Hm - I have the washing powder. I put it on a full wash at 30, but when I opened the drawer at the end only half the powder had dissolved. I have put it on again for a second try and will report back later. But so far not wildly impressed, I'm afraid.

I got mine at the weekend - antibac spray and sachet of washing up liquid. Haven't tried the washing up liquid yet. And the antibac spray cleaned OK - no better or worse than any other. The container leaks though (if you press the bottle, then it squirts out) and feels quite cheap/not very substantial. Spray is too much too. Smells OK - fairly synthetic smelling and don't think the smell component is 'plant-derived' so the smell is as chemical/lab based as any other.

Have to say I'm mildly narked by the products in general, having seen the packaging and how its being promoted. Reads very much like those products that try to make claims by pulling the wool over people's eyes by using fluffy inconsequential advertising statements.

As far as I can see (I may have missed it) but the 'eco' part seems to relate to the fact that some (not all) of the components are 'plant-derived'. That, to me, isn't what 'eco' is all about. Eco is about being kind to the environment/reducing impact on environment - not just where it was derived from.

It doesn't state whether its biodegradable. Doesn't suggest you can use less of it. Just uses 'plant-derived' (so???!) and says the bottle was made from recyclable materials (but doesn't say that the bottle itself is recyclable after use - altho' I guess it probably is, depending on where you live).

Feels very disingenuous to me. Possibly it is eco-friendly (in its true sense) and just needs to be clearer in its advertising - but if its just because some of the products are plant-based then I think its jumping on the 'eco' bandwagon without being eco.

Used mine yesterday on a dark load, so can't tell yet if it actually removed stains and dirt. Doesn't smell of much despite using 60g and I actually like the smell of clean washing iyswim? No clog up of the drawer even though I expected it.
