Lovely product

So useful to be able to buy washing up liquid in bulk. I use for light cleaning as well as washing up at my house and my Mums so I know we are helping to tackle the growing plastic waste issue
M. P., Harrogate

Brilliant product as usual
K. A., Blyth
10/11/2023
I am VERY impressed, I didn't expect to be. Clothes smell really fresh and are soft. The smell is natural and non chemical. I measure the recommended 40ml and it is just right. I have probably wasted so much down the drain using too much of other products whilst harming the environment. Our soak away has no odours any more.
D. L., Near Bideford

I started using the eco products when we had a new sewage system, and have never looked back..... even though I've moved and no longer need to use. It smells lovely, washes well, great value for money as lasts me months and so easy to order
S., Corpusty. Norwich

I like this but it gets lumpy and blocks up my automatic softener dispenser in my washing machine
H. L. R., Bishops Stortford
21/01/2023
A great green alternative to most other fabric softeners and with an attractive saving when buying the 5L refill. If you're serious about helping the environment, this is a great product to buy!
N. R., Bristol
18/11/2022
Buying in bulk is a saving although would still prefer less plastic. I like the scent of this but I use less than suggested and find it just as good. I have used it for many years now and prefer it.

The whole Ecover range is great, the fabric softener is gentle to my clothes and makes my cotton boot socks so soft!

I love the fact that I can buy a 5L refill size, better for the environment and better for my pocket 😉
S. W., Glasgow

It keeps my laundry soft and static free, and keeps my partner happy because the wash smells fresh, yet the perfume is not so overpowering as to overwhelm my allergy sensitivity. Does the job!

Mrs A. M. J., Llandysul

I use Ecover fabric conditioner and Ecover washing up liquid. These products are suitable for all households and they are good quality, using small amounts giving good performance, so are economic.
M. T., Seascale
10/11/2016
I prefer to use this fabric conditioner as it has a very light fragrance - I don't like the ones which are too scented.

I've been using this fabric conditioner for years as it works well and it's not bad for the environment. Now I can buy it in bulk, saving lots of plastic!
J. T., Horsham
10/09/2016
The clothes feel lovely having used this. The reason for four stars is because the aroma is very mild. I don't like the artificial smells associated with cleaning products and would prefer to have no smell than use them, it just would be nice for this product to have a little stronger aroma left on the clothes.
D. D., Drighlington
31/08/2016

J. W., Llandovery
26/08/2016
Good - does the job.
A. L., Whitley Bay
19/07/2016
Really pleased with this fabric conditioner. My washing smells lovely and is really soft. Being a 5L refill cuts down on excessive packaging and is much cheaper than buying the smaller bottles which is all I can buy locally!

unfortunately I used scissors to open the box and pieced the inner bag. Managed to save all of the liquid so no loss of fluid.
J., Aylmerton
22/12/2015
Love the yellow one, smells lovely! Clothes are soft and fresh and if you use a little extra the scent stays! The refill 5ltr saves you money. Will be buying again.

Recommend fabric conditioner , especially to anyone with sensitive skin
Excellent quality product
Good to have refill box as this saves packaging and waste
Mrs P. T., Ossett
13/11/2015
I'm sorry but I find these questions somewhat annoying/unnecessary. How would you think I would use this product - in my washing of course! And the cleansing lotion and shampoo .......?

All the products I would recommend to anyone wishing to reduce their use of synthetic chemicals in everyday products and the impact of such chemicals on the environment.

What do I think of the quality of the products? The clue is in my 'star' rating.
G. J., Bodmin
07/11/2015
excellent product, pleasant perfume.
Mr H. S., Peterborough
05/11/2015
I have used Ecover laundry products for at least 15 years - they clean fantastically - no strong perfumes & environmentally friendly. The bag in box is very economical - and much less packaging to dispose of!
N. C., hartlepool

Best way to buy Ecover; in bulk better value for money and delivered to your door.
S. D., Coventry

Large container is user friendly as the tap is non drip. No need to decant it. Excellent conditioning qualities.
M. C. L., Llantrisant
24/10/2015
I have used this product for years. The scent is light and pleasant - not overpowering. I sometimes do bits of washing for my son's girlfriend who has sensitive skin. Unlike some fabric softeners this one has never caused her any problems.
Mrs. S. B., Newton Stewart
10/10/2015
Been using this for a few years & very happy, makes it good value when using the refill & leave my clothes with a nice smell but not too overpowering.

Nice product - have been using for some time - pleasant smell - as with laundry liquid ordered a box this time as more cost effective - but have same concerns - tap difficult to get in position and box doesn't look like it will last very long
S. H., Millbrook

B. C., near Preston Bissett
17/09/2013
Find this a good softener at a good price.
M. J. M., Castle Douglas
05/09/2013
I have used the product for a number of years & really like it. The only bugbear I have is the packaging - although it is eco-friendly, it is a bit tricky to use the tap so I decant it into the 5l bottle that preceded this packaging & then decant that into a smaller bottle to keep by the washing machine. The tap bottle has to sit up high to get something under it to dispense & mine has to sit on the floor as I have no other room for it. I would prefer an eco plastic bottle personally.
R. G., Twickenham
05/09/2013
Great product. I have been using it for years and would not use any other.
C. L., Frome

Very good value and well liked by my family as it doesn't smell as much
S. G., Reading
04/06/2013
I use the product in place of supermarket fabric softener due to someone with skin problems. This product is the only one I can use. I would recommend it to anyone for those purposes. It's maybe not quite as good as other softeners, but then this is natural and harmless to the environment - big plus points in my view.
W. M., Waltham Abbey
14/05/2013
would recommend,great quality,
G. D., Glasgow

D. P., Hereford
18/04/2012
Excellent results but without the overpowering smell of big brand softeners. I have found if you buy in bulk, then store the product for over a year it goes thick and gloopy - so if you buy in bulk remember to use it!
R. L., Basingstoke
03/04/2012
Great value for money. It works realy well and smells great.

Best fabric softener ever. Love the big 5l container. Cuts down on packaging
T. K., Newburbgh
28/02/2012
I use this all the time as I live in a hard water area. The product is ideal for anyone who suffers from skin complaints as it is gentle and not over powering with its perfume.
I use the large refil 5 litre container which is ideal for a large family and can be decanted into a smaller container.
D. A., Hockley
11/02/2012
I use the product in my washing machine and also for hand washing of garments
I can recommend this product to all people who like to use fabric softeners but care for our environment

Y. L., Reading
21/07/2011
used as fabric softener- recommend to everyone because green product, however I believe the product has been watered down since its introduction which is disappointing.
P. C., Carluke
08/06/2011
I have used this product for quite a while now, even after trying other brands, I still come back to this. It has a very light and subtle fragrance and with the 5l bottles I can just top my original 1l bottle up saving on waste and cost. I find this fabric softener slightly more concentrated than some others I have tried, which makes it go further.
C. J., barnsley
08/06/2011
use to condition clothes. would recommend to anyone who uses conditioner. good quality product
T. G., norwich
05/05/2011
Not quite as good at softening as the more mainstream label softeners, but being environmentally safe more than makes up what is, after all, a bit of petrochemical coating on my clothes.

Ecover products are good, but not fabulous and they are quite pricey but I suspect their cusomers dont buy soley on effectiveness. They have improved enormously over the years (bit like Fairtrade coffee!).
