Customer Reviews of Earth Friendly Products Ecos 2x Liquid Laundry Detergent, Magnolia & Lily, 100-Ounce Bottle (Pack of 4)
Customer Review: Works Better Then Any Other Brand I've Used Before
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a simple review for those of you who are still hesitant about buying "earth friendly" laundry soap. Here are the top reasons why i use it. Oh and Ive tried all the scents, Magnolia and Lily are my top choice.
1. SAVES YOU MONEY!!!! you use half of what you would normaly use with other detergents.
2. WORKS GREAT! I have two large dogs that i take with me ony my walks/jogs and things can get quite messy. I wash their dog bed covers etc.... and my clothes that they manage to get their muddy paws on (gotta love dogs) and then i have the stinky gym clothes. I was skeptical at first about wether or not it would clean as well as my other soap, it works better!
3. ECO FRIENDLY! Im doing everything i can to be green and this is one of the easiest ways to do it. You always have to do laundry right??? just switch your detergent, easy as that. I liked mine right away and bought more of it immediately, but i had some bottles of the other stuff left. I donated them to a local animal shelter and the rest to a homeless shelter (great way to help out and not waste)
4. NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS....EVER!!! this was the biggest BONUS of all. I work at a zoo and vets office. I love animals and it pains me to know that products are tested on them in the most horrific ways. Im helping the animals and the environment at the same time.
A MUST BUY! you will love it!
Customer Review: Terrific value for a really good laundry detergent
Summary: 5 Stars
When we bought a new high-efficiency washer, we had no idea of the price of the HE laundry detergent. Since our options were limited locally, I decided to see what Amazon had to offer. I found this detergent.
I really, really, really like this detergent. It has a light fragrance that isn't cloying or overpowering like some detergents have. That was important to me as I am allergic to many fragrances (I can't even use baby oil!). The laundry comes out with a faint, fresh smell that is perfect for us. The performance is everything I could wish for. I'd never used a natural laundry detergent before and I liked the idea... especially since we are on septic. But I was a bit concerned about performance. There was no need to worry at all. This cleans as well, if not better, than the Tide samples that came with the washer... without the heavy fragrance that was a bit overpowering.
One of the things that makes this an even better buy for us is that it is formulated for HE AND regular washers. This way I can share my purchases with my daughter, who has a regular washing machine.
I can't say enough good about this detergent. This purchase was a "Subscribe and Save" and I am definitely going to keep it coming! Gee, what more could one ask? A great natural laundry detergent with a really great price delivered to our door. That's a win-win-win situation for us.
Customer Review: Does NOT get your laundry clean!
Summary: 1 Stars
I really wanted to like this detergent because I try to use as many environmentally friendly cleaning products as possible. Unfortunately, this stuff simply does not work to remove dirt and stains, AT ALL. I'm not talking about ketchup, oil, red wine or blood stains--as those can be tough to remove even with the harshest of chemicals. I'm talking simple dirt on a sock from shoes that got muddy, or dust from a reusable cloth that was used to wipe down some shelves, or soil from a dish cloth. Things come out of the washer looking like you forgot to add soap at all. I even tried boosting the laundry with Borax, using hot water, using a longer wash cycle... none of which did anything to make my laundry any cleaner.
The light, non-sickening fragrance is nice, and it's nice to see someone trying to make safer detergent. Unfortunately, I want my laundry to actually be clean if I am gonna expend the time, water, and electricity to get it done.
Please do not waste your money on this product unless you don't mind half of your laundry coming out looking like it's still dirty. It's not asking for miracles to expect your laundry detergent to get simple dirt out from a sock. Green products will never catch on with the mainstream unless they can produce some reasonably similar results to those products that harm our environment.
Customer Review: ECOS is the best laundry product I've found in years!
Summary: 5 Stars
When COSTCO in MA and other states stopped carrying ECOS, I nearly died! I had become hooked on its cleaning properties as well as its environmentally responsible formulation. (My friend who's traveled a lot in Mexico said the smell reminded her of the fresh clean clothes on air-drying lines there!) I searched for it in every store I could think would carry it, and did not locate one bottle. I left messages at my local COSTCO locations, both in their suggestion box and in person with management. They said they were phasing out the product! Soon after I realized Kirkland brands of COSTCO had made a competing product, and that's clearly why they stopped carrying such an awesome product like ECOS. BTW, their product, while "okay", doesn't compare at all to ECOS -- nice try, but you failed. I only bought one bottle of Kirkland's product and that will be it. I was desperate to have my lily-magnolia scented soap again --- so, I went to the internet, where I found ECOS at an unbelievable price on Amazon. I've told all my friends about it, and they like me, are now happily using Amazon as their go-to for products like laundry soap. Now, only if ECOS would come out with a softener line as well!!Customer Review: Does the job well!
Summary: 4 Stars
Compared to other earth friendly detergents, this one is definitely one of the best (I haven't tried them all, so I can't say it's #1 just yet!). I work in an office, so my daily clothes don't get particularly dirty, though I also use this on my sweaty gym clothes as well. I find that it does a good job of removing stains and odors and leaves my clothes smelling clean and fresh, though I have never tested the product without either chlorine bleach (whites) or biokleen oxygenated bleach (all other loads). It's definitely a winning combo. I find that you do still need fabric softner with this product, and the method squeaky green dryer sheets complement this product well.
I will say that if you're looking to remove heavy stains and odors, I'm not sure that any eco friendly detergent will satisfy you. though, honestly, I think that is a result of the heavy fragrance used in conventional products more than anything... which merely cover up odors rather than truly remove them.
For my needs, ecos works great at a price I love!
