ingredient count and list. Read the brand's own page.
2. The film. PVA or a starch-based film? (read it)
3. Price per load (read it).
