Product Review: Ecos Laundry Detergent

Buying a “natural” laundry detergent like Ecos , is great for the environment. It’s biodegradable, safe for septic systems, great for sensitive skin, and is phosphate and petrochemical free.

Ecos laundry detergent is a plant based detergent.

I’ve used this product for approximately a year now, and find it works great at getting clothes clean. For stains, you can rub a small amount of the detergent on the stain, and wash as per washing instructions. It’s great for colors, and safe for all water temperatures.

Price per load is slightly higher than regular detergents, however, with it’s built in fabric softener (soy based), you save money on buying an additional fabric softener.

Ecos suggests using 2 ounces of detergent for a full load of clothes, and less for smaller loads. If you’re using a high efficiency (HE) washer, you only need 2 tablespoons.

I recently purchased a 210 fluid ounce bottle of the Ecos laundry detergent (Ultra Original Formula) at Costco. It’s scented with magnolia and lily, which leaves your clothes smelling fresh.

The best part of this product…I can pronounce all of the ingredients. Now, that’s natural.

And, making it even better…………….it’s made in the USA. Considering that, I give it, two thumbs up. 8)

    2. I used this detergent for several months, and love it. Nice choice of fragrance and the clothes come out very soft and pleasant to touch.

    3. Elena,

    Thank you for your comment.

    Isn’t this detergent, just the greatest? I find myself “sniffing” my clothes when I’m folding them.

    Maybe I need to “get a life” 8)

    5. I had never tried the ECOS but had seen it at Costco for awhile. I had been meaning to try it when I saw that Costco had put in a new brand in by Kirkland. So I tried it as it said that it was Eco friendly and all that. WOW! I hated it!
    it made me break out! It also had a very weird smell. I had to return it and decided to go with my original choice which was the ECOS. Boy what a difference!! I was so shocked! I didn’t think it would work that well being natural and all but it did!! I am so happy I decided to try it!
    It worked so well and I didn’t break out at all! And yes the smell is so clean smelling. It also saved me money because I didn’t need any softener/dryer sheets. I am so glad that I tried it. I noticed that they list all their ingredients on the back (which I can pronounce:)).
    I am going to look for more of their products as I am now hooked!!

    6. I bought ECOS from Costco and I was disappointed. At first I thought that my high efficient washer was ruining my clothes because all the clothes and even shirts I just bought, after taking it out of the washer, seem to have fibers coming off of it. Some clothes even has tiny fuzz balls on the surface.

    7. Hi Christine – Unfortunately Costco often changes their stock. I had to switch again as they didn’t have the Ecos. Hopefully they will get it back soon.

    Hi Eve – Oh my gosh. I’ve never heard of that. Have you thought of writing to Ecos and letting them know about your problem?

    8. I’ve been using ECOS for a few months now, and I am nothing short of amazed!!

    I didn’t expect much from it at first, but it’s hard finding something that doesn’t irritate my skin… or have enough fragrance to offend a skunk!

    Not only does it have a nice light clean scent, and it doesn’t affect my skin at all… it does a GREAT job of cleaning my clothes too!!

    I sure hope Costco continues to carry this and other ECOS products in the future… I’d hate to have to go back to that other crap.

Tell me what you're thinking...
