Advantages: enviromentally friendly, keeps white white, kind to skin Disadvantages: mostly found only in larger supermarket chains, though available by mail order
I first came across ecover products in my mother in law's laundry room.We were visiting on holiday and wehad some washing to do. She showed me how to use her wsher and introduced me to Ecover.
I was very impressed. My husbands work clothes and the baby's clothes and nappies came out equally clean and unstained using both their washing powder and bleach (which is safe for colorfast garments). She buys hers in bulk from a Fair Trade type company, ... ...she pressed a box of the bleach in my hand.
Now I was not sure just how good the bleach would be on its own. I pondered swapping over to their washing powder from my homemade washing gel, but come the first stain, I decided to give them a go together. presto! Stain gone. Occasionally i get free samples of Persil in the post, and try them out in between making my own patch of laundry sopa, and the bleach has performed equally well. I now purchase ...

Advantages: It is ecologicaly friendly, effective and kind to skin. Disadvantages: Not always availbale in supermarkets you may need to go to health food shop.
I discoveed this product recently rather by luck than judgement. My sister has ben going on at me for ages about trying 'Ecover' washing powder, so I went and bought a box from the local helath Food shop. When I opened the box at home, I realized that it contained a free packet of their 'Ecover' laundry bleach, so I decided, it's free, I'll give it a whirl. I can only say that I was really surprised with the results.
The bleach can be used either ... ...both (depending on the stain) and found the results to be impressive.
I can't use biological washing powders or stain removers as my daughter has eczema which is irritated by such products, so this is a very useful atlernative.
My daughter (age 6) has white socks for school, which are not easy to keep wite, as many parents will appreciate. However, using the 'Ecover' laundry bleach in the wash has kept them white rather than a dull grey. My uniforms ...

Advantages: Great for removing stains on baby's bibs Disadvantages: none
I found this product in my local supermarket on an end aisle with hand washing powders, not sure why its sold in this section because its used with your normal detergent in your washing machine.
You add :-
1 table spoon for normal whites
2 table spoons for dirty whites
3 table spoons for heavily soiled whites
Add it in your drawer in the washer with you normal detergent, even if you use liqui tabs/capsules or powder cubes in the drum you still ... ...for getting my babies bibs and tshirts clean because it actually removes chocolate and spaghetti which i have not been able to remove wihout the use of this laundry bleach.
It also works well for coloured items because it does not fade the colours. My 4 children have sensitive skin and this product is very kind to their skin and does not cause any problems or irratations, so its very kind.
I paid roughly £1.60 for a small box and it lasted 2 weeks ...
