Natural, Super Concentrated, Laundry Liquid with Aloe Vera and Rosemary Oil, Vegan and Cruelty Free, No SLS, Parabens or Phosphates, 5 L Refill Pack, 5 l (Pack of 1)

If you are looking to reduce the environmental impact of detergents then, short of standing knee deep in the nearest river bashing clothes against rocks, this seems as good as any. It was a cheaper alternative but the price has gone up by almost £4 from July 2019 to March this year which makes it less attractive on value and puts it in competition, in price at least, with other ecological friendly products in what is now a growing market. The container states 150 washes, which on current price works out at 14p a wash – up from just under 12p six months ago – but the 150 figure is not set in stone. Small loads or lightly soiled clothes can be washed with less detergent which will increase the number of washes. We have found it is good for most washing loads, but it does struggle with heavily soiled items without pre-treatment. There is no scent in clothes when they are washed and dried, just a sort of neutral clean smell, a nothing smell really, rather than the fresh, perfumed fragrance from chemical based detergents, and there are no optical brighteners or fluorescing agents in the liquid which means you will not get dazzling whites in bright sunshine. Clean washed whites have a slight grey or yellow cast, hardly noticeable and it is the natural colour, but people wanted whites that shone to show they were really clean, so in the past people used chemicals such as dolly blue to make clothes appear whiter and modern detergent manufactures add synthetic chemicals to create the same effect. Similarly, you will not get lots of foaming which is wrongly associated with cleaning power by many people rather than the surfactants, the wetting agents, which do most of the heavy lifting in detergents, allowing the water to reach the dirt and lift it off. A small point, but important to some people, my son has eczema which is affected by clothes washed in chemical detergents, something which does not happen with items washed in Faith in Nature. We also use soap nuts, obviously, not at the same time as Faith in Nature, and we would be happy to use either as our sole washing product. Both clean well in general, apart from the proviso of heavy soiling needing pre-treatment, both leave fried washing soft and neither leave any residue or chemicals on clothes and, let’s be honest, the main reason we use either, both are much safer for the environment.

Ecover - Excellent washing results. Human and Earth friendly. Lovely smell which is not synthetic and is not overpowering. Clothes come out fresh and clean. This 5L has lasted for almost 5 months and still has at least 10 washes left in the bottle. Good price. Only one problem - difficult to get hold of and now no longer affordable. The price has increased by £10 since May 2024 - that is 6 months! So unfortunate as the best on the market.

Have recently changed all our household cleaning products to Eco friendlier products. I bought this originally in the 1 litre size to try. Didn't hesitate to buy the 5 litre! In a household of 6, the washing machine is on every day doing 3+ loads a day. This will probably last us two months so good value & less plastic bottle waste too. The liquid is a nice consistency with a citrus scent. The clothes come out clean with a fresh subtle scent, no overpowering chemicals. The product is UK made so not only is supporting our UK companies but less air miles too. Members of our household also have sensitive skin, this liquid has no irritating properties. Would never go back to the main brands!

It seems to be a common issue with these ecological bulk liquids that they're huge, last a long long time, are moderately good at cleaning, but they don't smell brilliant. After washes, the machine doesn't smell clean or fresh at all, it just smells a bit meh, damp perhaps. We've cleaned it out until it smells pristine, cleaned the traps and motor, and run through a number of 'cleaners'. When we put something like persil through it, the machine smells all fresh, but with this, it just smells... meh. The cleaning power is fair. It doesn't get out tough stains like baked-in blood and/or red wine or tomato, you'll need to pre-treat the clothing to get that clean. But for daily washing, it's fair. I'd give it 4 stars for cleaning power, and three stars for scent. Sadly, the ecological fabric conditioners don't have a strong scent either, so your washing comes out smelling... well.. cleanish, but not like a summer meadow, or an apple tree or anything... Four stars.. good, but scent is very light.

I never had issues with my laundry with this product, until the point to try another one. Since September-ich I swapped. Now I have to remove the yellow stains from my white t-shirts neck and armpit. Soon I used up go back to your product! PS. I missing the 20L siz,e It was so handy for me.

Before I switched to Faith in Nature Washing Liquid, I was using Fairy Non-bio Washing liquid, which would do all what was expected, but I was looking into more eco-friendly and cheaper solution. I wanted something that is easy to use, doesn't leave intensive scent and washes clothing well without causing skin irritation. I thought I will give Faith in Nature a go. It's been a month now, since I did the first washing load and I have to say that I'm pretty impressed with the results this washing liquid gives me. My washing is left with no stains and smelling fresh, but not overwhelming, which is a bit of a surprise after reading reviews about unpleasant smell. I do treat heavy stains before washing though and have always been adding (even with Fairy non-bio) Vanish powder, when wanted to get rid of stains or make my whites looking bright. But even though, I know that if I use the washing liquid only (and again, I do not have to use more then usual), I can expect from it to do the job. I like that the washing liquid comes in a big container, saving me money and leaving less impact on the environment! It is a bit of a shame that the container doesn't come with measure cup, so I just use my old one from another liquid bottle. I am very pleased and will buy again.

I bought this to give it a try because wash for wash it worked out as less than the leading brand product I was using. I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting great things from this because usually you find that eco-friendly products don't tend to be particularly effective. I was pleasantly surprised at how well this performed. I used the minimum dosage from the label, assuming that I would need to experiment over subsequent washes to find out the "real" quantity that would be needed to get a good result. It turns out that the amount you need is the amount it says. During the first wash I was a little concerned because I am used to my regular detergent frothing like mad, which this doesn't seem to. It didn't seem to stop it from doing an excellent job of cleaning the clothes though, including getting a turmeric stain out from spatter when cooking - turmeric is a nightmare to remove from fabrics! The only negative I can find is that this huge container makes it a little difficult to accurately pour out such a small quantity of viscous fluid, but it doesn't take a genius to work out that you can pour the excess back into the bottle from the dosing ball! Smells lovely and fresh, colours preserved and stains removed. It also won't destroy the planet and no critters were harmed in the making of this product. If that isn't good enough, I don't know what is. Will definitely buy again - probably in a year when this runs out!

I generally like this but came damaged. Leaked out of bottle and through the box - got onto our furniture as well.
