Laundry Sheets vs Laundry Powder: Which Is Better?
Powder detergent is the reliable old station wagon of laundry. Sheets are the scooter. Both get you there. They just suit different trips.
Quick answer: powder is often cheap and strong on mud and clay. Sheets are lighter, tidier and easier to dose. Pick powder for heavy outdoor dirt on a budget, sheets for everyday ease.
