At a dinner last night, a friend of mine was showing us her latest eco thing. Husks for washing clothes with 100% biodegradeble fluid you add to your wash. Looked interesting but I was sceptical. I told her I used Ariel & she gave me a lecture like you wouldn't believe! Apparently the company that produces Ariel (won't mention the name here) is the #1 killer of animals for testing their products. They do all kinds of horrible disgusting things, she said. I felt like a criminal. Is this hype? Does anyone else know about these washing husks and do they actually clean grubby, muddy & even poo-ey clothes?
