Skin-friendly and garden-friendly, it contains no “nasty” chemicals and contains no skin-irritating enzymes, optical brighteners, phosphates or other potentially harmful chemicals. The Ecostore website says that this detergent is so gentle, you can pour the waste water straight into your vege garden. The laundry range contains eight products, including Laundry Liquid, Wool Wash, Fabric Softener, Pure Oxygen Whitener, and Stain Remover.
The good bits: We know several families who use this to wash the clothing of their children with eczema, so figured we were on to a winner. It doesn’t really have a scent, so would be suitable for people who are perfume-intolerant. Great on tomato sauce, chocolate, and urine. Strangely, dirt didn’t come out on the first wash, but the second wash it was pristine. Permanent ink faded, and blood came out on the second wash. Performed well in both warm- and cold-water washes.
The tricky bits: Our one big gripe with this washing powder is that it comes in a twist-tied plastic bag inside a cardboard box. So the box and the plastic scoop are recyclable, but the plastic bag and twist tie just end up in the rubbish bin — and then in a landfill. We’d love to see this change.
Bottom line: A reliable and eco-friendly choice we like a lot.
