I love the roof on the Ecover factory, it's great! And not like you can do this every day, but at the Ideal home exhibition they do packs mixed Ecover products about half price. I stock up on quite a bit when I go!

Even in bulk it's still more expensive than Sainsburys. 1ltr Washing up liquid in Sainsburys is £1.75.

Yes, I agree on some things it is, but at least you can get everything here - I can never find half of this stuff in my local Tesco or Sainsburys.

That's very true, it does have a great selection

The W5 brand detergent at Lidl (the one suitable for babies clothes) is non-biological and phosphate free which as far as I know is roughly what the Ecover equivalent is (?)

This is really REALLY interesting, although there's the fact that Ecover seems to promote a more integrated approach, with care for the "process" of producing household products.

Not sure this is at all guarantee though, as I am always wary of claims made by companies which are not certified by third parties (i.e. soil association for organically certified products).


I expect W5 to be sensibly cheaper too.
