1. What were your thoughts and feelings about Ecover prior to trying them? Had you used any Ecover products before?

I had used some products before. The washing powder I hadn't found very effective. I do love the linseed oil floor cleaner and I use the washing up liquid.

1. 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 usually use baby wipes as they are cheap and easy to use.

1. 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 the ecover wipes to clean grease off of the kitchen cupboards, which the baby wipes had failed to do. They worked very well. I also used them to clean tables and kitchen tops, as well as the hob. All had good results.

1. 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, I used anti-bacterial products and this was an incentive to try these wipes.

1. 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?

The wipes are quite wet and thin but get the job done.

1. 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 hadn't thought to compost them but could do that. Flushable would be ideal.

1. 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?

Depends upon pricing.

1. Having now tried Ecover Multi-Action Wipes has it changed your perception of the brand? If so, how?

This was a product that worked well so made me think that Ecover products can be effective.

1. Finally, using a 5-star rating with 5 being excellent and 1 being poor? what would you give Ecover Multi-Action Wipes?

4 - could be 5 depending upon price per wipe

1. What were your thoughts and feelings about Ecover prior to trying them? Had you used any Ecover products before?

I have used Ecover multi-surface cleanser for years now and am very pleased with its effectiveness, price and scent. I dilute it in an old bottle and use with an old face flannel to clean all kitchen surfaces.

1. Do you currently use wipes as part of your cleaning regime? Is it because they are convenient, value for money or for other reasons?

I use wipes occasionally for convenience and in the bathroom always.

1. 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 these wipes all over the kitchen, bathroom and on table/play tops.

1. 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?

Not at all important to me. I do not use anything that?s specifically anti-bacterial for cleaning or hygiene, just ordinary soap and water.

1. 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?

Overall, I liked the wipes. The packaging, however, made it fiddly to get the wipes out, especially at the bottom of the pack. The fragrance was fine. They were moist enough. My only quibble is that they were on the small side.

1. 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?

We live in a flat so have no compost heap unfortunately, so I disposed of them with our regular rubbish. But I don?t flush wipes, anyhow, so this isn?t a problem.

1. 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?

I would because it?s an Ecover product that?s convenient for when your life is very busy or to keep in a bag or in the car.

1. Having now tried Ecover Multi-Action Wipes has it changed your perception of the brand? If so, how?

No, I still think it?s a really good brand for household cleaning.

1. Finally, using a 5-star rating with 5 being excellent and 1 being poor? what would you give Ecover Multi-Action Wipes?

4.5

thanks and good luck

1. What were your thoughts and feelings about Ecover prior to trying them? Had you used any Ecover products before?

Never used them before. Thought Ecover was environmentally focused and wouldn't have the same level of cleaning power of other brands.

1. Do you currently use wipes as part of your cleaning regime? Is it because they are convenient, value for money or for other reasons?

No haven't used them before. Thought too costly.

1. 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?

Used them in the bathroom, kitchen and family dining room. Did the job of a quick clean up (not a thorough lean) and even removed pen marks from a wooden chair.

1. 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?

I generally don't go for anti-bacterial products as I believe a few germs are healthy.

1. 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?

The packaging was good, even my children commented so. Fragrance was ok but nothing special but I'm not sniffing them as I clean so it's not so important. I found them very moist.

1. 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 it in the bin, not a problem.

1. 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?

They are handy for quick clean ups but would probably only buy when on offer. Wasn't so impressed that I would recommend them.

1. Having now tried Ecover Multi-Action Wipes has it changed your perception of the brand? If so, how?

No great change but the wipes may be as good as other brands I don't know.

1. Finally, using a 5-star rating with 5 being excellent and 1 being poor? what would you give Ecover Multi-Action Wipes?

A middle 3.

1. What were your thoughts and feelings about Ecover prior to trying them? Had you used any Ecover products before?

Had used Ecover washing up liquid prior to test but nothing else. I had hoped that the products would be more 'skin kind' than traditional products. Was aware that the products are billed as being kinder to the environment.

