    DS1 and DH both have eczema and i use Earth Choice liquid concentrate for our front loader. No problems with it - works well enough, good price, no skin irritations.
    Is there a "thumbs up" smilie? Oh, here it is

    Is it honestly better than any other stuff out there, or just a lot of good marketing? I find it hard to believe something so cheap has all the good environmentally friendly stuff in it...especially when the other brands like EcoStore etc are so expensive. Not dissing it...I'm just curious

    I love all the earth choice products. Sadly they're quite hard to come by up here.

    I often mix mine with bicarb so it goes further and I still only use half a scoop. DOes the same job.

    Nothing to swap. I've never not considered the planet when it comes to washing.

    PLanet Ark powder is actually a bumsteer. Most liquids, like Amolin Sensitive, are actually better for the environment because they have lower sodium levels.

    Check out Lanfax Laboratories for the lowdown.

    And soap nuts are awesome. I chuck a bit of lavender oil water in with the rinse cycle because I love a nice smell. I use Earth Choice liquid or a woolwash on the really hardcore dirty stuff, like cycling gear, and soapnuts on everything else.

    I have used Earth's Choice for years - seriously cheap, good results in cold water and no reactions from the kids even with newborn washes.

    Well, I thought I was using a good choice and had no reason to swap but I use Aware Sensitive powder! Thanks for the link- I can't find Amolin on there so not sure how you made the comparison but Earth Choice is a better choice so we'll get that next time. I've also used up a sample of soap nuts and I'minspired again to buy a bulk lot of it so I can use those again.
