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

    • Hope not, as need to put swift box back up.  Sadly I was away and one of my tadpoles nurseries died, presumably from stagnant water.  I have others and will take more care.
    • They’re rated as requiring improvement. And it seems that the care quality commission is keeping an eye on them. https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-565650623/inspection-summary It’s taken so long to get to this stage. See this article published in 2011:  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2063458/amp/Family-doctors-firm-raking-1-8m-YEAR--patients-say-surgery-appalling.html We moved to The Gardens some time ago and never looked back. 
    • Surely they must be rated every couple of years? No idea why people stay with them but so be it. Plenty of alternatives locally so choose - stay or go.. Simple..    
    • DMC has been a shit show since I moved to ED which was 19 years ago… It will never improve unless it changes ownership.