1. Do you currently use wipes as part of your cleaning regime? Is it because they are convenient, value for money or for other reasons?

I do use wipes currently, only in the bathroom areas. I use them because they are convenient and hygenic.

1. 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 the wipes in the bathroom and they cleaned the toilet seat etc as well as previous brand so pleased with that. Also cleaned high chair and plastic table cloth and that went less well as the wipes rolled up before they cleaned the stuck on weetabix! Used them in the kitchen to clean the front of units and dishwasher and they were effective in that area.

1. 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?

Very important that they are antibacterial due to the areas that I use them. I always buy antibacterial cleaning sprays and wipes.

1. 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?

Packaging was completely fine. I loved the fragrance, it was fresh and clean without making you feel as though you would choke! The wipes remained moist throughout the tasks I set them.

1. 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 just put the wipes in the normal bin actually but now I have read this, I would consider putting the ones that have cleaned in the kitchen in with the food waste but not the ones that cleaned in the toilet. If they were flushable, that would be amazing.

1. 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?

I would buy in the future as they smelled really nice. Would really depend on the price compared to other brands when I was in the shop. I would recommend to a friend as they are better for environment and smelled nice but I would say that the wipes dont cope with the more demanding jobs ( like highchairs)

1. Having now tried Ecover Multi-Action Wipes has it changed your perception of the brand? If so, how?

It has not changed my perception of brand as I was already aware that the products are billed as being more environmentally friendly.

1. Finally, using a 5-star rating with 5 being excellent and 1 being poor? what would you give Ecover Multi-Action Wipes?

I would give the wipes 4 stars, loosing points only because they rolled up on the harder to clean areas.

Sorry it took me so long to reply - I was without a computer

1. What were your thoughts and feelings about Ecover prior to trying them?

I wanted to like them because of the brand

Had you used any Ecover products before?
Yes have used the washing up liquid but wasnt that impressed. Also bought some cleaning products when on offer but our cleaner asked me not to buy them again because they dont work as well as other brands (her view)

1. 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, use wipes regularly for cleaning up messy spills, juice, cake mix, anything that needs a quike wipe rather than a proper scrub

1. 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?

Tested in the kitchen and in the toilet The didnt do the job in the kitchen to be honest, they were very soft and too flimsy, giving way several times in cleaning up spills. Not strong enough for cleaning high chair. Fine in the toilet but again felt quite flimsy

1. 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?

Very important, normally use an antibac wipe or antibac spray with a cloth

1. 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?

Yes, frangrance was abit subtle to be honest, they retained enough moisture however other issues meant they didnt do the job

1. 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?

Composted but felt very strange doing so

1. 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?

No - wouldnt recommend to a friend with children although have recommend to a friend without (with natural-only waste disposal system)

1. Having now tried Ecover Multi-Action Wipes has it changed your perception of the brand? If so, how?

No

1. Finally, using a 5-star rating with 5 being excellent and 1 being poor? what would you give Ecover Multi-Action Wipes?

3 fine but not for us.

1. What were your thoughts and feelings about Ecover prior to trying them? Had you used any Ecover products before?

I hadn't used the products before. I could see the benefits of eco friendly products but thought they were a little expensive and was unsure how good they would be.

1. 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 do use wipes. It's because they're convenient and hygenic.

1. 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 the wipes mainly in the bathroom and kitchen. They were quite good but quite foamy and the wipes got used up quite quickly.

1. 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?

It's very important that they are anti-bacterial. I use mainly anti-bacterial products for cleaning.

1. 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?

Yes, I liked the packaging and found it easy to use. I did not find the fragrance particularly strong. The wipes were possibly a little too wet and foamy.

1. 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 do not have a compost heap so I put them in the bin with food waste. I would usually flush wipes but it's not a problem.

1. 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?

I would probably not buy the products or recommend them because of the foamy residue and the fact that I probably needed to use more wipes than usual to get the job done.

1. Having now tried Ecover Multi-Action Wipes has it changed your perception of the brand? If so, how?

It hasn't really changed my perception of the brand but I may try other products in future.

