You've received your first pack of Lavoa laundry strips. You open the packaging, smell the fresh scent, and pick up a feather-light strip. But then you stand in front of the washing machine and hesitate: "Where do I put this thing?" Should it go in the drawer where powder usually goes, or should it go on top of the towels?

The golden rule: Directly with the laundry Although washing machines differ, there is one method that always works: place the strip directly in the drum, on top of or under your laundry. Why? Because the strip immediately comes into contact with the water as soon as the machine starts to spin. The strip dissolves within seconds, and the cleaning power spreads evenly over your clothes immediately.

Can it also go in the detergent drawer? Yes, it certainly can! If you have a machine where the water rinses forcefully through the drawer, you can place the strip (possibly torn into a few pieces) in the main detergent compartment.

Our tip: For shorter wash programs or washing at very low temperatures, we recommend simply placing the strip in the drum. This way, you are 100% sure that it can do its job immediately.

Hand washing Going away for a weekend or have a delicate item of clothing that can't go in the machine? Laundry strips are ideal for hand washing.

  1. Fill a bucket or basin with (lukewarm) water.

  2. Add half or a whole strip.

  3. Stir briefly with your hand until the strip has dissolved.

  4. Wash your clothes as usual.

No more hassle with bottles of liquid delicate detergent taking up half your suitcase!

For every type of machine Whether you have a hyper-modern front loader, a classic top loader, or an energy-efficient heat pump dryer combination: Lavoa laundry strips work everywhere. Because the strips don't foam like old-fashioned detergent, they are also safer for the sensors of modern machines.

Conclusion The beauty of laundry strips is that you can't go wrong. In the drum, in the drawer, or in a bucket of suds; the strip does its job wherever there's water. Simple, clean, and without mess.
