    I love Earth Choice I will have to check that out. I use their dish liquid always, wash powder / liquid sometimes. I find the dish liquid also great value for money ($2 for 750ml!) and effective. Won't use anything else.

    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.
    I have also just bought the planet Ark powder & it's ok...but I love love love Amolin. So good to know it's ok too!

    I really like eco-store products.
    DH was thinking of trying to grow soap nut - anyone done that?

    I switched a while ago - about the same time I changed over to cloth nappies . I also use the Earth Choice dishwashing liquid and all-purpose cleaning spray.
