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 ...

Advantages: Effective cleaner, subtle lemon smell Disadvantages: Bit dearer than other cleaners
I decided to give Ecover multi surface cleaner a go after reading the journalist Leo Hickman's Guide To Ethical Living column in the Guardian. There was a terrifying section in it about 'harmless' household cleaners and the strong chemicals we are inadvertently using in our home. After we have used them they enter the drains then the sea and are polluting aquatic life. The traces and fumes they leave behind in our homes are probably not very good ... ...with asthma and eczema. Ecover was one of the cleaning products successfully tried among others by mr Hickman and his family so I decided to give it a go - I've been using several of the Ecover products ever since.
*Foreword About the Company*
I wouldn't normally talk about a company background in a review but in the case of Ecover I think the proven environmental credentials are a relevant factor in choosing the product. Ecover has been going ...

Advantages: Effective, with no unpleasant chemicals or overpowering perfume Disadvantages: A little more pricey than the average
Ecover Multi-Surface cleaner has been hailed as an ecologically sound alternative to harsh chemical-based multi-surface cleaners. It has all the cleaning power of a standard cleaner but without all the strong chemicals that can irritate so many people.
The ingredients in the product consist of; over 30%: water, under 5%: plant and sugar based surfactants, ethanol (fermented from sugar), vegetable based soap, natural gum, natural essential oils, ... ...It works well as a kitchen and bathroom cleaner, general surface cleaner and window cleaner.
A similar product from Ecover called "Squirt Eco" is also available and that is supposedly for more applications including glass, chrome etc, but I've found the multi-surface cleaner is just as effective for these applications. ...

Advantages: suitable for vegans, eco friendly, really cleans Disadvantages: where you can buy it?
Ecover is a company who produce cleaning products in an "ecological, economic and socially responsible way in a unique ecological factory."
In other words they respect people and the environment. They use plant based ingredients, their production has minimal impact on the environment, they do not test their products on animals and all packaging is 100% recyclable. I generally don't bother looking into a company before I buy a product but I heard ... ...refillable and 100% recyclable.
All Ecover products are suitable for vegans but I think Ecover has such a good but obvious mission it would be great if everyone could use products like this and from companies like Ecover. A one litre bottle costs around £2 so its not expensive. I would highly recommend this product the only problem where to buy Ecover items from. Ecover do have a web site www.Ecover.com where you can read more on them. I bought ...

Advantages: Very good for the environment Disadvantages: None
I have mentioned the Ecover company in my review of the Ecover washing up liquid. So, no mention of the Ecover company in this review. No, siree! This time it is straight into the review.
Ecover multipurpose cleaner. It's great, because, as the saying goes, it does exactly what it says on the box. Or in this case, it does exactly what it says on the recyclable plastic spray container.
Firstly, as it is a pump action spray, there are not of those ... ...review…
Like every other Ecover product it does the job that it is designed for with admirable efficiency and relative ease. Time was, 20 years ago, that a so-called "green" product was expensive and just couldn't cut the mustard, as the saying goes. Forget about cutting the mustard! They couldn't cut through the dirt.
But that's not the case with this product! It bills itself as a multi-purpose cleaner, and that is precisely what it does. The ...

Quick review of Ecover Multi-Surface Cleaner
Used once and found to be so mild as to be completely ineffective and useless. A complete waste of money and I will not be buying again. In fact I will throw the rest down the sink instead of having it cluttering up my undersink cupboard. If only I could find supplies of good old Procter & Gamble Flash cleaning powder which was economical, perfectly effective and I only needed one product to do everything around the house. ...
