What is in The Clean People laundry sheets?

The maker's product page lists eleven ingredients: starch, PVA, vegetable glycerin, sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate, glycereth-6 cocoate, cocamidopropyl betaine, caprylyl/capryl glucoside, lauryl glucoside, sodium gluconate, propylene glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate and potassium sorbate, a preservative. The page also sells a Fragrance Free size of 32 loads.⁵

The maker's separate ingredients page lists a shorter nine-item list and leaves out glycereth-6 cocoate and potassium sorbate. It names fragrance only "where applicable". The maker also lists what the sheets are free from: dyes, optical brighteners, phosphates, parabens, formaldehyde, and the preservatives MIT, BIT and triclosan.¹⁰ It says the sheets leave out 1,4-dioxane.¹¹

Do The Clean People sheets contain PVA?

Yes. The maker says so on its own page, and adds that you won't find laundry sheets without PVA on store shelves.¹² PVA is a water-soluble synthetic polymer that carries the detergent until it meets water.¹³

If you want to avoid PVA, a powder like Molly's Suds is the simple swap.⁶

Is The Clean People on EPA Safer Choice, and does EWG rate it?

We found no Safer Choice listing for The Clean People,¹ and EWG's database has no Clean People products.⁴ That means we found no listing, not that the product is unsafe.

We also found no Prop 65 notice or CPSC recall that names The Clean People laundry products.^{2, 3} A Prop 65 notice is an allegation, not a finding.

Are the Clean People pods and liquid the same as the sheets?

No. The maker's list for the pods names an alcohol ethoxylate, fragrance where applicable, and PVA film.⁷ The sheets name one, glycereth-6 cocoate, and no alcohol ethoxylate.⁵

We could not find the liquid's full ingredient list as text.⁸ The product page says only that it leaves out SLS, parabens, phosphates, phthalates and synthetic dyes.

Should I buy The Clean People sheets or a powder?

Buy the sheets if you want no scoop and no jug and PVA is fine with you. Buy a powder like Molly's Suds if you want no PVA, no ethoxylated ingredient and a lower cost per load.^{4, 6}

Molly's Suds powder wants warm or hot water,¹⁴ so cold-water washers may prefer the sheets.
