While changing over from chemical products .

When trying to finish products .

For example washing up liquid had two under sink every time I used one put it behind next tiem used eco and did time about and till my procucts were all finsihed.

Now I only use eco products.

Gosh I am saving money now dont have bottles and bottles.

1 standby as one finshed have 1 to used then top only with 1 unless there is an offer of buy one get one free etc.

What eco products do you use - and how did you cut down on bottles? Can you buy them in refills?

Hi Maytreefrannie ,I do like the like the Eco Bathroom Spray compared to jif etc.

Sinks come up nice and clean and shiny and smooth not feeling like grit and taps gleeming.

Also kitchen cleaner and multi purpose .

Last longer and as you dont need to use so much find I am not having a few bottles in my laundry cupboard.

Eco dishwasher tablets i dont need to buy rinse aid and dishes come up really smooth an dclean.

Ecover United Kingdom - Squirt eco refill

Why I prefer because they are chemical free now you can tend to see in supermarkers suppliers are changing.

Snadger no need to be confused.

I now only buy cleaning products when nearly finished and only replace .

Where before always had a stock a lot of money lying out when you think of it.

Me too....

I think Scotkat meant they alternated between the eco products and the chemical products until all the chemical was used up and then stuck with the eco stuff. I recommend everything by Ecover, I have been using their products for years as I am allergic to most purfumes and surfactants. You can buy big tubs of their products and just refill as and when required. I definately recommend their Limescale remover its absolutely great and I know that anything I use by them won't kill little frogs, fish or any animal that may eat a waterborne animal.

Thankyou you understand me wiccanlou.Yes I alternated untill I finished chemical products simple.

id reccomend co-ops eco friendly cleaning stuff its really good and 1/2 the price of eccover

I used to use ecover everything. I dont like the laundry tablets as they dont clean well but the spot stain remover, floor cleaners, and hand wash are great. Look into the virtues of white vinegar and baking soda! Baking soda is really great for deodorizing carpets and the vinegar cannot be beat on cleaning things like wood floors, etc.

I'm a big fan of Ecover too, but I don't use their limescale remover. Why? Because vinegar is much cheaper, does just as good, safe to use on things like kettles and coffee makers and also enviromentally friendly!

I was given a book the other week called "Natural Stain Remover" and it's fab it tells you how to do all sorts of household jobs with the use of the likes of baking soad, lemon juice, vinegar etc. Much cheaper, doesn't cause me any breathing problems like some shop bought remedies cost and, on the whole, less risky to the environment.

Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

I used to get really~make that REALLY~bad headaches cleaning.I've since switched to either bought eco products or homemade ones & the headaches have gone!!The homemade mix that still amazes me several years later is to make a paste with bicarb of soda & lemon juice~smear on sink & leave for 5 mins~when you come to wipe it off you'll be amazed at the results!!~almost worth letting your sink get grubby for!!
