It smells more like a natural, springtime breeze than a perfumey department-store scent like that of the Laundress. I bought both the unscented and the scented to see which I liked better, and so far, I prefer the scented. And by the end of the call, I bought them. “I tear it off and it works just like regular detergent but with so much less waste,” she said.

She mentioned statistics she read about how much waste goes into doing laundry, both water and plastic, and how this tiny box of laundry sheets fixes the problem.

She talked about how she had almost ripped grocery bags that became weighted down by bottles of conventional liquid detergent, and explained how much of a hassle it is to drag that same bottle back out to the laundromat (and yes, Piper Perabo does still go to the laundromat). But as I listened to her, I started to believe her. When I asked her about Earth Breeze sheets, Piper blurted out, “Honestly, I think you should write about these.” At first, I thought, Okay, Piper, calm down.

Within two minutes, Piper Perabo managed to talk me into trying her favorite laundry-detergent sheets. I’ve been enthralled by people’s items before - like Tom Colicchio’s favorite meat thermometer, Barbie Ferreira’s sweaters for her sphynx cat, Kaley Cuoco’s extremely giftable blanket, and Brandy’s voice-saving tea crystals - but it takes an especially persuasive celebrity to convince me to actually buy something, because as a Strategist writer, I’ve honestly seen it all. Each one tries to convince me (then subsequently you) why they can’t live without each item. I interview a lot of celebrities about their favorite stuff.
