Ecover Non Biological Washing Powder

I have to admit, I was nervous about switching to an eco-friendly washing powder. I automatically assumed that Ecover would be less effective at tackling dirt and grime than other brands, and the fact that I'm a keen gardener, and thus frequently covered in mud, didn't do much to reassure me! One wash convinced me that I was silly to worry. You can buy Ecover washing products as a powder or as convenient, easy-to-use tablets. In both cases, you pop them into the machine just like normal powder, and let them do their stuff. My washing emerged squeaky-clean, and smelling fresher than many non eco-friendly brands had left it. So what makes these ...  Read the complete review

I sometimes like to use Ecover to wash especially my jacket(s), trainers and jeans. The clothes are much cleaner looking, feeling and smell cleaner too. Ecover is unique because it uses only material derived from plants and it is better for the environment too. This helps give me a better conscience both at home and when shopping. It is also easier on fabrics and I really like using it. As with all things that are meant to be better for the environment though they do come at a higher price to your pocket as this washing powder is quite expensive but I suppose it is more laborious to process it naturally than the ordinary ...  Read the complete review

I’ve been a big fan of Ecover, their products, and their philosophy for over 5 years now, and feel the greatness of being good to the environment every time I overlook the big brands like Fairy and Domestos to favour these wonderfully ecological products. However, switching my washing powder took me a lot longer and a lot more heartache, though now that I have, it’s hard for me to see why! Being slightly sensitive in skin as well as nature, I’ve always used the same brand of washing powder and fabric softener. Anything else always seemed to bring me out in a rash and so as soon as I was shocking my own laundry products for my own house (instead of relying on ...  Read the complete review

I am a massive fan of the Ecover range and so was very excited to switch to the washing powder also. I normally set my washing machine to a 30 degree wash on the eco setting and have found that Ecover really does work to clean my clothes just as well as all the other brands do. But I must outline a small problem that I have noticed with it. I notice that on this particular setting, the powder doesn't disolve too well. I still find speckles of it on my clothes and in the washing machine. It wasn't enough to put me off using it when doing a washing load but after a while I was starting to get fed up of having to shake the flecks off all my washing and so I switched to the ...  Read the complete review

I love ecover products. However the washing powder is not my favorite I have to say. Don't get me wrong, it cleans well, but I find that if you don't wash your clothes at a high enough temprature you are often left with patches of white powder on your clothes when you take them out the machine. So you end up using a higher temprature to prevent this, which isn't very good for the environment. Plus many of my friends have noticed the same thing. It's the same when you are handwashing with this stuff, I just don't think that it desolves well enough in water. That's why I use the Ecover laundry liquid. It not only works as well as the powder, ...  Read the complete review
