Trying to be good. Does anyone know of a good washing powder that isn't bad for the environment (or not too bad!) and work on real nappies. Always been told Ecover is a no no for nappies. Currently using Surcare but interested if others have found a god one. Ideally want one to use on everything, rather than a separate one for nappies. Ta

We use Bio-D washing powder which we buy in bulk 12.5kg boxes a few times a year. I switched to it mainly because my son and I have sensitive skin and it doesn't have any perfume or cause irritation. It washes really well at low temperatures. I also use Bio D laundry bleach and find this very effective on coloured clothes and to revive grey looking whites. Can you tell I'm currently in nesting mode awaiting baby number 2? Never thought I would be so enthusiastic about laundry detergent!


Here is a link to where I get it from.

Sorry Etta - I don't know what's wrong with it - maybe nothing?!? I was told it invalidated some nappy guarantees as it builds up in your nappies. That's not my experience, and can't remember who told me! Don't take me word for it though - could be speaking rubbish
Daz plus a scoop of miofresh worked best for me. Only a v small amount of daz though- 1-2 tablespoons depending on load. I seem to remember that Ecover doesn't rinse out so well - if you search on a nappy forum like clothnappytree you'll find an explanation

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
