We've been asked by Ecover to find 75 MNers to put the Ecover range to the MN test!

If you don't know the name Ecover then check out their website here. Ecover say "we have over 30 products for the home, laundry and dishes. Many of the products are dermatologically tested and approved, which is good news for those that have allergies or sensitive skin. Many products are GHI approved and all of the bottles are made out of Plant-astic, a renewable and sustainable plastic made from Sugar Cane".

We're looking for folks to try one of three sets of Ecover products in their home and to then add feedback on Mumsnet. We want a range of testers but we are ideally looking for MNers who are...

~ are in the UK
~ interested in sustainability, future generations and family values
~ keen to try Ecover for the first time, or to try it again after using it in the past or to try a product they have not used before

Ecover say "We're really pleased to be working with Mumsnet and are looking forward to your feedback. We've improved the effectiveness of our products over the years and would love to hear what you think about them"

There are three different packs of product available to choose from and they span the entire Ecover range - Kitchen / Bathroom / Laundry. We are looking for 25 testers for each pack. You can choose your first choice pack in the recruitment form. Each tester selected for each pack will get one of each of the following:

Kitchen
All Purpose Cleaner
Pomegranate Washing Up Liquid
Multi Action Spray

Bathroom
Bathroom Cleaner
Limescale Remover
Cream Cleaner

Laundry
Stain Remover
Concentrated Laundry Liquid Non Bio
Amongst the Flowers Fabric Conditioner

All testers will also get the following samples just for your own use: Lemon & Aloe Vera Washing Up Liquid, Non Bio Washing Powder and Under the Sun Fabric Conditioner.

If you are selected to take part you will be asked to try the products and then to add feedback on a thread on Mumsnet. Everyone who does so will be entered into a prize draw where one tester will get £250 of John Lewis vouchers.

If you'd like to take part please add your details here

NB: Testers will be selected on Monday and packs will be sent out Tuesday or Wednesday next week and will need to be signed for. If you'd rather put a work address on the form please do so.

Please note quotes from the feedback may be used on the Ecover pages on Mumsnet, coming soon. We will be in touch with selected testers.

Any questions please ask
Thanks and good luck, MNHQ

Mbear · 13/01/2012 20:42

Done! Use the washing up liquid already, so would like to try their washing products.

Yes please, I am very keen to take part.

Yes please :)

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 13/01/2012 21:04

Done - fingers crossed!

My first choice is the laundry pack, but I'd happily try any of them as we've never bought any of their products before.

bluebump · 13/01/2012 21:17

Done. Would love to try these.

RottenRow · 13/01/2012 21:40

Done!

bkgirl · 14/01/2012 01:37

I would love to do it, I have asthma, 2 children and 2 dogs. It would make sense to try this.

missyhughes · 14/01/2012 23:10

dizzyday07 · 15/01/2012 00:10

Like the sound of taking part

MamaMaiasaura · 16/01/2012 18:58

When would we hear on this as thought would be today?

mousyMouse · 16/01/2012 19:05

I love the washing up liquid, use it to refill the shower gel container as it doesn't trigger my eczema but don't tell dh
also like bio powder, washes well and smells nice.

ClaimedByMe · 16/01/2012 19:28

Tequilamockinbird · 16/01/2012 19:37

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 16/01/2012 19:55

I'm in Grin. Hoping it's for the laundry pack but I'm not 100% sure.

Thanks Ecover and MN!

AnnMumsnet · 16/01/2012 20:18

Yip! I'm in! My bathroom will gleam, I tell you. Or at least, one hopes so :o.

Popoozle · 16/01/2012 21:19

I have no e-mail. Obviously not a "chosen one". Boo. Shall go and cry in a corner Sad.

MamaMaiasaura · 16/01/2012 21:25

I've not heard Sad

poorbuthappy · 16/01/2012 21:26

I'm in!!!! Can't say I'm really looking forward to doing more washing, but I will suffer for you lot. Wink

4madboys · 16/01/2012 21:40

no email here either :( bit gutted tbh i was recomended by another mn who enters these things and has got loads of freebies and was raving about them, ihave entered a few now and never been chosen/pulled out of a hat or however it works.

i like ecover products and with my eczema would really have liked to try some others, am put off buying by the price and also the lack of availability of them in some shops.
