Ecover Fabric Softener

Ecover Fabric Softener Softening my Heart with Every Wash So I’m a bit of a greenie. An Eco warrior. A friend to the planet. A green goddess even. Somewhere in the great evolutionary process, I lost sight of the need to persuade the world that green is best and that we should all be doing more to save the planet from burning up in a frazzled ball of too hot summers and freezing winters and melting ice caps and rising CO2 levels, and became content simply with leading my life as environmentally sound as I possibly could. People will choose their own paths, and make their own choices on how to wash their clothes, how many plane trips to take, whether ...  Read the complete review

Ecover claim they try to make effective cleaning products that have the "absolute minimal impact on the environment". While I can't account for the environmental impact, I can comment on the cleaning ability of their products. I've been using the ecover fabric softener for a while now. I chose it for the ecover ethos and also for my sensitive skin-most commercial cleaning products are to harsh for me. Since my first use, I haven't considered using any other fabric softener. The scent is slightly floral and delicate, and it lasts long after the wash. I love long lasting softeners, there's nothing as nice as getting an clean scented ...  Read the complete review

Having tried a few of the Ecover household products, and having been impressed by their green crudentials and performance, I thought I'd give the fabric softener a try. In our house I am always on the look out for washing and skin care products that wont cause my husband's eczema to flare up or worsen. He has reacted badly to some fabric softeners in the past, but I thought as this product only contains natural fragrances it might be a winner. I can have allergic reactions to fragrances and have found some fabric softeners to have an overpowering fragrance that sets me off sneezing, so less artificial fragrance would be a bonus for me too. A 1 litre ...  Read the complete review

After reading that vinegar would do the same job on my laundry as fabric softener I decided to try a comparison between a cheap brand of fabric softener, an expensive brand, an ecological brand and vinegar. Well the results are in and Ecover wins hands down. Bottom of the list came the watery bottle of Tesco value fabric softener (less than 50p), which to be fair was better than no fabric softener but not as good as the vinegar. The enormous plastic bottle made no mention of being recyclable. Next was Comfort, this was (in my opinion) too expensive and the smell was horrible - like a really cheap and overpowering synthetic perfume; it also ...  Read the complete review

After reading that the additives and fragrances in fabric softener can confuse wildlife that depend on their sense of smell, such as butterflies I decide to give the eco alternatives a shot! Being one of the leading eco brands on the market I gave Ecover fabric softener a try. This stuff does it's job! As a fabric softener I notice no difference between this and the leading brands! Plus it lasts just as long too, so you don't need to use more than normal. Although it smells lovely in the bottle, the only downfall about this product is that the smell doesn't stick around on your clothes that much once they are dry. For some people this isn't ...  Read the complete review
