What are wax strips?
Laundry strips are ultra-thin sheets containing concentrated detergent. One strip = one wash. They dissolve completely in water, leave no plastic residue, contain no microplastics, and are often palm oil-free. Because they're so compact, they're ideal for use at home and on the go. Available in scents like sea breeze and spring blossom. And, of course, in plastic-free packaging.
Why choose wax strips?
Laundry strips aren't just a gimmick. They're proven to be more durable and convenient than traditional liquid or powder detergent:
| Characteristic | Traditional detergent | Wax strips |
|---|---|---|
| Packaging | Plastic bottles or cardboard boxes | Plastic-free, recyclable packaging |
| Dosage | Often too much or too little | Always perfectly dosed |
| Space usage | Big and heavy | Compact and lightweight |
| Environmental impact | Microplastics, palm oil | Biodegradable and vegan |
| Ease of use | Spilling, measuring | Grab a strip and you're done |