1. Finally, using a 5-star rating with 5 being excellent and 1 being poor? what would you give Ecover Multi-Action Wipes?

I would give them a 3.

1. What were your thoughts and feelings about Ecover prior to trying them? Had you used any Ecover products before?

I was quite indifferent. I knew of the brand but really had no opinion on it one way or another. I have never used Ecovr products, and I don't know anyone else who does.

1. Do you currently use wipes as part of your cleaning regime? Is it because they are convenient, value for money or for other reasons?

I currently use antibacterial wipes only because they were on offer and I had money off coupons for them meaning they cost me very little. I like having them but can live without.

1. 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 use them on kitchen surfaces and on my toddler's toilet style potty. They did the job as well as I would expect them to and I was happy with the end results.

1. 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?

It is very important that wipes are anti-bacterial becuase of where I use them (food prep areas and potty). I would not buy a wipe which was not anti-bacterial.

1. 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 thought the packaging was nice, more pleasing on the eye than other brands. The pack was easy to open and re-sealed well and carried all the information I would like to have. I really liked the fragrance as it was a nice alternative to the usual pine or bleachy smelling cleaning products. The wipes were moist enough and did reamin so, although I would have liked them to be a little thicker as I prefered to use them doubled over.

1. 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 disposed of mine with the normal household waste, and I would prefer them to be flushable but this is not really a massive problem for me and I can cope with the fact that they are not.

1. 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?

I would buy in the future if they were the same price as the alternative product I was going to buy. I would not pay more just for a nice fragrance or eco credentials. I would recommend to a friend that they are well performing and that they should give them a try if they were already considering buying them.

1. Having now tried Ecover Multi-Action Wipes has it changed your perception of the brand? If so, how?

I would now be inclined to think that generally, Ecover products perform as well as leading brand items and if people are concerned about their cleaning products affect on the environement, they should certainly consider using Ecover.

1. Finally, using a 5-star rating with 5 being excellent and 1 being poor? what would you give Ecover Multi-Action Wipes?+

I would have to say 4 as I would like them to be a little thicker, but overall, I would class them as above average.

1. Used the cleaning spray, dishwasher tablets and washing liquid before and liked the first two products
2. Yes, a lot! Weaning a messy toddler so use several packets a week
3. Tested in kitchen and bathroom but they did not do a satisfactory job, did not clean kitchen bench properly and left foamy residue for several minutes so I could not see it wasn't clean till later
4. Very important as I use them to clean food prep areas
5. Packaging ok, didn't like the smell, product was too foamy
6. Put them in the bin, would not be comfortable putting with compost
7. Would not buy as I am happy with the Dettol surface wipes and water wipes I use currently
8. Disappointed in the brand as all the other Ecover products I use are great
9. 1 too small, too foamy and sickly smell

1. I use ecover washing up liquid at the moment, I like the idea of using them, when we had a hosepipe ban, it was nice to know that I could use the washing up water to water needy plants without worry about toxic yuk. I like the idea of having effective cleaning products that aren't harmful, more so since I've had DD.

1. We do use wipes, they aren't something that I use as a large part of my cleaning routine, I tend to keep a pack in the car for cleaning parts of the buggy off, mud [or worse]. Much easier than putting a dirty buggy back in the car and having to deal with it on return.

1. I used them to wipe down DD's High chair seat, I did use them around the toilet and loo seat, I also used them to wipe the cupboard fronts after DH cunningly put some lemonade in a sippy cup, first thing DD did was shake it and it exploded everywhere. It was really fresh smelling without being too overwhelming, I'm 16 weeks pregnant and still find smells can set off my nausea and cleaning products have been making me feel vile, these didn't. They did take the filth/yuk off effectively. I tried them on DD's buggy when she smeared jam in the side panels.

1. Antibacterial is important to me, these wipes made me feel good that the antibacterial was from a natural source. I currently use Tea tree oil in hot water after I've cleaned surfaces off, to act as an antibacterial surface cleanser.

