Review: Ecover

I recently received two specific products from Ecover. A company dedicated to offering eco-friendly products.

The two products tested, by me.....

Toilet Bowl Cleaner and
Glass and Surface Cleaner

The Facts are this:
Ecover is dedicated to producing "washing and cleaning products in an ecological, economic and socially responsible way in a unique ecological factory".

I will admit, I am not one that is overly eco-conscious. Don't get me wrong, I don't cruise down the road tossing garbage out the window or spend my afternoons tromping on rare wild flowers. I do however, try to remember my re-usable shopping bags and make the most of the plastic ones, when I end up with them.

When I was offered to actually try something like this, I was anxious and hopeful. Hopeful that maybe it could be a way for me to be a little kinder to the earth.

So my opinion?

I liked the products. The truth is, they were not what I am used to.

The glass cleaner was effective and worked well. However, I felt that it left a greasy film behind. It was minimal but greasy, nonetheless.

As for the toilet bowl cleaner, I found that it's odor was not as harsh as some of the products I have used. Having said that, it wasn't as effective either. I have tough stains people. I live in a house full of boys. Potty training boys. My cleaners have to be tough. It took an extra cleaning of at least one affected throne (read: toilet).

The bottom line..according to me.....

These are good products. They are quality, and above all they are kind to our earth. Are they for me? Not necessarily. I'm not going to give up though....and I recommend you take my opinion for the $0.02 it's worth and try these products for yourself.

A Huge THANKS to Ecover for providing me with my their product, for my review. No other compensation was received. The above is my own personal opinions and should be considered as such.
