I will answer each of the questions in turn below, but first just wanted to say overall I LOVE these wipes. thanks so much for the opportunity to test them out as I wouldn't have thought of using ecover for wipes before. I have been eagerly waiting for this feedback thread to be set up as I loved them from the very first wipe and have been keenly using them ever since!
- What were your thoughts and feelings about Ecover prior to trying them? Had you used any Ecover products before?
I am a big fan of Ecover products as they do the job at least as well as (sometimes better than) non-eco products. I regularly used Ecover wash up liquid, mizu soap, all purpose cleaner, and loo cleaner.
- Do you currently use wipes as part of your cleaning regime? Is it because they are convenient, value for money or for other reasons?
Yes I use another brand of wipes mainly for cleaning the toilets, if there are spills on the floor or for a quick clean around the basins. I use them mainly for convenience as i often need to very quickly clean up after the kids and wipes are the most convenient way. I keep a pack in the kitchen, in the cloakroom and in the bathroom so they are always to hand for those spills.
- Ecover Multi-Action Wipes can be used throughout your home - from toilet seats to highchairs - where did you test your wipes? Did they do the job?
I used them for toilet, basin, highchair, changing mat, floor, table (even on carpet which i don't think you are supposed to but I needed to quickly clean up baby sick and they did the job nicely).
I ESPECIALLY loved that you didn't need to rinse after as that is my no 1 criteria for these types of wipes to make it quick and convenient. I was very impressed that even on highchairs / change mats etc they were safe to use without rinsing.
- How important is it that the wipes are Anti-bacterial and kill 99.9% of bacteria? Do you use any Anti-bacterial products for cleaning or hygiene?
yes it's important. and I use an anti-bac spray for surfaces sometimes and I use antibac wipes for the toilet / sink.
- Thinking about the wipes, did you find the packaging easy to use and carry all the information you needed? Did you like the fragrance? Did the wipes retain enough moisture to get the job done?
I LOVED the fact that they were so moist. Other wipes are often dissapointing as they are quite dry and dry out quickly. I often have to end up adding a bit of extra water to them to make them work but these were FAB! loved the fragrance - not all chemical smells like other wipes. Packaging was fine. The wipes did the job BETTER than i expected. Really love how effective they are.
- The wipes are FSC sourced and biodegradable - how did you dispose of your wipes once used? Would you pop them on the compost heap or perhaps with food waste? They are not flushable, is this problem?
I put them in the bin. I don't mind that they are not flushable. I was impressed when I noticed the FSC certification but I never thought of putting them in the compost bin. Now that I know that they could be, i would consider putting them in our green (cardboard / compostables) bin.
- Would you buy the products in the future? If it came up in conversation do you think you'd recommend to a friend? Why? If not why?
Yes i would buy. and Yes I would recommend. Because they are so effective and in my opinion are superior to other products AND I love the fact they are safe to use without rinsing on things like highchairs, change mat surfaces etc .
- Having now tried Ecover Multi-Action Wipes has it changed your perception of the brand? If so, how?
I was always a big fan since first trying ecover a few years ago and found their products to be so good. I am very pleased with the wipes performance so it makes me think that ecover are really good at what they do!
- Finally, using a 5-star rating with 5 being excellent and 1 being poor? what would you give Ecover Multi-Action Wipes?
5 star for sure! thank you ecover x
