Spot is taking the plastic out of laundry. Detergent sheets that actually clean — without the jug, the measuring, or the price that makes “eco” feel optional. Spot is a brand of Solve For Why Org.

## The problem
For decades, “doing laundry” has meant buying a heavy plastic jug of mostly water, measuring a capful, wiping up drips, then tossing the bottle — a package that can outlast the clothes it washed.

Those jugs add up by the hundreds of millions in the US every year. We didn’t think a clean load needed to cost the planet that much shelf space, shipping fuel, or landfill time.

## The format
We stripped detergent back to what actually cleans and pressed it into a thin, pre-measured sheet. Drop one in the drum with your clothes. It dissolves in under 60 seconds — cold, warm or hot — and cleans like a capful of liquid.

No jug. No measuring. No sticky cap. Half a sheet for a small load, two for a heavy one. Flat enough for a drawer, a carry-on, or an RV cupboard.

## What we stand for
1. **No “eco” markup.** Doing right by the planet shouldn’t cost extra. Spot is priced so anyone can afford to make the switch — not just people who already shop the green aisle.

2. **Function first.** Green that actually cleans. Spot is made to work like the detergents you already trust. The lighter footprint comes with the format, not instead of a clean load.

3. **A lighter footprint.** No plastic bottle. Featherlight sheets that ship without hauling water across the country. Every pack is one less jug that never has to be made, shipped or thrown away.

4. **Clean, named ingredients.** Plant-based and made in Sweden. Free of parabens, phosphates, 1,4-dioxane and added dyes. Hypoallergenic, dermatologist tested, grey-water and septic safe.

## Where it’s made
Everything is made in Sweden — the sheets and the packaging — with a plant-based formula that’s hypoallergenic and dermatologist tested. Nine ingredients on the label — free of parabens, phosphates, 1,4-dioxane and added dyes.
