Who are we?
Hi, I’m Colette, CEO of HeySunday. I’m the daughter of a self-proclaimed clean freak. We had chore charts and cleaning schedules for as long as I can remember, and my mother proudly tells stories about how I was cleaning the dinner table at two years old.
Now that I have kids, there are two chores that seem never-ending: laundry and dishes. I don’t know that anyone likes doing these chores (ok, maybe my mom), but I started thinking so much about them once I needed to do multiple loads of laundry and run a full dishwasher every single night.
The thing that bothered me the most out of all of it was that I was the one doing these chores by myself. No one wanted to touch gross liquid detergent that sticks to the side of the plastic jug and drips onto your washing machine. It’s not fun to try to pour dishwasher detergent into the compartment and hope that it’s closed all the way when you go to shut the door.
I wanted something easier - and something more natural that I felt safe having in my home around my little kids. And then I found sheets.
What are detergent sheets?
I started researching and found out that all liquid detergent can be dehydrated and turned into sheets. As soon as I felt the softness of the laundry detergent sheets, I was hooked. I knew this was a product that was going to take off - it makes laundry so much easier AND there’s no mess!
The sheets are made in a processing facility that specializes in liquid soap. We take the same ingredients that you would use to make soap at home - salt, starch, vegetable-based cleaning agents, tea oil. We combine them with as few chemicals as possible to make sure your clothes stay clean (and the sheets stay together). They go into a big cylinder (imagine a giant candle) that heats them up and dries the ingredients all together into what looks like a sheet of paper and feels like smooth fabric.
What’s next for HeySunday?
We launched in 2023 hoping to be a small family business. What we found is that there are a lot of people just like me who think liquid detergent needs to be replaced with a better product!
Now, we have over 60 people who work on HeySunday! We are so tremendously proud of the growth we have had in such a short time, and we’re here to make sure that we continue to provide you with the best products possible.
Next up, we’re planning to release new product lines for laundry and dishwashing (and maybe more?). We’re listening to your feedback and moving more of our facilities to the US to keep our quality as high as we can without increasing costs for our customers. And we’re going to keep finding ways to make your cleaning, and your life, as easy as possible!
