The problem with the big plastic jug

Most of what you're pouring into the drum is water. And you're paying to ship it.

Liquid detergent is mostly water in a heavy plastic bottle — awkward to carry, easy to spill, and nearly always over-poured. Pods fix the mess but still come wrapped in plastic tubs.

A detergent sheet is just the detergent. Pre-measured, feather-light, and it dissolves in your machine — hot or cold, standard or HE. No jug, no measuring cap, no plastic packaging.

0% plastic packaging
60 pre-measured washes in one letterbox-size pack
3 steps tear, drop, wash — nothing to measure or pour
99.8% surfactant biodegradation in 7 days (GB/T 15818-2018)

How it works

Three steps. No measuring, ever.

Taking a sheet from the open box

Tear

Take sheet from the box. Each one is pre-measured, so there's nothing to pour or judge by eye.

Tear drop wash 01
A single sheet, ready for the drum

Drop

Place it straight into the empty drum, then load your clothes on top. It dissolves in hot or cold water — no drawer, no residue.

Tear drop wash 02
Clean suds after the wash

Wash

Run your normal cycle. Works in every machine, including HE. Clothes come out clean, with a light fresh scent.

Tear drop wash 03

Emerald Homes co-founders Stephen Dawson and Mark Corballis

Irish-owned, with a point to prove

"We just wanted something simple, a genuinely non-toxic, low-waste alternative for our own households."

Emerald Homes was founded by Stephen Dawson and Mark Corballis. Like most households, theirs had a shelf of half-finished plastic jugs — and the eco alternatives they tried didn't clean well enough to keep using.

So they set out to make a detergent sheet that works as hard as the big brands, published every ingredient on the pack, and got it onto shelves at select SuperValu locations and Lotts & Co. Small team, Irish-owned, and every review read by a founder.

DELIGHTED WITH MY SWITCH TO EMERALD HOME
I love supporting Irish brands, and Emerald Home has genuinely impressed me. I have been thinking about changing to something more eco friendly for a while and have found these to be easy to.store, love that their plastic-free, and they do a great wash. Next day delivery is fab and the customer service couldn’t have been friendlier. They are easy to contact and I ove their subscription service so I never run out. It’s great to see sustainable innovation coming from right here in Ireland. Highly recommend giving them a go if you’re looking for a greener way to do laundry while backing local business!

Tried once, now subscribed!
I’ve been using these laundry sheets for a few weeks now and I’m genuinely impressed. The scent is beautiful, fresh and natural without being overpowering. What really sold me was how well they handled my kids’ clothes, which usually come out of the wash still stained or smelling of the outdoors. These sheets did a serious job from the very first wash. After trying them once, I signed up for the four-week plan without hesitation. I’ve already recommended them to family and friends, they’re that good.

Amazing Laundry Sheets
I absolutely love this product for so many reasons. It’s eco-friendly and outperforms any traditional laundry detergents or fabric softeners I’ve used. Just 2–3 sheets leave my clothes soft, fresh-smelling, and clean without harming the environment. The compact box is incredibly convenient and holds the same cleaning power as a bulky conventional detergent container, which is also environmentally friendly. Plus, having it delivered straight to my door makes the whole experience even better! I love it!

Happy Customer!
This is my second purchase. I am happy with laundry results, clearns very well, sheets fully disolve with no residue, and have a nice fresh scent. Super easy to use. No more spills or looking for plastic containers for the liquid detergent and no more bulky plastic packaging taking up so much space in my utility room. Arrives very quickly too. I am a happy custome!!

Perfect Cleaning!
From start to finish, I was very impressed with my laundry sheets. They arrived the day after purchasing online. I loved the eco friendly packaging and gorgeous smell. I have a busy house with three kids playing lots of sports and I'm delighted to say the Emerald Homes sheets left our clothes perfectly clean and smelling beautiful. Would definitely recommend.

I LOVE THESE SHEETS
Thank you so much, I love these detergent sheets. I love the smell and that they are so good for the environment. The very best of luck as it is about time we can buy something that does not come in plastic and contains traces of plastic. Thank you Emerald Homes. When are you doing dish washer sheets too please.

Great product
Easy to use, no messing about with nasty liquids & powders spilling on hands and surfaces. Have done a few washes now and clothes have come out lovely and clean with a light natural fragrance. Nice compact recyclable/compostable box too. Delighted to be rid of plastic containers, I'm converted.

What's in my detergent

Five ingredients. All named. All explained.

No "fragrance blend" mysteries. This is the complete formula by weight, from our supplier's safety data sheet.

Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate — 58%

The cleanser

The main surfactant — this is what lifts dirt and stains out of fabric. Also known as SLS, and a recognised irritant at concentration, heavily diluted across a full drum of water.

Fatty Alcohol Polyglycol Ether — 17%

The grease-fighter

A surfactant that breaks down oils and food marks.

Polyvinyl Alcohol — 15%

The binder

Holds the dry sheet together, then dissolves in water. Our biodegradation testing covered the surfactants and not the PVA, so we make no claim about how it breaks down.

Water — 9%

The base

Purified water used in production — nothing added, nothing hidden.

Parfum — 1%

The scent

Sea Breeze. Light rather than perfumed. We do not currently make a fragrance-free version.

Questions, answered straight

Frequently asked

Does it really clean as well as normal detergent?

Yes — that was the bar we set before launching. The surfactants in each sheet are the same class used in premium liquids, just without the water and the jug. And if your wash disagrees, the 30-day money-back guarantee applies: tell us and we refund you.

How do I use them?

Tear, drop, wash. Place one pre-measured sheet straight into the empty drum — not the drawer — then load your clothes on top and run your normal cycle. Tear a half sheet for small loads. It dissolves in hot or cold water, in every machine type including HE.

Is it safe for babies, sensitive skin, and septic systems?

The sheets are non-bio with no enzymes, and free of bleaches, phosphates, optical brighteners and dyes — which is what most people washing for sensitive skin are looking for. They are septic-safe, and vegan and cruelty-free. They do contain 1% fragrance, and we do not currently make a fragrance-free version, so if you need zero fragrance these are not the right product for you. Every ingredient and its percentage is published above.

Does it work in cold water and HE machines?

Yes to both. The sheets work from cold through to 60°C, and by hand, and they suit every machine type including high-efficiency front loaders — there's no drawer involved, the sheet goes straight in the drum.

What if I don't like it?

Email us within 30 days of your order and we'll refund you — no returns paperwork, no "store credit", no interrogation. We'd rather know why it didn't work for you.

How do I cancel or pause a subscription?

From the link in any order email, in two clicks — pause, skip a delivery, or cancel entirely. No fees, no notice period, no retention scripts. You can also just reply to any email or use live chat and a human will do it for you.

How many washes do I get from one pack?

60 sheets per pack — that's 60 washes at one sheet per full load, or more if you tear half sheets for smaller loads.

A giving programme is coming

We're working on a way for every pack sold to support households in Ireland that need it. We'll only announce it when it's real — details later this year.
