Laundry Cubes vs. Laundry Pods and Sheets: What's the Difference?

Laundry detergent, but make it convenient ✨ Enter Laundry Cubes

Pods, sheets, and Cubes all promise a simple way to do laundry. While they all may seem similar, what's inside and what the detergent leaves behind, could be your answer as to why Cubes are the true solution to convenient laundry.

Let's break it down.

What Are Laundry Cubes?

Nellie’s Laundry Cubes are concentrated, pre-measured laundry detergent Cubes made for convenient, no-mess washing.

There’s no liquid to pour, no scoop to measure, and no need to guess how much detergent your load requires. Each Cube contains the right amount for one regular load of laundry.

They’re also PVA-free and plastic-free, giving you the convenience people love about laundry pods without the dissolvable film.

One Cube. One load. No measuring cup required.

Laundry Cubes vs. Laundry Pods and Sheets

Laundry Cubes, pods, and sheets are all pre-measured, but they aren’t made the same way.

Traditional pods generally contain liquid detergent wrapped in water-soluble PVA film, while most detergent sheets use PVA as a binding ingredient (they don't tell you that). Nellie’s Laundry Cubes are compressed powdered detergent with no outer film. They’re plastic-free, PVA-free, compact, and easy to store.

Pod film and detergent may sometimes leave residue when they don’t dissolve properly. Because Nellie’s Cubes contain no outer film and are designed to dissolve completely, there’s one less material passing through your washing machine, reducing the potential for clogs and build up.

Same convenience. Less plastic and filler.

How to Use Laundry Cubes

Each Cube is designed for one regular load! 

For the best clean:

1. Grab a Cube from the tin- pick your scent!
2. Place one Cube directly inside the washing-machine drum.
3. Add dirty laundry.
4. Choose your desired cycle and press start.
5. Store the remaining Cubes in a cool, dry place.

Remember: the Cube goes in the drum, not the detergent dispenser. Cube first, clothes second!

Why Choose Concentrated Detergent?

Liquid detergents contain a lot of water and can be easy to over pour... hello product waste! Laundry Cubes provide a highly concentrated, pre-measured amount without a heavy jug or hard-to-read measuring cap. 

No pouring. No scooping. No accidentally adding enough detergent for the entire neighbourhood. Saving product and money with Nellie's Laundry Cubes!

Convenient Laundry With Less Plastic

Unlike laundry pods and strips, Nellie’s Laundry Cubes are PVA-free and plastic-free. Their compact format also requires less storage space, making them a convenient choice for busy households, small laundry rooms, shared machines, and even travel.

Our popular 64-load size is available in a reusable tin. When you order the 256-load option, you’ll receive four 64-load tins, perfect for stocking up, sharing, or keeping laundry supplies organized. And the more you buy, the more you save!

Is It Time to Make the Switch?

If you want a pre-measured detergent that dissolves in hot or cold water, works well in front-loading machines, and helps reduce plastic in your routine, Laundry Cubes make laundry day refreshingly simple.

Just drop one in, add your clothes, and let the Cube do its thing.

Once you’re hooked, bring the same space-saving, PVA-free convenience to the kitchen with Nellie’s Dish Cubes.

Less measuring, less mess, and one very satisfying little Cube.
