The Review
I was sent the Ecover Laundry Wash to review.

I loved the fresh smell of this detergent it reminds me of my herb garden. Light fresh and clean. Next I was impressed with the small amount of detergent I needed to get my clothes clean. I used one small capful (and I mean small not like those huge caps you get on traditional detergents) for my regular loads and 2 for my husband's work clothes.

They all came out clean and fresh smelling even the work clothes that are covered in smelly steel oil! I am impressed, I usually have to add baking soda to my wash to get this smell out.

I give this detergent 2 thumbs up! One for superb cleaning and one for being earth friendly.

Things you will love about the laundry detergent:

• fresh fragrances from plant based ingredients
  
• keeps colors bright
  
• gentle on your skin
  
• compatible with High Efficiency machines (HE)
  

Environmental benefits of the detergent:

• plant based ingredients
  
• quick and complete biodegradability
  
• no optical brighteners
  
• minimum impact on aquatic life
  
• no animal testing
  
• safe for septic tanks
  

Check out their complete line of products! Purchase Ecover products online or at select retail locations. Going green has never been so easy!

16 I learned that even artificial fragrances are poorly degradable and actually build up in our food chain. For example, they are found in the fat tissue of fish; when we eat the fish we also ingest those chemical residues.

78 They use natural plant-based ingredients for their highly effective cleaning products. Unlike petrochemicals, plant based ingredients biodegrade back into the environment after use, leaving minimal traces. These ingredients are constantly replenished by nature itself, so there’s no depletion of resources. This is not the way with their chemical counterparts.
