I almost started laughing out loud - did my son seriously think a sheet could get his laundry clean?
It seemed impossible to say the least, but Jake insisted these little sheets could replace my giant liquid detergent jugs.
When I saw the size of that package compared to what I'd been buying, I was completely speechless. That tiny package contained 60 loads of laundry – the same as my heavy jug – but it fit in his desk drawer!
Jake's roommate had a whole semester's worth of detergent stored in a space smaller than a shoebox.
I've been doing laundry for over 20 years. I haul those heavy jugs from the store to my car, from my car to my house, and then find space to store them in my already-crowded laundry room – and to think that something this small and light could do the same job was mind-blowing.
So I asked Jake how these sheets actually work, and he said: "Mom, think about it – why do we need to pay for and carry around all that water? Liquid detergent is up to 80% water, these sheets are just the actual cleaning ingredients without all the filler."
Hmm, so it's not only space-saving, but it's also more concentrated. Interesting.
But I was still skeptical: "Honey, this can't possibly clean your muddy football jerseys!"
He laughed and showed me his laundry basket – everything was spotless, fresh-smelling, and stain-free.
