Ecover Washing Liquid Washing Liquid

...I could get. Trying Ecover was on the basis of "I can say I've tried them all". After all, a laundry liquid which took ecological considerations into account wasn't going to be as effective as one that didn't have to, now was it? Wrong – I think it's the best of them all, by a long way. Ecover began producing environmentally-friendly soaps in a farmhouse in northern Belgium in 1979. By the late 1980s it became obvious that they needed larger premises ...
...surroundings. Importantly for me Ecover are against animal testing. Their non-biological liquid won't stand out on the supermarket shelf, with its colourless, opaque bottle. I like it though because it has an inset handle, which makes lifting, carrying and pouring easier for me. The bottle and the cap are 100% recyclable, but I wish I had some way of refilling it. The bottle says that it is refillable, but I can't find anyone locally who supplies ...

Review of Ecover Washing Liquid Washing Liquid

...for whites and stubborn stains, Ecover also sell a powder bleach. I love the unusual fragrance which makes your clothes smell like pine. It isn't long-lasting - just as long as it takes the clothes to dry. But I say if you want to smell of something other than yourself, well, wear a perfume! Clothes come out of the machine soft and clean. There is no irritation on wearing, and I am quite sensitive to harsh products which would normally give me ...
...that they are an entirely eco-friendly company. Not only is each product environmentally sound, but the whole company's policy is to recycle and use renewable energy sources across all factories, warehouses etc. This is different to other companies that sell environmentally-friendly products as well as ranges that are not. I can't give an exact price for this product, as my darling boyf always buys it. He reckons it's about £2 - £2.50 per bottle, ...

Review of Ecover Washing Liquid Washing Liquid

...to the subject at hand, Ecover washing liquid. At first, we thought that it was fantastic. Not quite as good as the non-green products we had been using previously, but, as my wife remarked, "we do need to make a compromise for the sake of the environment." But then we noticed that the washing machine was starting to gum up with a rather nasty solid material which was like a chalky powdery residue, which was a weird colour. And the clothes were ...
...problem was caused by the Ecover washing liquid. Our suspicion was confirmed when we asked a friend if they had noticed a similar problem. They had switched to Ecover washing liquid just before we had. They hadn't noticed a similar problem, but admitted that they had not looked for it, either. When they did look they also noticed that there was a severe clogging problem with the same gungy deposit. Our friends believed that their washing machine ...

Review of Ecover Washing Liquid Washing Liquid

Ecover products are excellent. I began using them after the birth of my son as we are now doing a lot more laundry ! The big appeal of this product for me is that I can get refills from my nappy service. I was beginning to get annoyed by all the excess packaging that was ending up in my bin (our local recycling centre does not take plastic) and decided to try Ecover. The liquid comes in a 1.5 L bottle. You put 2 and 1/3 of a cap in a full load, ...
...very big). It is suitable for all usual types of machine-washable fabrics and over a wide temperature range. I have achieved excellent cleaning results from 40 - 95 degrees celsius, and with hand-washing. The liquid has a pleasant herbal odour and leaves clothes fresh-smelling with no soapy residue. It does not irritate the skin even if you spill the neat liquid on yourself. I note on the back of the bottle that it is not harmful to aquatic animals, ...

Review of Ecover Washing Liquid Washing Liquid

Ecover washing liquid is great for hand or machine* washing delicates and woolies. It has a lovely natural smell with no harsh chemicals and is completely biodegradable. Most councils also recycle this sort of plastic container - but better still look for health food shops that refill bottles, our local one does. *With reference to an earlier reviewer who said it gunged up the washing machine, a repair man I had long ago said don't use washing liquids ...
...Ecover washing liquid is really nice to use, kind to you hands, to the rivers, the fishes, the environment, and not too bag for your purse. I find the price compares well will other specialist liquids for delicates. It doesn't foam too much so is easy to rinse out afterwards. Finish off with Ecover fabric conditioner to feel really virtuous! ...

Review of Ecover Washing Liquid Washing Liquid

When the ecover range of products appeared on the market in the UK I was thrilled. The impacts of our efforts to remain clean and fresh cost the planet, so here was a solution to my cleaning and washing angst. However, the first question is - does it work? In a word, yes. It's so disappointing when an eco-friendly product is launched, but then doesn't work as well as the standard product and is shunned by the environmentally and non-environmentally ...
...of ecover at cleaning my clothes - at all temperatures! Clear instructions on the bottle indicate how much product is needed for different levels of dirtiness and different types of water. The only downside of the product - the higher price compared with some other products - is a minor issue. The price differential is low enough for me to happily choose ecover over and over again. And lest I forget, additional benefits come with the packaging. ...
