Clean and Green!
I like the Ecover Laundry Wash for all my laundry needs. I don't like the chemicals in regular detergent, I don't want the residue on my skin and I don't want it going down the drain to poison the animals in the rivers and ocean. That said, none of the less toxic cleaners are going to clean as aggressively as something as toxic as something like Proctor and Gamble's Tide. Harsh toxic chemicals are always going to clean better than less toxic ones. If you wipe off your hands with gasoline it will remove the dirt better than regular soap but that doesn't mean that we should all be using it. But having used many different green cleaners like Ecover Laundry Wash then this particular brand is pretty decent and does a good job on my laundry and I highly recommend it for your laundry too. I like that it doesn't have a strong smell, I don't like it when my laundry leaves a strong scent behind everywhere I go. Usually that is a sign of a chemical solvent or phalates, which I don't want to partake of :) Scent Low scent which is what I like!
