What are optical brighteners?
Most conventional detergents contain an optical 'brightener.' This is a chemical which reflects light, making your clothes and linens look brighter than they really are.
Optical brighteners make an irreversible chemical bond with the skin and exposure is more or less permanent as we are always in contact with some kind of material.
Ecover will not use optical brighteners in any of our laundry detergents.
In addition to the problems they cause to skin they do not increase the washing effect, nor the hygiene of your wash.
The environmental benefits of Ecover non bio laundry liquid are:
- Quick and complete biodegradability.
- Minimum impact on aquatic life.
- Suitable for septic tanks.
- New pioneering ingredients.
Ecover is always looking for new, high-performance ecological ingredients that will give better washing performance and increased benefits to the environment. Ecover's improved formula Laundry Liquid uses a pioneering new ecological ingredient that has been the result of extensive research and collaboration with an ingredient supplier.
The new ingredient is made from rapeseed oil (non GMO) and its benefits include its low foaming properties.
Foam is detrimental to the washing process and can result in up to 50% of the washing power being lost.
Conventional laundry powders contain substances such as silicones to control foaming, but Ecover prefer not to use such environmentally risky ingredients.
Ecover have also combined this new surfactant with a sugar detergent, which is currently one of the best ingredients available in terms of environmental impact and washing effectiveness.
Ecover's new Laundry liquid formula offers superior cleaning properties and exceptional ecological properties.
The toxicity to aquatic organisms of the improved formula is ten times lower on average than the toxicity of conventional liquid laundry detergents.
Bottle and labels are made of polyethylene; cap of polypropylene.
Polyethylene and polypropylene are 100 % recyclable and can be recycled together using a low energy process.
Ecover Non-bio Laundry Liquid is recommended for coloureds and is economical to use.
Ecover Non-bio Laundry Liquid is also great for hand washing.