1. The packaging was fine, the sticky front lost it's stick with speedy wipe removal. The wipes smelled fresh but not overwhelmingly so. They were moist enough to do the job on fresh messes, didn't really try them on dried on yuk.

1. I put them in my compost heap. Shall see in the spring how well they've decomposed when we do the turn around.

1. I would certainly consider buying them to go in the car, but I'm not sure they'd replace the cleaning stuff I use in the house. Though I would have to travel a bit out of my way to get them.

1. No change really, I've always though that ecover products were ethical and good for the environment.

1. 5* it's the full product that makes me so happy with it, biodegradable, antibacterial, effective cleaning and non offensive odour.

1. What were your thoughts and feelings about Ecover prior to trying them? Had you used any Ecover products before?

Often use Ecover - like the brand generally.

1. Do you currently use wipes as part of your cleaning regime? Is it because they are convenient, value for money or for other reasons?

Not generally - always seem wasteful. Sometimes keep some in the glove box of the car but not generally around the house.

1. 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?

Mainly in the bathroom but also in kitchen. Seemed to do the job well although would agree with others that they are a bit too small and some jobs needed several wipes. Also they were very wet, not necessarily a problem but it meant surfaces were really quite wet after use.

1. 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?

Not essential - don't use many anti-bac products generally.

1. 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?

Packaging good - seemed to seal well again. Fragrance was nice - liked it but not overpowering (which I think is good!) If anything the wipes stayed too wet!

1. 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?

Bathroom wipes I just put in the bin - didn't even think about it. But did put them in the compost bin when I used them in the kitchen.

1. 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?

Not sure, I'm still not convinced on the eco argument for wipes when perhaps spray and cloth would be less wasteful but having said that, I might well buy a pack to have around for when I do need that convenience (anti-bac might be more important once baby no 2 arrives in a couple of months...)

1. Having now tried Ecover Multi-Action Wipes has it changed your perception of the brand? If so, how?

No - still like the brand

1. Finally, using a 5-star rating with 5 being excellent and 1 being poor? what would you give Ecover Multi-Action Wipes?

4 stars - just the size which I would change.

1. We use ecover regularly- the washing up liquid is great, and we use fabric softener too on adults clothes. Always been happy with their products.

1. Don't use wipes, as I worry about the waste, and worry about them falling apart on me (bound to be when I'm cleaning the loo!!)

1. Used them in the kitchen and in the bathroom, thinking of going round doing all the lightswitches now too. Everything looked clean, of course one can't see germs!

1. V important- have 2 small children, the youngest of which lives with his hands in his mouth! Use anti-bac currently on loo and kitchen bin lid.

1. Easy to use, yes, liked scent, stayed moist yup. We were supposed to read the packet???

1. I disposed of in bin, we don't have composting facilities I have to admit I assumed they were flushable, but I would never flush stuff like that down the loo.

1. Yes, I'd buy them- were easy, convenient to use, and I could recommend them without hesitation. They don't fall apart, or leave odd residue, smell nice.

1. Well, I already had a high opinion of them tbh, I never buy any other washing up liquid or fabric softener.

1. For me, 5 stars- really easy and convenient.

1. What were your thoughts and feelings about Ecover prior to trying them? Had you used any Ecover products before?

I like the idea of using eco products but wasnt sure they would be as effective as regular brands

1. Do you currently use wipes as part of your cleaning regime? Is it because they are convenient, value for money or for other reasons?

occasionally used wipes, but then bought microfibre cloths i chuck in the washing machine

1. 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 in the kitchen for the work surfaces and table. they did the job but felt squidgey and kind of scrunched up small. i didnt like that

1. 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?

very important!! i use dettol spray and replace my cloths and tea towel daily

1. 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? they retained moisure really well and smelled nice. packaging looked nice
2. 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 tyhe general waste. flushable would be handy if using in the bathroom. but not a deal breaker
3. 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? i would recommend eco products, but really dont like the texture of the wipes when in use...
4. Having now tried Ecover Multi-Action Wipes has it changed your perception of the brand? If so, how? my perception has not changed.
5. Finally, using a 5-star rating with 5 being excellent and 1 being poor? what would you give Ecover Multi-Action Wipes? 3

1. I generally buy Ecover laundry and some cleaning products it tend to use Method products in the bathroom. I like their products and their ethos.

