Ecover Get powered by nature for a super green clean this spring

I was sent a few of the Ecover cleaning products to trial and feature, I wanted to put some of their spring cleaning info here too.

I was very impressed with the powerful cleaning all without the powerful chemicals. I am fed up frankly with toxic potions that while giving strong powerful cleaning results, can be harsh if breathed in and not kind to skin.

I was not sure how cleaners minus the chemicals would hold up, but  as I am now using bicarb, vinegar and lemon where I can,  I was hopeful. Find out in my review soon.

It’s coming round to that time of year again when women and men (come on guys) up and down the country take advantage of the first few warm days of spring by rolling their sleeves up, grabbing the rubber gloves, and preparing to clean their houses from top to bottom.

We all normally reach for the strongest and most convenient products we can find to get the job done. However, cleaning experts Ecover are challenging consumers to say goodbye to unnecessary chemicals as well as grime this spring, by giving their homes a great green clean with Ecover’s wide range of effective and ecological cleaning products.

Top tips for greening your spring clean…

Using Ecover is one way of eliminating unnecessary chemicals from your home, but see below for some other top tips for a green spring clean…

Unsavoury smells? Save money on artificial air fresheners – open windows to freshen your home or try Ecover’s Room Fragrances range which are based on plant extracts and essential oils instead.

Stale smelling laundry – make the most of the spring weather and dry your laundry outside for a truly fresh fragrance

Blocked drains? To keep your drain clear and odour free, mix one cup of baking soda and one cup of salt in a container. Every so often, tip a quarter of the mixture down the drain (save the rest for later) and follow with a pot of boiling water.

Smelly fridge? Remove strong odours from your fridge by placing half a lemon in there and leaving it in over night.

Greasy microwave? Try Ecover’s new Power Cleaner

Dirty kitchen bin? Use a solution of water and a teaspoon of Ecover’s chlorine free Laundry Bleach (RRP £1.86). Swill, leave for a while and rinse for a gleaming finish.

Blocked shower head? Try a few squirts of Ecover’s Limescale Remover; leave overnight and rinse in the morning

And finally…don’t think you need a different cleaner for each task. A good All Purpose Cleaner like ours can be used for all washable surfaces including floors, tiles and painted woodwork

* All these products are part of Ecover’s new hard surface cleaning range which launched mid-2009. This powerful range is accredited by the Good Housekeeping Institute and features pioneering ingredients called Eco-Surfactants2 developed exclusively by Ecover’s ecological innovators, which mean the new range is proven to clean as well as – or better than - the UK’s leading conventional brands.
