End of Life
- The Dropps pod membrane is a biodegradable, water soluble film made of polyvinyl alcohol. When the film dissolves and enters the water stream in microparticles, micro-organisms that commonly exist in nature break down the PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) to water and carbon dioxide. As many as 55 species of micro-organisms (including bacteria, yeasts and fungi) that are naturally present in water and soils are capable of breaking down PVA! Research has shown that in river water, PVAs take no more than 1 month to break down into their component parts.

How many pods does the single box come with? Does 25 loads mean 25 pods?

I admit that my husband does the dishes in my house (I do all the cooking lol). Nevertheless, he really likes that he can grab a pod, throw it in the dishwasher and done rather than having to grab the large plastic bottle, pour, etc. The pods are smaller than expected but they pack a punch and get the job done!

I used to make homemade dishwasher detergent but couldn’t get a good wash. After doing some research, I ended up purchasing Dropps and couldn’t be happier. As always with Earth Hero… high quality, low impact. Would love the option to auto-ship!

What is the difference in ingredients between this and the laundry detergent?
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
EarthHero –
Hello! All of Dropps products are comprised of biodegradable formulas that contain plant-derived ingredients. The main differences between the dishwasher and laundry detergents are in the pH and type of surfactants (the stuff that suds up!). Dishwashing powder typically has a much higher pH which helps it cut grease and break apart remaining food. The laundry pods are comprised of slightly different ingredients that are gentle on clothing, such as glycerin. We list all ingredients below each product, too! 😀

I tried these as a replacement for Seventh Generation pods which come in a plastic bag. They worked just as well and I like that I can compost the box when I’m done with it. We’re switching!

I bought a box of these to try as a replacement for Seventh Generation pods which come in a plastic bag. They did just as good of a job and I like that I can compost the box when I’m done.

These are wonderful! They get everything nice and clean and don’t leave any residue. Very nice not having to worry about the plastic from traditional dish detergents as well.

I had been wanting to buy Dropps for my dishwasher that I had never used and I was very excited when I found them at EarthHero. They didn’t disappoint, they work perfectly. Will definitively restock with the 6 pack now that they added it.

I love these dishwashing pods! The box Is recyclable or can be used to box a gift. The pods have a light lemon scent and a nice squishy feel. These little pods do a fantastic job cleaning the dishes, no streaking, and I do not feel like I’m poisoning the earth. Will buy more of these awesome pods!