2 the only place I really use wipes is in the bathroom for cleaning the loo and the sink in between proper weekly cleans

1. I used them in the bathroom

4 I like that they were anti bacterial especially as I have a crawling baby who's fascinated by the toilet 5 packaging was easy to use. I didn't read the information. The smell was great - much less of a chemical smell than most other wipes I've used. They retained loads of moisture, too much really because they left so much soap on surfaces that it needed rinsing afterwards 6 I put them in the bathroom bin. Would much prefer them to be flush able if using in the bathroom. The wipes I currently use are 7 I'm not sure I would buy the wipes which is a shame as I like Ecover products generally. The best thing about them was the smell but they were too small and left soap residue over surfaces that needed cleaning off so wasn't a quick and easy cleaning solution (which I think is the main USP for wipes) 8 my perception of the brand hasn't changed. I'll still continue to buy the Ecover products I do currently 9 3

1. I have used Ecover products before as I prefer to chose environmentally friendly products if I can. However, I have had mixed results. At present I only use the toilet cleaner.

1. I do use wipes, but try not to use them too much because of environmental concerns. I mainly use the flushable toilet wipes and floor cleaning wipes.

1. I tested the Ecover wipes in my kitchen and bathroom. They did do the job but with some reservations (see 5 below).

1. I like that the products are anti-bacterial, but don't pay much mind to the %ages as everyone needs some exposure to germs! (I also think they're more of a marketing tool).

1. I liked the fragrance because it was not over-powering. I also liked that they didn't leave my hands feeling dry and they were easy to get out of the packet. However, I found them a little small and impregnated with far too much product. The surfaces I wiped were left with foamy streaks, whereas most wipes are designed not to leave residue.

1. I put the wipes used in the kitchen in my food waste bin (to be composted) but the ones from the bathroom in my black-bin rubbish (nearest bin to hand). The fact that they are not flushable is not a problem.

1. I wouldn't buy these wipes in the future as they just contained too much moisture for me. I would recommend that a friend try them, but explain my reservations. Saying that, I might buy them if they were on special offer.

1. It has not changed my perception of the Ecover brand. I will still try their products and use the ones that I like.

1. I would give Ecover Multi-Action Wipes a 3.

1. Have used before but find the products more expensive than other brand names
2. Yes, like the quickness and convenience of grabbing a wipe to clean something
3. Used in the kitchen, to wipe cupboards, worktops, table etc.
4. Very important. I like to feel like I have killed any germs
5. Nice packaging, smell ok, wipes were far too foamy and small though
6. Didn't realise they were compostable so put them in normal bin not the food waste bin. Very pleased to learn they are compostable though
7. if on offer I might
8. I would probably try other ecover products now
9. 3 - would give a higher mark if they were bigger and not so foamy though

1. I've used Ecover in the past but wasn't as sure of their green creds so have more recently favoured method.
2. Always use wipes - DH loathes a traditional cloth (germ freak!) so that and convenience mean we usually have 2 packs open!
3. Kitchen/downstairs loo
4. V important - see germ freak DH above.
5. Package had enough info & we all liked the fragrance. Wipes were very moist - too much so really.
6. Not being flush able is fine, when my DH sorts the composter they can go there, but in the meantime I don't feel so bad chucking them!
7. I might buy them in future - price is important. Would probably recommend them if asked.
8. Re-established your green-ness for me!
9. 3.5. It would have been 4.5 if they weren't so wet!

1. No I hadn't used ecover products before.. Thought they may not clean as well as other more established brands

1. Yes, convenience

1. Mainly on Hugh chair, kitchen surface, toilet. Yes they do work.

1. Very important

1. Loved the fragrance. Retained moisture very well, could have done with being a bit bigger as couldn't get much surface coverage with one wipe. Material was a little flimsy- packaging great, very informative.

