EcoHaus Laundry Sheets for Sportswear, 60 Washes, Meadow Flowers

Find an overview of testing and measurements on our Sustainability.

Yes.EcoHaus laundry sheet variants were tested by the Technical University of Liberec laboratory using OECD 301 F methodology. The whole product was dissolved in a standard test medium with microorganisms from a wastewater treatment plant. After 28 days, all tested variants exceeded the 70% threshold used in the report to classify the product as biodegradable. Results ranged from 82.33% to practically complete biodegradation. (The variants were Unscented, Divine Lavender, Meadow Flowers, Cotton Magic, Sea Breeze and versions for black laundry.)

Biodegradability was tested by the Technical University of Liberec laboratory using OECD 301F methodology. The whole product was dissolved in a standard test medium with microorganisms from a wastewater treatment plant.

Yes. One sheet is enough for normally dirty laundry; for a large load, we recommend 1.5–2.

Whites, colours and delicates. Mums also successfully use them on children's clothes and socks. For black laundry, we recommend our special laundry sheets for dark clothes.

No. The sheet gives laundry a gentle scent without a chemical smell. For a stronger fragrance, customers often add our laundry perfume.

Because it is concentrated. After washing, it leaves a delicate, clean fragrance that customers describe as pleasant and unobtrusive.

Yes. Customers tell us:
“Finally, no itching after washing.”
“My son with eczema tolerates them really well.”
Of course, everyone's skin is different. If you experience difficulties, we particularly recommend the unscented version.

Yes. Customers most often praise their results on children's stains, towels and smelly T-shirts.

For especially stubborn stains, we recommend PUER or TAED.

Yes. Testing and customer feedback show that the sheet dissolves quickly without leaving residue.

Yes. Our customers often dissolve half a sheet in warm water to handwash delicates or sportswear. Mums and sports enthusiasts particularly use them this way.

The sheets keep well, but it is best to close the packaging. Feedback shows that very damp conditions may moisten the packaging, but the sheets themselves continue to work without problems.

The product contains surfactants for effective washing. Under the applicable classification, it carries hazard statement H412: “Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects.” We therefore advise against discharging wash water directly into the natural environment.

The sheets work well from 30°C. Customers often report trying 30°C for the first time and finding their laundry “as clean as at 60°C”.

Yes. They were tested in various regions of Czechia and Slovakia, including places where customers face hard water. The result? The same effectiveness and no sheet residue.

Yes, they do not burden domestic treatment systems.

Customers sum it up best: “I thought it would be another product that doesn't work... and it pleasantly surprised me.”

The sheets clean well, are easy to use and suitable for travelling, and have a lower environmental footprint.

Yes. Travel enthusiasts often mention this as a top advantage. They take up little space, can go in hand luggage, cannot spill and save you searching for detergent abroad.

It depends on how often you wash. For an average household washing 3–4 loads a week, it lasts 1–2 months.

No. Although our sheets are readily biodegradable, they are not intended for direct discharge into natural aquatic ecosystems. Nine variants of EcoHaus laundry and dishwashing sheets were tested by the Technical University of Liberec laboratory using OECD 301 F methodology. The whole product was dissolved in a standard test medium with microorganisms from a wastewater treatment plant. After 28 days, all tested variants exceeded the 70% threshold used in the report to classify the product as biodegradable. Results ranged from 82.33% to practically complete biodegradation.

However, biodegradability does not mean immediate harmlessness to aquatic organisms. We therefore recommend using the product only in a normal wastewater system where biological treatment subsequently takes place.

Yes. Customers often tell us they wash dog clothing, toys, harnesses and beds with the sheets.

Yes. Customer feedback shows that sports enthusiasts and mums often dissolve half a sheet in warm water and handwash the stain first.

No. If this does happen on a rare occasion, it is usually because the machine is overloaded. Simply place the sheet at the bottom under the laundry.

Yes, but subtly. Customers appreciate that laundry smells clean rather than perfumed. For a stronger scent, they add laundry perfume.

Yes. Mums often say the washed laundry is not overly fragranced.

No. Sheets dissolve completely without residue. They also do not clog dispensers like liquid or powder detergents.

Yes. Nursery staff also tested them in our study and praised their effectiveness and gentle scent.

Synthetic sports fibres easily trap sebum. It can remain in the material and contribute to recurring odour even after washing.

We therefore focused the sportswear formula on the combination of sweat, sebum and other dirt that commonly builds up in technical clothing.

Protease
Helps break down protein-based dirt.

Lipase
Helps break down fatty dirt and sebum.

Washing ingredients targeting grease
Help release sebum trapped in synthetic fibres.

An ingredient that works with odour molecules
The formula contains zinc ricinoleate, designed to bind odour molecules. It is not a disinfectant or antibacterial ingredient.

• sports T-shirts and leggings,
• team kits and cycling clothing,
• synthetic technical underwear,
• polyester, polyamide and elastane,
• common mixed-fibre sportswear.

Always check clothing wash care symbols.

Place the sheet directly in the drum under the laundry. Choose the temperature and programme recommended by the clothing manufacturer.

Do not use fabric softener if the sportswear manufacturer advises against it. On technical fabrics, softener may affect fibre properties or surface treatments.

Sportswear sheets are not a disinfectant or antibacterial product.

For special membranes, DWR finishes, taped seams and other surface treatments, always follow the clothing manufacturer's instructions. One detergent cannot be guaranteed suitable for all membranes and technical finishes.

Do not use sportswear sheets on wool, merino or silk. They contain protease, which is unsuitable for animal fibres.

Sportswear often traps sweat, sebum and odours differently from an ordinary cotton T-shirt. We therefore focused the formula on these types of dirt.

It contains two enzymes:

• protease, which helps break down protein-based dirt,
• lipase, which helps tackle fatty dirt and sebum.

The formula also includes an ingredient designed to bind odour molecules.

No. They are designed to wash out sweat, sebum and other dirt associated with sportswear. They are not a disinfectant, sterilising or antibacterial product.

Yes. You can keep using regular sheets for most everyday sportswear if the care label allows it.

The sportswear version is particularly useful if you wash sportswear frequently or repeatedly deal with sweat, sebum and odours.

This cannot be promised for every item.

For waterproof membranes, DWR finishes, taped seams and other special materials, always follow the clothing manufacturer's instructions. Different membranes and surface treatments may have different washing requirements.

No. The sportswear version contains protease, which breaks down proteins. Wool, merino and silk are themselves made of animal proteins.

For wool and merino sportswear, always use the version designed for wool and silk.
