Belgium - daft question about non-biological washing powder!

Hello

I have lived here for 2 years and have suddenly wondered whether I am buying biological or non-biological washing liquid (lots of my newer clothes say don't wash in biological powder). I cannot for the life of me work out on the packaging whether they biological (contain enzymes) or not. I have been buying Delhaize own brand green washing liquid (cheaper version of ecover). I have washing in the machine but contemplating a trip to stonemanor to buy some english stuff I can understand!

I import all mine from the UK, so don't know. I have used Daz liquid which has been fine.

If you didn't know....Stonemanor now have some of the Waitrose Essentials range in stock; did a fandango there the other day when I saw them.

And also....further down the thread is the Belgian Xmas meetup - would you like to join us if Porto hasn't already got you on the Belgian list?

I have never even thought about it - only that is so fecking expensive! Grin

Usually I buy Le Chat, which I take to be a Belgian version of Fairy. Or the Carrefour own brand discount tabs which I like because they are about 3 euros for 18 washes. Never had any problem with either.

I am just about to go to Delhaize so will have a look. I have never seen that label in any clothes but don't buy them often.
OP, have you looked at Colruyt for cleaning gear? I find it cheaper than Carrefour or Delhaize.

I had a quick look (I had two nine year olds with me), the only one that I think is non bio is dreft.

Thank you for your posts - went to Stonemanor in the end so know what I am buying!
