Laundry detergent sheets: a practical UK guide

The everyday details · Melt Laundry

Laundry sheets are detergent in a compact, dry format. They go into the wash to clean clothes; they are not the sheets used in a tumble dryer. If you are weighing up a change, start with your laundry habits rather than the biggest number printed on a box.

Melt 60-strip laundry detergent box

Start with four questions

How much laundry do you do? Do you prefer a subtle fragrance or no added fragrance? Where will you keep the pack? Do you want to buy once or receive regular deliveries? Those answers are more useful than assuming every sheet means one wash.

What you get with Melt

Melt comes as 60 dissolving laundry strips in a slim box, with a subtle fresh fragrance. You can tear a strip to suit your load, following the pack’s dosing guide. There is no liquid to pour and no powder scoop to measure. Keep the unused strips dry.

Check the delivered price

Melt is £15 for a one-off pack, plus £2.50 UK Tracked 48 delivery. The standard subscription price is £13.50 per pack with UK delivery included. Compare the dose you actually need and the total delivered price, not just the number of sheets.

Choose the next answer you need

The guides below cover practical choices: dose, storage, travel, fragrance and subscription flexibility. If you have a question about a particular garment or an existing order, email info@meltlaundry.com. A real person can help you make a suitable choice.

Does 60 strips mean 60 washes?

Not necessarily. The number of washes depends on the amount used for each load. Follow the dosing guide on your pack.
