    Ecover

    Does anyone use Ecover brand household items? I have been using their cleaners and was considering trying the detergent for my clothes, but wasn't sure. If anyone has a good clothes detergent that they'd like to share with me, I'd be thankful. (oh, and I don't mind info. on other cleaning products that are earth friendly)

    I've used the Ecover laundry soap--it's good stuff. I've also used that Bio-Kleen stuff, but I'm mostly partial to Seventh Generation's Citrus scented laundry soap. I also use Ecover dish soap as well--it's fragrance free and gentle on the skin.

    I like the Ecover. I use it all the time and it even has a nice herbal smell. Sometimes for my whites I'll add some baking soda for a booster.

    I use Ecover dish soap and really like it. Haven't tried the laundry detergent, though. I use Seventh Generation Free & Clear (of perfumes and dyes), and I think it's great!

    Can you dig it?

    I have always used Ecover products, but have yet to make a switch for my clothes. I wasn't sure how well the detergents get your clothes clean. I used to use Melaleuca products, but in the end, they didn't get my clothes very clean. My husband is very picky about his laundry, so I went back to using Gaine. To be honest, I like the smell and the cleaning power of Gaine, but I don't think it's that earth friendly.

    If all of you had to make a decision, which product would you pick for your laundry?
    1)Ecover
    2)Seventh Generation
    3)Bio-Kleen

    Thanks for the help.

    FYI: I love the Ecover dishwasher tablets. They work great, and so does the reg. dish soap. I also like the other household products.

    I (we) use the vegan variety of the dish-wash soap.

    If you like a certain smell to your laundry, try adding a few drops of essential oil to the water while it's filling. Lavender for sheets would be nice, maybe your husband would like a more "manly" smell like a juniper/sage type scent. My absolute favorite smell is lialac. Most of the natural detergents are unscented. To help with the cleaning power use baking powder or Borax as a booster ( safe for the enviroment).

    Punkmommy...you are too funny. I know it was a typo, but I had to laugh. If I put baking powder in my laundry, will that give me edible sheets?

    I use ecover stain remover on my carpets. For clothes I use Dr. Bronner's liquid soap. It is the only thing that smells good and does not give me hives!
