Product Review: Eco-Select Biodegradable Dryer Sheets

100% Green

One day while flitting through the clothes detergent aisle of my local grocery store, I was looking for some great, inexpensive, hypo-allergenic dryer sheets. What I found was Eco-Select 100% Biodegradable dryer sheets for nearly ½ the price of the name brand dryer sheets. This product is just as effective as any more pricey version, so . . . I have to give the Eco-Select dryer sheets five out of five stars.

When choosing a hypo-allergenic dryer sheet in the past, I could only choose from the name brands at outrageous prices. When raising a large family, spending more than $4.00 per a box of dryer sheets every two weeks is not budget friendly. The Eco-Select dryer sheet is an inexpensive alternative that is great for the environment. But, as with all products there are Pros and Cons.

PROS

Effectiveness

The Eco-Select dryer sheet was totally effective at preventing static cling on all of my clothes and different fabrics. I softened the clothes just as well as any named brand dryer sheet.

Price

At less than $3.00 per 80-count box, not only was the Eco-Select dryer sheet cheaper than any other hypo-allergenic dryer sheet on the market, it was also cheaper than almost every regular dryer sheet as well (both name and store brand).

Earth-Friendly

The Eco-Select dryer sheet is 100% biodegradable. The sheets will totally dissolve into the earth leaving no residue within 21 days. They are made from 100% renewable resources and even the box is made with 100% recycled paper (35% of which is post consumer waste). The Eco-Select dryer sheet is perfectly earth-friendly for a "greener" tomorrow.

CONS

Scent

As with every hypo-allergenic dryer sheet, the Eco-Select dryer sheet has absolutely no scent. This leaves the clothes without that notable "just dried" scent. Even though this characteristic was the same with all hypo-allergenic dryer sheets, I still consider it a CON.

Packaging

In a retail market driven by looks and eye-catching appeal, the packaging for the Eco-Select dryer sheet leaves much to be desired. The no-frills package is consistent with eco-friendly products, but will not catch the eye of the consumer.
