I have been a fan of Ecostore products ever since I tried out a vast array of their green baby products including the Nappy Balm and Sleepytime Bath Soap. This week I tried some of their green cleaners and was impressed once again. Not only are they a company dedicated to green products, they fully disclose ingredients and they will be coming soon to Meijer stores in the Midwest, so they will be readily available. This company started out in New Zealand so now the US can benefit from their quality and safety standards. I think it is pretty awesome and I like Meijer too.
Ecostore offers more than 100 products, and each one meets the most stringent environmental and sustainability standards. Their products are good for the user and for the planet or they don’t sell them. Also because they know how expensive it can be to buy natural or organic products, they have super-concentrated each formula so it goes a long way and you get your money’s worth.
This week I test drove the Dishwash Liquid and the Pure Oxygen Laundry Whitener.
The dishwash liquid has very nice, fresh scent and it was very sudsy which I like in a liquid dish soap. Ingredients include:
I would definitely buy it.
The pure oxygen whitener contains oil of citrus and coconut and other plant-based ingredients. It cleans and whitens clothes and does not contain any harsh chemicals that could irritate delicate skin. It did get our whites whiter I think but I cannot compare to something like bleach because we don’t use it. Ingredients include:
- Carbonates (simple mineral salts)
- Sodium percarbonate (oxygen producing whitener)
- Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)
- Citrates (from citrus)
- Highly biodegradable surfactant
- Natural citrus oil
I am not a stickler for keeping whites gleaming white…I don’t place that much importance in it but I think this is a great alternative for those that are. ;)
Wow – I will have to check out this company. I love Meijer stores also but unfortunately the closest one is in Kentucky and we are in nearby Tennessee. :(
Unfortunately I am a sucker for marketing…I love the simple earthy labeling on these products, too!
Thanks for passing this along, Tiffany! :)
Hi! i apology for my english, i´m from Mexico… and i love your blog :)
please,
can you tell me the comparative between the soap nuts and the eco store laundry powder? i see the prices, it is more cheap the powder than the soap nuts…
thank you!
Rosabely,
Eco store laundry powder is more cost effective I would think.
That’s a great company!
You can also save yourself a lot of money by going green and using common household ingredients that are far less expensive than store bought cleaners.
I have to do a lot of research! i am very new to all of this. The only stores close to me are the local grocery store and Walmart…so i try to buy eco friendly as much as possible! How about Clorox Green Works products…does anyone use those? What a great blog…and website :)
