Ecover Fabric Softener Product Review

January 17, 2008 · Written by Adam

Fabric softener is fabric softener really, so I thought it’d be tricky to test. However while it’s tricky to compare, it’s easy to test and Ecover’s works nicely. I did a review of soapnuts and felt after that I didn’t need laundry powder or fabric softener again. But the advantage of using it is not only softer feeling clothes, but mainly the smell. Soapnuts worked brilliantly cleaning, but on my sport clothes it didn’t give the off the ‘clean’ smell.

So along with washing powder and, on a separate occassion, soapnuts, I poured just one capful (you can do two for ‘extra softness) into the drawer of the washing machine and washed away. It can also be used for hand washing too.

And it did a good job. The smell of ‘freshness’ isn’t as strong as some brands, but it was a nice smell and my sports stuff were the same.

    “Clean” shouldn’t have a smell, I reckon those soapnuts are the way forward. I suppose it depends how they’re grown and harvested though.

    This is probably the best laundry softener i have ever tried, and I’ve tried a lot, many of them leave clothes with a “waxy” feeling or such a strong perfume I start sneezing! Not this one, nice fresh light scent that fades.

Got something to say?
