in decades, since I learned their LOC "liquid organic cleaner" wasn't organic. Of course, it depends on your definition of organic. Some say ammonia, or bleach is organic. |

Not sure if you'd be interested but Tesco have just got the new Method liquid in. It's different to the 4x concentrate available in the States and Australia as it's 39 washes per bottle instead of 66 and the ingredients are a little different as it's made in the EU. They also have Seventh Generation liquid from the States too, they've also got SG washing up liquid and spray cleaner.
The Method smells quite fruity but in a nice way. Bargain at £5 per bottle just now. I resisted buying any as I've just had a big Splosh delivery. CLICK HERE TO GO TO Paulc's LINK |

In that case Marks and Spencers detergents should be high quality as they are Mcbride products. Any own brands you recommend avoiding? Has anyone tried the Ecozone detergents?

Is one of the few Eco detergents I didn't try on my 14 month trial of Eco detergents , I just didn't like the smell in the bottle. I think the concentrated version is slightly better.
The bonus of the Seventh Generation liquid is its biological. Ecover now has a bio colour care liquid on general sale in Sainsbury's. www.ecover.com/products/c... |

Have you tried the Seventh Generation yourself? In comparison to Ariel is it any good? |

"optical brighteners simply because they are never rinsed off"
Yes, they are, eventually. This is why detergents and fabric softeners along with other products contain OBAs. The chemicals applied when textile was manufactured would wash away eventually with repeated laundering. So the idea came to put the things into detergents and almost everything else that touches laundry to make fabrics "look like new". If you stop using laundry products with OBAs eventually the level on fabric will decline. You'll notice things do not appear to "pop" in sunlight or under florescent lights. This or simply get a black light blub and test fabrics that way. OTOH if one is rather keen there are other methods: www.thesmarttime.com/articles/oba... Many of the so called "restore" products for whites and colorfast laundry are nothing more than heavy dosages of oxygen bleach and fabric brightening agents. www.tintex.ca/blogs/tinte... For those worried about OBAs and skin, you needn't be; human skin is constantly shedding so whatever FWAs that do rub off on skin will soon slough off. Of course continuous contact with textiles treated/laundered with products containing such chemicals will only redeposit again, but there you are. |
