Why It's Time to Break Up with Pods (and Fall in Love with Cubes)

Ever stared at a laundry pod and thought, "This is supposed to be clean?" Yeah, us too. 

Turns out, those plastic-coated pods and so-called "eco" detergent strips aren't as clean as they look. They're messy for the planet and unnecessary for your laundry routine. 

At Nellie's, we believe clean shouldn't come wrapped in plastic and it definitely shouldn't come at the planet's expense.

Change Is Hard (Even When It's Better for You)

We get it. Change takes effort, especially when it comes to habits reinforced by billion-dollar marketing.

People love the idea of products that are planet-friendly, plastic-free, and powerful. But making the switch from those familiar pods to our little Nellie's Cubes? That's where hesitation sneaks in. 

Let's unpack why that is, and why it's time to make the change anyway. 

1. The "Convenience" Story We've Been Sold

Pods have been marketed as the ultimate "just toss and go" solution. The tidy tubs, the easy instructions; it all feels effortless.

But here's the truth: those plastic films and strips don't fully dissolve. They leave behind microplastics that end up in waterways and oceans. 

So that "clean" product you trusted? Not so clean after all.

Nellie's Cubes deliver the same easy drop-and-go convenience–minus the plastic waste

2. We Stick with What We Know

Big brands have spent decades earning trust and blending into our routines. Choosing something new means pausing and rethinking what clean really means.

At Nellie's, we're asking you to do just that, to take a small step toward a cleaner home and a cleaner planet. All it takes is one wash to see (and feel) the difference.

3."Eco-Friendly" Doesn't Mean "Less Effective"

We've all heard the myths: sustainable means pricey, weak, or complicated. But Nellie's Cubes prove Otherwise.

They're tough on grime, gentle on the planet, and totally plastic-free. Once people try them, they rarely go back to pods or strips. In fact, the most common feedback we hear is: 

"I wish I'd switch sooner."

4. Real Change Starts Small

We're not trying to outspend the big guys. We're out to outdo them. 

With honesty, cleaner chemistry, and a whole lot less plastic, and a whole lot less plastic, Nellie's is redefining what "clean" means, one Cube at a time.

Because clean should be simple, sustainable, and safe for everyone.

The Takeaway

Change doesn't have to be dramatic. It can start with one small swap: pods for Cubes. 

Every time you choose a smaller, sustainable brand over a giant corporation, you're not just doing laundry or dishes; you're helping build a cleaner, kinder world.

Now that's a change worth making!
