Can't resist a freebie sachet of anything, and so a sample of 'Method Laundry Detergent' which claims to be 95% natural and renewable ingredients, readily biodegradable and non-toxic just had to be worth a try.
Now I've always been an Ecover girl - tried and tested, and available in huge sacks, which is great for saving dosh and cutting packaging. But then I noticed my laundry didn't smell so great when it was drying. Could I admit that my beloved eco washing powder actually made some clothes smell of sick?
So I gave Method a go. It was easy to use in a cute dispenser so easy to squirt into washing machine drawer (lose eco points for the plastic bottle - yes I can recycle it but it can't beat Ecover's eco friendly cardboard box). And it smelt pleasant (or not unpleasant) if you choose the 'free and clear' one that has no scent.
It saves space as it's super concentrated, and I reckon works out about 20 p per wash - so not really cheap. (Note to manufacturers - lets see a bigger pack please!)
I got lucky when I spotted Sainsbury's selling Method for £3 instead of £6 so if I can occasionally get discounts like this, I'll continue to use it. Otherwise, Ecover will probably remain my old faithful friend. And maybe the occasional bit of Ecover Fabric Softener will hide the smell of sick.
GreenMummy request!
If you spot Method at bargain prices anywhere online or in the shops, please share your tips!
