Green Washing power or liquid

barker77

I currently use liquid persil. Good points being it’s made in the uk. Bad seemingly it’s in plastic bottles.

Looking around persil powder is made in Spain so that seems bad from a freight miles perspective. Daz is made in the uk though and comes in cardboard boxes. 

Wondered if anyone has looked into similar and what would recommend?!

many thanks

I haven’t looked very far into it but I have switched from Persil liquid to Smol. 

Will be interested to know if there’s a cheaper option though.

Faith in nature, super concentrate, 5 litres. 150 washes. £21 from Amazon

We are very pleased with it it. The account of plastic per wash is very small with 5 litres.

I use a mixture of Daz powder and an Eco-egg, depending on what I'm washing, how dirty it is and so on. 

After a lot if trial and error, the eco egg is used for the majority of our washes and I use Daz for whites and for particularly dirty or smelly coloured laundry.

Hi, like newlywed, above, my family's now with smol. 

I like that it's vegan as well as cruelty free and it's delivered to my home. Packaging is all recyclable. No complaints so far and we've been using it for over a year. You can change the schedule to suit your own circumstances. I don't think it's bad value for money and wouldn't switch to any other product in order to save any money. I don't want to use any product that's tested on animals. 

Google it and you can request free samples. It's all made in the UK.

We use Method. Pay £6.5 per bottle on Amazon. It's highly effective, smells great and is contained in a PET (1) bottle but is not as green as a product like 7th Generation, which beats it on green credentials ever so slightly.

I do the same, Eco-egg and powder for very dirty stuff and whites. Using Lidl non-bio at the moment which I bought before lockdown and still have 1/2 a box left

Might also be worth considering what type of plastic bottle it is and if your council collects for recycling. Mine only takes 1 (PET) and 2 (HDPE) so many bottles can just go in the recycling.
