Favourite part was the scent I liked how the clothes smelt afterwards definatly

I was surprised by how well it get rid of the dirt from the clothes with two boys their clothes are often very dirty but it seemed no match for the detergent

Am I a convert yes however the price point would be the one aspect putting me off

I love th smell of this, was so light and fresh and not too overpowering.

I was surprised it got a lot of the stains out, having 3 little ones means they constantly staining their clothes, not all removable.

I would consider buying it again but only if they did it in powder version, not to keen on the liquid form

Absolutely amazing, fresh and natural sent. Honestly, I just love it!

Great cleaning power with hardly anything and a little goes a long way

What was your favourite thing about using Ecover Non-Bio Concentrated Laundry Detergent?
I liked the smell of the detergent; a little went a long way

What surprised you?
The ability of the detergent to remove stains. I have a toddler and a baby so it's a constant battle and not something that a non-bio can usually do!

Are you a convert?
If it's on offer, yes, but I think the RRP is actually a bit expensive.

1. My favourite thing was the smell. Not too chemical-y , but really fresh and lovely.

1. I was surprised by how long the bottle lasted. I have 3 small children so I do a LOT of laundry. This lasted much longer than my usual brand.

1. Yes I'm a concert and would definitely consider buying this, depending on the price.

Oops... that should say convert!

What was your favourite thing about using Ecover Non-Bio -

• Concentrated Laundry Detergent?

The fact that it was a concentrate, and the eco-friendly credentials

• What surprised you the most about Non-Bio Concentrated Laundry Detergent?

Unlike many other posters, I wasn't all that keen on the smell. Shades of floor polish IMO. However, I am a long term Ecover user, and am used to the mostly lovely smells, which are far far nicer than the normal chemical crap, most washing detergents use. So for me, this was less nice than my normal Ecover detergent, but still nicer than for e.g. Ariel.

• Are you a new convert to Non-Bio Concentrated Laundry Detergent?

Yes, my major beef with Ecover has been that haven't done a concentrate version, especially as Method do a very good one which I have bought in the past. I would prefer a less floor polish-y scent though.

What was your favourite thing about using Ecover Non-Bio -

• Concentrated Laundry Detergent?

We have soft water installed so have to use really less deterrent and found it really easy with the liquid detergent. The fresh smell and the clothes were well looked after.

• What surprised you the most about Non-Bio Concentrated Laundry Detergent?

We regularly use the ecover washing up Liquid but did not think the laundry one would be so effective as well.

• Are you a new convert to Non-Bio Concentrated Laundry Detergent?

It depends on the price largely.

Favourite thing - the gorgeous smell. Made my house smell clean but not chemically so.
Surprised me the most - I didn't expect it to have the cleaning power that it did.
Am I a convert - if it is at an affordable price, yes

• What was your favourite thing about using Ecover Non-Bio - definitely the smell - the sheets smelt lovely for quite a long time after washing
• What surprised you the most about Non-Bio Concentrated Laundry Detergent?

I was surprised by how well it got out tough stains. We are currently doing baby led weaning so we have A LOT of assorted food stains on all the baby clothes and this handled everything we threw at it (literally!)

• Are you a new convert to Non-Bio Concentrated Laundry Detergent?

It would honestly depend on the price point. At the moment I'm on mat leave to watching the pennies and mostly using supermarket own brand. I do feel this is a better product but probably won't switch until I am back st work.

I love the smell and it was great to have a concentrated liquid. It had great cleaning power too.

I wasn't expecting it to perform as well as my usual non-bio powder but it did. Clothes just as clean - even at our usual 30'degrees.
