I bought these pods I believe because they were on sale some time ago. I use them occasionally just for loads of laundry that contains clothing I wear to work (I work in a hospital with a no-scents policy). I generally find they clean well and I like that the amount of detergent is proportioned as they are quick to use. However I have found that lately the pods have become more tacky to the touch when I pull them out of the bag (possibly due to the heat from the dryer they are sitting on top of as I follow the directions to only touch them with dry hands). Also occasionally I will find that the pod hasn't completely dissolved and has left sticky residue on some of my clothing requiring me to put my load through a second rinse cycle (which is a waste of water but residue to tough to get off otherwise).
