The only reason I don't rate it Very Good is because they don't offer this in a non-scented version and because I feel that Biokleen products are a tad better. That being said, if you don't like or can't source Biokleen, then Ecover is the brand to go with. Most of the ingredients aren't on the harmful-for-you lists that you can find on the web, and I've had no reactions to them even though I'm chemically sensitive. And even though this product is scented, at least they used a relatively natural one that's in the citrus family. Performance While most of these natural type products do the job well and do clean adequately, if you CAN use products that have more chemicals in them, they will clean a bit better than this product will. However, you'll be harming the environment if you do just because you want something a little cleaner than how Ecover will leave it. I prefer the natural route. Scent Would prefer a non-scented product, but citrus is bearable.

I got this as a sample and used it on my floor.  It seems to clean pretty well, at least as effective as Mop and Glow, which is what I normally use.  Unlike Mr. Clean, which is impressive and a little scary in the way that it lifts grease, this stuff did require a lot of elbow grease and scrubbing to get the ground-in dirt to come up, but it did come up and it also left a nice natural lemony scent.  I hate chemical smelling cleaners, so this was a really nice change.  I also feel better about using this product around my small children who are into everything and still put things in their mouths.  It is a tremendous benefit to be able to feel a product is safe enough to use while my child is "helping" me.  I also used a little of this on my wood cabinets and it did not strip the finish or leave any stains.  One thing that was kind of a pain was the directions that require that the cleaner be diluted in water.     That's a little inconvenient.  But overall, I like this product and might buy it for myself if I can find it.

I am a big fan of products that are good for the environment. In fact I very rarely buy cleaning products. I usually stick to vinegar, baking soda and water for my cleaning needs. I decided to give Ecover Ecological All Purpose Cleaner with the Natural Lemon Fragrance to tacklet some of my tougher jobs. So far it has worked great! I use it to clean my black kitchen table (which can only be cleaned with certain things or it streaks) and this product did wonders. I also used it to clean my stove (which had a terrible run in with some spilled butter). This cleaner cleaned it up perfectly, without needing a ton of elbow grease to do so. I also really like the smell of this product and of course the fact that it is a natural product. Another good things is that you don't need a ton of this product to clean things. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to get their things clean, but also make sure that they are kind to the enviornment.

I was lucky enough to received a small bottle of Ecover all purpose cleaner. It was concentrated, so a little went a long ways. I used it mixed with water for general cleaning, and straight from the bottle for badly stained areas. It has a real pleasant smell, cleans great without leaving stickness. It is a Ecologial cleaner so I am doing something good for the family, by using this product. Go out and buy some, I'm sure you will be pleased.

Finding environmentally-safe cleansers that work as well as their harsh chemical counterparts can be a challenge, and it can challenge your budget.  As a mom, I am doing my best to replace "traditional" products with safer, healthier, and more environmentally sound products wherever I can, without blowing our budget.  I received a free sample of Ecover All Purpose Cleaner in the mail and used it to clean my shower.  The smell is fantastic!  Fresh, clean, lemon with no overpowering chemical or bleach scent.  It produces nice "suds" when used undiluted, and it really did make my shower look and smell clean and fresh.  I was very impressed.  It doesn't "scour" or "destroy mildew on contact" or anything like that, so I did have to scrub the shower walls and tub a bit harder than I usually would (with a bunch of chemicals), but it was worth it to me to get the job done and not have that lightheaded/foggy feeling I sometimes get when "trapped" in our little bathroom with a bunch of chemicals for too long. I will definitely buy this product, even if it costs a little more than my regular cleanser.