1. I threw them in the bin, wouldn't put them in a compost bin and doesn't matter they aren't flush able.

1. Would recommend if only purely for the fragrance they were good.

1. Yes, they clean as well as detail or flash and smell nicer and areole Eco friendly. Would use again definately

1. 4- marked down for size and flimsiness

1. What were your thoughts and feelings about Ecover prior to trying them? Had you used any Ecover products before?

1. Do you currently use wipes as part of your cleaning regime? Is it because they are convenient, value for money or for other reasons?

Only buy wipes when they are on special offer as I see them as a bit of a luxury and extravagance. Use them mainly for cleaning toilets.

1. 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?

Tested on downstairs sink and toilet and was surprised what a good job they did! Very little scrubbing.

1. 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, important as have small kids and whilst bit of dirt ok want to kill all the bacteria in the loo and sink area. I use an natural antibacterial spray to clean kitchen surfaces.

1. 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?

Found the wipes a bit hard to separate and open. They were very moist, a bit too much. Fragrance was subtle but I liked it. Information displayed well, number of wipes hidden in top right corner though, I would make it more prominent.

1. 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 but now I see that they are biodegradable I would put them in the compost. Would not flush down toilet as got Victorian plumbing that gets blocked easily!

Yes, at the right price would use. Would not mention to a friend as they are nothing special.

1. The packaging of the wipes was perfect no need for anything major in my opinion. Fragrance was not very strong but i liked that as i hate overwhelming smells. Retained moisture well.

1. I threw the wipes away. I did not use in my bathroom simply because i prefer to flush the wipes straight down the toilet as opposed of keeping hold of them.

1. I would rate these wipes 5*. They do the job that they are meant to and suit my cleaning regime perfectly.

1. Never used any Ecover products before, can't remember seeing them in the shops
2. I used to use wipes a lot when DS was a baby, but use them occasionally now, cleaning the bathroom/kitchen floor. Convenient, but a bit extravagant, so not always on the shopping list
3. Used them in the kitchen and in the car! Yes, they did the job
4. anti-bacterial is very important to me, I don't buy wipes or washingup liquid unless they are antio-bacterial. things look clean, but you never know, especially in the kitchen
5. Packaging was easy to use, wipes stayed moist after re-sealing. Fragrance wasn't strong, but that appeals to me
6. TBH, they just went in the bin. But we don't have a compost heap or food waste bin. Flushable would be helpful, when cleaning the bathroom
7. Yes, I would you buy the products in the future. Yes, I would tell friends I was involved in a testing and recommend them
8. I will look out for other Ecover products now having used the brand

1. I like the idea of a "green" brand because I want to limit the amount of chemicals that my children come into contact with in the home. I have used Ecover washing up liquid before and liked the fragrance, although found it not quite as effective as other brands. I am a huge fan of Ecover stain remover for laundry. It's the only thing that reliably gets stains out of baby clothes.
2. I use anti-bacterial wipes on the toilet, door handles, bins, high chairs and other places where there are lots of germs. I like the fact that you wipe and then throw away so the germs are not lingering in the house.
3. The toilet, door handles, bins, high chairs and other places where there are lots of germs. They were a bit too wet and left annoying streaks on the bin.
4. Very important. I only use wipes for cleaning or hygiene.
5. The packaging did not appear to be different from other brands. It was easy to use and carried all the information I needed. I liked the fragrance but the wipes were too wet.
6. I put them in the bin. I didn't consider putting them on the compost heap. Food waste goes in the wormery and I'm not sure the wipes would be suitable for worms. I never flush wipes so not being flushable is not a problem.
7. No because they were much too wet and left streaks on surfaces. I wouldn't recommend them to a friend because I was disappointed with them.
8. Slightly disappointed because I have been pleasantly surprised by the effectiveness of other Ecover products.
9. 3 stars for the green credential and the fragrance.
