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

Ecover washing powder is advertised as being enviromentally friendly, but more importantly, for me at least, it's gentle on skin and produces excellent wash results. I buy the powder version in cardboard boxed sizes, although a tablet version is available, and you can buy smaller amounts of powder in (recycled, biodegradable) plastic bags. The powder seems expensive for the amount you get, but you can use less than half the powder amount suggested and still get a completely clean wash, which makes it last a lot longer. It saves your wallet and the environment. Ecover produces good results at thirty and forty degrees, for a standard wash. At higher ...  Read the complete review

I've used various Ecover products, but their non-bio washing powder is what I use most. Ecover as a company pride themselves on producing products that are more sustainable and ethical than most on the high street. Their washing powders are all made with plant based ingredients which are better for your skin and for the environment. Ecover do not test on animals and the ingredients in their products have minimum impact on aquatic life. What you really want to know, I suppose is how well this stuff washes your clothes, and the answer is absolutely perfectly. I've never had a problem, even with really dirty clothes, they always come out looking spotless. Fabrics ...  Read the complete review
