i have discovered them in sainsburys. not seen them elsewhere as yet though. they come in a green round tub and they are not tablets but capsulated powder. so far i think they are brilliant. been using them for about a month. only wish i could remember the name of it 🙁 . will add later.... nice to have an alternative to ecover. they do 3 types: normal, hypolallergic and a sensitive. sainsburys have all 3 online but so far i have only seen the hypo and sensitive in my local store.
just found this link in another eco post the products are called Simply
oh i like the sound of them! Must get to Sainsbury's and get some, use ecover and just refill when empty but always like to try something new. Thanks for that.:)
Thank you passing this information on 🙂

Haven't tried the Sainsbury one's ut I use these.
thought i might try the soap nuts from lakeland, has anyone else used them?
I like them, there's no residue left and no perfume and it's nice to know they are eco friendly. They last ages too.
hi thank you for send to me . i want tell you i,m new and i dont know how i can use it and i,m egyptian but i live here in uk any way thankyou agin bye
I didn't realise Lakeland did them. I get them [DLMURL="http://ethicstrading.com/soapnuts.html"]here[/DLMURL] for about half the price. However, I don't use them for whites but use the stuff that comes in an ice cream tub instead 🙂 It's called [url]Simply Active Eco-Smart Washing Powder[/url]. You can get it in most supermarkets (I get mine in the Co-Op) and you can buy refill boxes online, which saves you having to deal with the plastic packaging if you're in an area where you can't recycle plastic.
Oh! thanks for telling me this, I never use such a thing, but I will have a try.
Aldi had some ecoballs in store last week which were a lot cheaper than the online stores we normally buy from , maybe theres still sosme left?
I use Wikaniko because they have such a wide range of choice - washing balls (I'm sure they have a proper name), soap nuts,, laundy liquid, dryer balls - all kinds of stuff and all pretty reasonable (cheaper than lakeland and tesco anyhoo) - I use the BioD laundry liquid and fabric conditioner and put a couple of drops of lemongrass and lavender essential oil in the fc - smells gorgeous, cleans well and makes everything really soft 😀
ooh good thread, gonna check all these links out sharpish!
thanks 🙂
SIMPLY ACTIVE is brilliant ,I use these.
They are approved by [DLMURL="http://www.vegansociety.com/home.php"]The Vegan Society[/DLMURL] so get my seal of approval lol.
They are very very popular. And even better for me they are a Yorkshire based company, so for me living in Yorkshire I'm buying local too lol.
Ecover are def in my bad books , as they lost their Vegan soceity approval last year for using animal ingredients (rabbits blood) and doing animal experiments , but also for using GM ingredients in half of their products now. Hardly what I call ECO friendly!!!!
