Users are raving about this $0.45 laundry pod that is beating the big brands and is eco-friendly too

Daily Mail​10-05-2025
Tackling endless laundry cycles can be a pain, especially if your detergent just does not do the job as well as you'd like. All you're asking for is clean, bright, fresh-smelling clothes, right? For some reason, that's a pretty tall order.
If you're in the market for a reliable and eco-friendly alternative to your usual, Dropps Odor & Stain Laundry Detergent Pods are well worth all of the attention they receive (you may have heard of the brand in eco-friendly circles). At just .45 cents a load, they're affordable, effective, and backed by glowing reviews.
Dropps Odor & Stain Laundry Detergent Pods
These odor- and dirt-busting drops pack a powerful clean into a tiny and affordable package.
Users love how effectively they eliminate even the toughest odors and stains, leaving laundry looking, smelling, and feeling brighter and fresher.
With plant-based ingredients, recyclable packaging, and no harsh additives, they're good for the planet, too!

Unlike traditional detergents that mask smells on your laundry with heavy fragrances, Dropps actually targets the odors at the source. The brand uses advanced anti-odor technology to go beyond the surface and dig deep.
It works overtime, basically, to neutralize stubborn smells and leave your fabrics cleaner. Sweaty gym clothes and soggy towels are no match for this brand's high-powered technology.
Stains can be difficult to handle under ordinary circumstances, too. How many times have you washed the same piece over and over without result?
Dropps uses a blend of five powerful enzymes to break down everything from grass to grease to wine, without relying on harsh chemicals like chlorine bleach.
The end result is whites that look brighter and whiter, colors that appear crisper and more vibrant, and laundry that is well maintained for life. You really do not have to spend hours pre-treating all of your shirts!
Many users say they notice a difference after just a single wash. One reviewer wrote, 'I'm so impressed with the cleanest and best smelling laundry I've ever had. I'm a user for life!'
'I absolutely love this company, their morals, and their environmental efforts,' declared another. 'The scent is light and natural, not perfumey at all, but my clothes still smell great after washing. Love everything I have purchased from them!'
With a scent that isn't overpowering (it's subtle and more nature-inspired), it lingers just enough to give your laundry a pleasant, refreshing lift.
The pods are formulated to work in both high-efficiency and standard machines in any temperature, too. And they're eco-friendly as well, with each pod constructed of a 58 percent USDA-certified biobased formula and packaged in recycled cardboard.
It's also cruelty-free, dye-free, and made without harsh additives, so you can feel incredibly good knowing that you're doing your part for the planet. Forget about overpriced products that don't deliver on their promises — Dropps simply works, and it's an incredible value.

A Grand Canyon mascot is recovered from the rubble. Can Brighty the Burro be restored?

Missing an ear and his front legs detached, Brighty the Burro certainly has seen better days. The 600-pound (273-kilogram) bronze statue used to greet visitors at the Grand Canyon Lodge on the national park's North Rim. The nearly century-old building was reduce to rubble this summer when a wildfire swept through the area. Brighty was found charred, his head and body mostly intact. As firefighters continued their work Friday to corral the stubborn flames, Brighty hit the road — strapped into the back of a pickup truck for a roughly five-hour journey that would take him from his home on the North Rim to the South Rim. The plan calls for temporarily housing him in the Grand Canyon National Park 's museum collection so he can be assessed. It will be up to park officials and conservation experts to determine if the burro can be carefully restored or if a new statue will have to be created. There's no timeline for the effort, but fans on social media already are weighing in with support for returning the burro to his former glory. They talk about taking family pictures with the sculpture in the background and reading the children's book that's loosely based on the original burro's adventures traversing the canyon. 'It's a very special symbolic piece of history for a lot of people,' park spokesperson Joëlle Baird told The Associated Press. An enduring symbol of life along the rugged canyon, the hefty statue represents a free-spirited burro who lived more than a century ago. Brighty was known to migrate up and down the canyon as the seasons changed. He'd help haul water to a summer camp on the North Rim in exchange for pancakes and would give children rides. One of the first chores for the team will be testing for any toxic materials on the sculpture, Baird said. Then, depending on the damage assessment, the park could end up working with a foundry to make the burro whole again. Brighty is a small but important part of what will be a yearslong effort for the National Park Service as it charts a path for restoration and reconstruction on the North Rim. More immediately, Baird said a special team that focuses on stabilizing the soil, controlling erosion and reseeding will begin assessing the burned areas starting next week. The Dragon Bravo Fire was sparked by lightning in early July. It burned for about a week before exploding into a fast moving conflagration that forced evacuations and consumed the Grand Canyon Lodge and dozens of cabins. The National Park Service has defended its handling of the fire, saying a sudden and extreme shift in the wind far exceeded forecasts. Persistent hot, dry and windy weather has hampered crews over the past several weeks, making it more difficult to fight the flames on the North Rim and elsewhere around the West — from Idaho and Montana to California, Colorado, Utah and New Mexico. According to the National Interagency Fire Center, nearly four dozen large fires are burning in the U.S., with more than 17,700 firefighters and support personnel assigned to them.

