Bio D Concentrate Laundry Liquid

It’s been a while since I talked about our switch from conventional products to non-toxic, more natural products. I have had lots of questions about washing and laundry liquids. The ones I am sharing here have been my favourites having tried and tested many. I was previously using E-cover for my laundry but it recently got taken over by Johnson so I have moved onto Bio D. I bought a small bottle to start with and have now been refilling this with the larger one above. So far so good. The clothes come out smelling fresh (no artificial smell) and as I wash regularly the stains have all come out. It’s a British product, is environmentally friendly and doesn’t harm animals. A total win.

Clothes that are washed with natural laundry products, even scented products, shouldn’t carry a strong fragrance with them. If there is a fragrance used, it’s going to be subtle. But garments should always feel, smell, and look clean after a wash. Clean smells…clean, not like a particular fragrance that’s designed to give us a feeling of something being clean.

Bio D Washing up liquid

 I have been using this washing up liquid for a few years now and am very happy with it, it foams up well and cleans all dishes, even awful stuck on oven trays. I again started with a small bottle and now refill it with the larger one above.

When making the switch to non-toxic products, I recommend using the EWG or the Think Dirty App. These resources allow you to scan or write in a product, or the ingredients used, and get feedback about the ingredients and how the product rates on a toxicity scale. Neither resource is perfect, but right now these are the best resources we have, besides contacting a company directly, for learning about brands and ingredients.
