These have just popped onto the shelves in Australia also, I was wondering about the quality of it, I don't think I will try them as the only scent they have is this terrible Lavender which im not a fan of :-/

Urban myths are hard to die
"[...] all Dizolve sheets are non-biological for a more natural wash that is kinder to your skin."
Sadly, it seems almost impossible to finally get rid of this absurd urban myth...

Bought the lavender and fresh linen varieties today. In the packet the lavender smells overpowering, washed a load of towels with it and there was no smell at all. The Fresh Linen smells like Blue Bold, still to try it on laundry but am not hopeful for a fresh smell. As for cleaning ability I will try them on some dirty stuff tomorrow.
Marthalover, I did like that on the first rinse my wash did not show any suds, will update you all on how it performs. I love the idea of these sheets, mind you I loved the idea of Method detergent and that was less than satisfactory!

What is Method?
Laundry sheets disappeared from the German market in the end of the 1980ies, when P&G's "Top Job" was discontinued... I loved to use them, it was a time when liquid stain boosters weren't seen yet like nowadays the "Ariel" range of stain removal products.

An ultra-concentrated liquid detergent - that works well on light to medium soil. I bought it a year ago on vacation:

Well, I've done a few loads with the Dizolve sheets, they are ok but was disappointed they don't leave any smell on the laundry. Cleaning wise I would say they are great for lightly soiled laundry but I am just going to stick with Halo liquid, that's great on tough stains and is anti bacterial.

I originally bought Halo for Hubby's cycling gear and water proofs. He cycles 10 miles a day,the cycling gear gets pretty grotty and it can't be washed at high temps, it's also great for trainers and canvas shoes. I liked Halo so much I use it pretty much on everything as it really is a great detergent, plus it's pretty good value at £3.99 for 25 washes. Of course I use powder on whites. Cycling gear and waterproofs get washed at 30deg but all other laundry gets washed at 40deg, 60deg or 95deg depending on what the load is.

I think part of the reason Halo is so good is it has 15-30% phosphates.

Yes they are for coloureds Chris, they don't contain any bleaching agents.

Oh,
That's a pity. Halo are still trying to get a foot hold in the UK market, only two supermarkets stock it in Edinburgh and they only sell the Sports Wash. I ordered Halo Liquid, Halo Heavenly Soft and the fabric softener. To be honest, apart from a slight difference in smell, I didn't think the ordinary liquid or the Heavenly Soft differed much from Halo Sports. They all rinse out very well and I have actually stopped using softener ( apart from woollies )as I use the dryer all the time now.
I must say, one thing I did like about the Dizolve sheets is they rinsed out very well in our soft water.