US Naval Academy gets first Marine superintendent

Lt. Gen. Michael Borgschulte became the first Marine Corps officer to be superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy in its 180-year history on Friday. Borgschulte was deputy commandant for Manpower and Reserve Affairs in Quantico, Virginia, before being nominated to be the 66th superintendent of the military academy in Annapolis. Borgschulte, who graduated from the academy in 1991, said he would safeguard its proud traditions while preparing future generations of officers for the challenges of an increasingly complex world. 'The academy exists not to pursue academic rankings or institutional accolades — yes, we have those — but to fulfill a sacred mission, and that's to develop the next generation of Navy and Marine Corps officers who will protect and defend the freedoms we as Americans so often take for granted,' Borgschulte said during a ceremony marking the change in command. John Phelan, the secretary of the Navy, called Borgshulte 'a decorated naval aviator and a veteran of three combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan who's led sailors and marines at all levels.' 'He is someone who his fellow marines describe as a military hybrid of modern tactics and ancient attitudes,' Phelan continued, adding that he oversaw the highest recruitment and retention in Marine Corps history and will further cultivate 'a culture of winning and warfighting here at the academy.' 'Get ready, midshipmen. It's time to buckle your chinstraps,' Phelan said. This year the academy commissioned 776 Navy ensigns and 258 second lieutenants in the Marine Corps. Borgschulte replaces Vice Adm. Yvette Davids, who in January 2024 became the first woman to be superintendent. Davids is moving to the Pentagon to be deputy chief of naval operations for Operations, Plans, Strategy and Warfighting Development. Phelan said Davids fulfilled her role with distinction and she is the best person for the Pentagon post. 'Vice Adm. Davids' experience, operational record and strategic mind made her the natural fit for the job and will serve her and the Navy well in this future role,' Phelan said.

‘Grandma won't be able to pay for it anymore': Library book from 1943 returned

A library book has been returned nearly 82 years after it was borrowed from a library in Texas. The book – Your Child, His Family, And Friends by marriage and family counsellor Frances Bruce Strain – came with a letter noting that 'Grandma won't be able to pay for it anymore'. Advertisement It was checked out in July 1943 and returned this June by a person in Oregon, the San Antonio Public Library said. 'After the recent death of my father, I inherited a few boxes of books he left behind,' the person wrote in a letter that was shared by the library on Instagram and signed with the initials P.A.A.G. The book was a guide for parents on helping their children navigate personal relationships. It was checked out when the person's father was 11 years old. Advertisement 'The book must have been borrowed by my Grandmother, Maria del Socorro Aldrete Flores (Cortez),' the person wrote. 'In that year, she transferred to Mexico City to work at the US Embassy. She must have taken the book with her, and some 82 years later, it ended up in my possession.' The book had received write-ups in various newspapers at the time. The Cincinnati Enquirer described it in June 1943 as a 'complete guidebook to the personal relationships of the child with his family and the outside world'. Advertisement The New York Times noted a month later that Strain was a psychologist and mother of two who was 'best known for her wise, sensitive, but unsentimental presentation of sex education'. The person who returned the book wrote in the letter: 'I hope there is no late fee for it because Grandma won't be able to pay for it anymore.' The library said in a news release that it eliminated overdue fines in 2021. The inside cover of the book was stamped with the warning that the fine for overdue books was three cents a day. Advertisement Not accounting for inflation, the penalty would amount to nearly 900 dollars (£663). Three cents in July 1943 amounts to 56 cents (41p) in today's money, according to the US Bureau of Labour Statistics' Inflation Calculator. That would add up to more than 16,000 dollars (£11,800). The library noted that the book is in 'good condition'. Advertisement It will be on display in the city's central library throughout August. It will then be donated to the Friends of San Antonio Public Library and sold to benefit the library. Eight decades may seem like a long time for an overdue library book, but it is nowhere near the record. Guinness World Records says the most overdue library book was returned to Sidney Sussex College at the University of Cambridge in 1956. It was borrowed in 1668, some 288 years earlier. No fine was extracted.
