Try it you might just like it

Advantages: Great cleaning power, glassware really sparkles
Disadvantages: It can struggle with very greasy plates

...out from the crowd. Ecover Washing Up Liquid does just that in my view so I thought I would put 'fingers to the keyboard' to tell everyone what makes this washing up liquid different from the rest. Why try the product? To be honest I can't really remember what it was that prompted me to buy my first ever bottle of this washing up liquid. I had been a Fairy user for years and was quite happy with it, my mother always used it and what was good ...
...to the light and fresh Ecover product. The Ecover washing up liquids are lightly fragranced with things like Camomile and Marigold, and Lemon and Aloe Vera and they tend to make other products smell artificial. I was hooked, from that day on I have stuck with Ecover. I absolutely love it. The cleaning power on glassware is amazing, time after time it comes up sparkling, I can't imagine going back to any other washing up liquid. About the company ...

Review of Ecover Washing Up Liquid

Not for me

Advantages: very green, no residue, reasonable price
Disadvantages: can't handle tough stains, clouds up glass after a few cycles

I often find Ecover products to be a bit hit and miss. For example, their fabric conditioner is lovely and works brilliantly but their washing powder just isn't up to the job. Same with these dishwasher tablets. Having finally got a dishwasher and being impressed in the past with the Ecover washing up liquid I thought I'd give the dishwasher tablets a go. For the plates cups etc. that were only slightly soiled the tablets did a good enough job, ...
...deal with by now. Wondering if it was just my dishwasher I swapped to Finish tablets with, I have to say, excellent results. I always try to use ecologically sound products, but only if they deliver the goods and I don't really feel that this particular Ecover product did. ...

Review of Ecover Dishwasher Tablets

Ecover might look bland but it's an impressive "green" cleaner

Advantages: Cleans effectively and is kind to the environment
Disadvantages: Probably not antibacterial, doesn't disinfect

The Belgium based company Ecover has existed since the late 1970s and has developed a range of cleaning products (these include body cleansers such hand wash, laundry products and household cleaners such as squirty kitchen sprays and this multi-surface cleaner for what the bottle describes as "hard washable surfaces"), all with the intention that they can be used without harming the environment. To this end, four of the six highlighted features listed ...
...the bottle in daylight. The Ecover logo (simple block capitals with a leaf-shaped gap in the letter R) is prominently displayed, coloured bright blue and leaf green, below an image of a plant with two leaves and curly tendrils. To the left of the plant is a basic house shape, in yellow. Smaller lettering under the brand name simply states "Lemon". Nothing on the bottle suggests disinfectant properties, so anyone looking for that feature might want ...

...was absolutely content with my Fairy Almond washing-up liquid but I ran out of it and so did Tesco.

The Silk & Orchid one is of lilac colour and it is so silky. ...

Review of Fairy Clean & Care with Silk & Orchid

The Secret to my clean blue Loo!

Advantages: Cleans very well, great price, removes limescale
Disadvantages: none

...have found to work is Tesco Toilet Lime Scale Remover. It comes in a plastic blue bottle and has a slightly pointed nozzle on top which allows easy use to squirt this around the rim of the toilet. There is a lighter blue label on the front with the product name and the back of the bottle has a label which contains all the product details, directions for use and warnings. ~~USE~~ To open this bottle you may have some difficulty as it has a child ...
...the sides of the cap before twisting. I do find it is simple to open but I know quite a few people who have problems opening these types of lids. There is a noticeable smell when the lid is removed and this reminds me of bleach, the smell is not overpowering but it does leave a smell in the small toilet area when I have applied this to the toilet. It is recommended that this is applied directly to the toilet and left for 30 minutes. After this time ...
