Powder laundry detergent that helps lift away stains, clean white and colored fabrics even in cold water using biodegradable, plant-based ingredients and is dermatologist tested and hypoallergenic.
I've tried a lot of different "green" laundry detergents, and the Ecover powder is one of my favorites. It is great at getting stains out, doesn't leave behind any residue and doesn't have a scent. The only thing to keep in mind is that this detergent does contain sodium percarbonate (an oxygen bleach), so I would not recommend it for dark colors.
I switched to this detergent after a liquid detergent produced too many suds in my HE machine. It cleans efficiently, and I often use less than the recommended amount. Clothes are left with a "clean" smell, with no fragrance. Perhaps negative reviewers used too much detergent? Also, from what I understand, how hard or soft your water is will affect detergent performance. I will continue to use this detergent -- no reason to change.
I've been using this product since my children were babies. I also have allergies to other, regular laundry detergents so I wanted a fragrance free, as close to natural laundry soap as I could get. After trying several natural laundry soaps and soaps marketed towards baby care, Ecover is the one I've stuck with. It has worked well for our sensitive skin, it is fragrance free, cleans well and has low suds. It has not left any kind of residue on our clothes or in our machines and I have used it daily for close to 10 years now.
In addition to leaving residue crystal-like particles on my cotton clothing(after warm 5 rinses), it has left a THICK scum inside of my fairly new top loading washing machine that was clean before using this product. I used this product only for three small loads! Good grief! I hope I can get the thick film washed OUT of my machine. Thanks Ecover, for messing up my washing machine. Biokleen powder detergent did this to my previous machine. NOTHING removed that residue--finally I just got rid of the machine.
I wanted to like this laundry detergent as I have been searching for a good natural detergent for years now. This detergent leaves flecks of residue detergent behind on my cotton knit clothing. I had added this detergent to a cup of hot water, stirred it and allowed it to dissolve for 2 HOURS and added it to hot water to clean my tee shirts. After FIVE RINSES, there were flecks of detergent left on my clothes. I am very disappointed as I have had the same issues with the 7th Generation powder detergent, Vaska powder, Wilkens. I have not found even ONE natural detergent that is good (for the matter I have not found a traditional chemical detergent that is good either). Don't buy this product, unless you like wearing laundry detergent on your clothes. As for buying liquids, I am avoiding them due to plastic toxicity. If I can just find one that cleans, rinses completely and does not irritate--is that so much to ask for.........?
