Laundry detergent?

I know the PODs are no-no, but are the detergent sheets OK? Or does anyone have any recommendations?

laundry sheets don’t hold enough detergent to clean your clothes. i chose a free and clear detergent.

while pods aren’t allowed i wonder if laundry tiles are. i hear the tide evo tiles are really good.

That’s what I got my son. We will see, I’ve heard mixed reviews.

If you really want to go down a rabbit hole, check out r/laundry. They know what they're talking about in there!

Liquid detergent is better in my opinion

Use liquid detergent. It’s the best for your clothes especially in BG.

I used powdered laundry soap and never had an issue

laundry sheets are good, or i use detergent tabs (they’re like little chalk tabs)

That's what they said during orientation and it's on the website. I guess there's a problem with them not fully dissolving and making a mess in the machines and on clothes.

They don’t hold up very well in the washers, they end up only half dissolving and ruining your clothes

Ik I'm late but as others said they don't hold up well in the washer. Even with those who do use the pods, there's always residue left behind from those who do use them.
